@Courtzilla Exactly, he is very clearly going to be three by the time we show up, and is eligible to be vaccinated at this site! All the rest feels like some dumb administrative red tape.

[protect trans kids 🏳️‍⚧️❤️ @MrsMunnWheeler]

@Courtzilla Oh that’s a good point. He’s already in their system but I’m sure they’d be able to update the mistake once we are there in person.

@Courtzilla I am now irritated that their system won’t let me schedule an appointment because kiddo’s 3rd bday isn’t until this weekend. The appointment will be after his birthday!

I am honored to be a board member of Resolve New England. Infertility wreaked havoc on our lives & becoming parents during a pandemic has been tough. We are excited to bring kiddo to his first Footsteps for Family Building! Your support would mean a lot. https://t.co/6nWDR2bfUx

@ChrisMurphyCT Spoken like someone whose civil rights are never bargaining chips or even brought into conversations about compromise.

If they demand you compromise these issues for economic bipartisanship… grow a spine and learn to say “non-negotiable.”

Those “social issues” are our LIVES.

[Gillian Branstetter @GBBranstetter]

The context for this is Rs are currently attempting to hijack the appropriations process to pass further restriction on abortion and riders defunding trans people's health care (what Murphy dismisses as "culture issues") and are counting on Dems cowardice to make it happen.

@remembrancermx I feel this in my fucking soul. What a ridiculous thing to say to someone when you don’t know their fertility history (or ever, but especially then.)

[Heartland Signal @HeartlandSignal]

At Moms for Liberty's Philadelphia event, North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R) says dictators like Hitler, Stalin and Mao are being taken out of context and promotes reading their writings.

"...It is time for us to get back and start reading some of those quotes."

One of the most wild revelations coming out of the backlash over the anti-trans and anti-gay ad released by the DeSantis team is that the Gays Against Groomers org is basically a Ron DeSantis astroturf organization.

Confirming what we all thought all along.

[Southern Equality @SouthernEqual]

Good news in North Carolina, where @NC_Governor Cooper has done the right thing by vetoing 3 anti-LGBTQ+ attacks, including an anti-trans student sports bill, a curriculum censorship bill, and a gender-affirming care ban. Full statement with @equalitync: https://t.co/56OqS1R0Wg

Imagine genuinely believing the entire history of the civil rights movement was essentially that one Kylie Jenner commercial where she handed a Pepsi to a cop and a dance party broke out.

1 yr ago this went viral. Now in CT. Born & raised in TX, now a political refugee. Still a Texan hoping the adults can fix this so I can go home. Ech of us w 1 suitcase 4 clothes and 1 bin for sentimental things. A @gofundme is what helped us move & get furniture & start over 🧵

[Amanda Marcotte @AmandaMarcotte]

Morning! You're probably heard that SCOTUS's attack on LGBTQ rights involved a fake case. It's way worse than you imagine, however.

It's also not the first time that Neil Gorsuch has ruled for the Christian right in a fake case.

[Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com on Bsky @ErinInTheMorn]

LGBTQ+ Republican operatives have expressed dismay at being targeted by Ron DeSantis' campaign after "one of the worst anti-LGBTQ+ ads in history."

Many of the accounts had previously supported DeSantis and his policies.

@anonymouse728 I feel this like it happened to me. Because it does every single time we visit with them (most recently over the weekend.) It’s exhausting!

@anonymouse728 New England. Bonkers that these people are just out there being the way they are. 🙃
