We’re done with X. The rise in hate speech, bot attacks, and disinformation has made the platform increasingly hostile — especially for the communities we serve. Like many, we’re ending active posting here. But don’t fret: We’re on MANY other platforms — so be sure to follow us!

After an #earthquake, be ready for aftershocks over several days or weeks. Listen to local radio and TV programs for reliable emergency information and watch out for official emergency alerts. #ListosCalifornia

Let’s be absolutely clear: Transgender people have always existed—and no administration, no law, no lie, and no crusade of hate will erase them.

If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available:

• Call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

• Call [phone] for Trans Lifeline (TGI individuals).

• Call [phone] for the Trevor Hotline (LGBTQ+ people 24 and under).

[Equality California @eqca]

Suicide prevention demands investment, not abandonment. LGBTQ+ youth face heightened risks—and in moments of crisis, access to affirming, immediate support can be life-saving.

[Equality California @eqca]

Per our friends at @TrevorProject:

• Over 1.8 million LGBTQ+ youth seriously consider suicide each year.

• The current LGBTQ+ youth hotline has supported more than 1.2 million callers.

• After the last inauguration, Trevor’s crisis services saw spikes in demand—up to 46%

[Equality California @eqca]

Shame on @SecKennedy and @HHSGov for plans to defund a critical suicide prevention hotline for LGBTQ+ youth—an already vulnerable population currently under attack by the Trump Administration. https://t.co/3uy7nS3DKM
