I haven’t announced it on Twitter, but I am leaving Arkansas within the next few weeks. I’ll be returning to my home state of Washington and I’m beyond excited for what the future holds. The community here has been nothing but wonderful. Keep fighting for a better world.
over the past 5 years 2840+ mass shootings have occured in the us, 3 of those shooters have been trans. guns are the number 1 killer of children 1-18 and the right are salivating over a school shooter being trans to deflect away from the main issue. ease of access to weapons.
The article you cite mentions household incomes and inter generational upward mobility, nothing about labor force participation. What is interesting about the data is the lack of mobility in BIPOC communities. https://t.co/ppB1pVUBSg
Just in: Half of all trans youth in America are either in the process of losing care right now or have already lost it. That is a huge number of trans youth that will be forced to detransition.
I fear the suicide rates and mental health crisis this will cause the community.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has signed a law guaranteeing free breakfast and lunch for all students in the state, regardless of how much money their parents make. Tens of thousands of food-insecure kids will benefit.
Wokeness claims:
1. Western civilization and its institutions were and are discriminatory, and serve the purposes of those in power (typically, white straight men);

Hell, I turned on the news here in Seattle and the debates between Rs and Ds were pretty damn rational compared to the political rhetoric of Rs down there. Its just amazing of what Rs are keeping away from the good people of Arkansas.
When I got my new license in WA I was asked if I’d like to register to vote. A month later I get a card in the mail with a notice that I will receive a ballot 20 days before an election with all relevant details. Dropbox locations included.
In AR, a state that’s now allowing children to become laborers and dismantling public schools, figuring out where, when, and how to vote was never a straightforward process. Arkansas treats its people so fucking badly, it’s mind-blowing.

So I want to cover Florida's HB254, a detransition bill + a child removal bill, but the App is messing up, the site says the meeting is adjourned, but people in the room say it's happening.
Funny how Florida always has these "glitches" for their worst bills.
All these people care about is their weird cultural traditions and profiting off of underpaid and overworked laborers. It’s time to remove capitalists from power.
Quick reminder to liberals:
The fastest way to convince Americans to elect right-wing fascists would be a neolib administration bailing out the shareholders & execs at a company literally called SILICON VALLEY Bank, while those who aren’t Silicon Valley millionaires starve 👇
