@ABetterWay2A Thank you for using your platform to educate people about this. It would be rad to hear you do a podcast with some trans community defense people, but it's understandable that so many of them aren't able to be public facing. I wonder if someone like @ErinInTheMorn would come on.
(Falling to my knees, begging, pleading)
Please.
Folks, seriously.
PLEASE.
Do not - and I can’t emphasize this enough - set the state on fire this weekend.
Happy Pride Month!
Over the years, @GOALny has demonstrated unwavering commitment to promoting universal acceptance and inclusion for all members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Their remarkable contributions to this city and the department defines New York's Finest.
This morning, APD raided The Teardown House and arrested three organizers with @ATLSolFund.
The Solidarity Fund provides legal defense and bail support for first amendment protected activities in Atlanta and the surrounding area.
A brother, a son, a father was taken from the Floyd family – with George's murder, they lost a piece of their soul.
We will never forget what happened that day.
We will never forget George Floyd's name.
We will never stop taking action in his honor.
Honestly, the discourse around "kink at pride" and "is polyamory queer" needs to be replaced with "trans people are in danger".
They are valid conversations, but we are living through the most intense attack on LGBTQ folks in a generation and it deserves more attention.
We build starter first aid kits for less than $50, but the level of kit we could build for $300 that a minimally trained person could use is a fantasy. Meanwhile they are making this shit
For $10k we could get 30 community members the best intro first aid kits imaginable. That would be 30 normal people carrying a life saving bag with them daily.
