This Pride, we're honoring the trans people who came before us: visionaries like Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, Lorena Borjas, Cecilia Gentili, Monica Roberts, and Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, alongside the countless trans people whose courage & leadership shaped our movement.

BREAKING: The Louisiana Senate passed a disturbing anti-homeless bill that pushes homeless people into jails, forced treatment, and unpaid labor. Hours earlier, the same lawmakers voted to give themselves $1,000 to cover housing expenses, recognizing housing is too expensive.

This is the intended result of Trump administration policies. They've told federal facilities to ignore incarcerated transgender women's rights under the Prison Rape Elimination Act.

I appreciate the continuing coverage of women/miscarriage/abortion from ProPublica … long after the political headlines may have died down.

Doctors say woman in El Paso ICE detention requires surgery that is being denied.

“It is my medical opinion that Ms. Pedro Francisco will suffer irreparable harm if this treatment is not provided promptly."

OB-GYNs & an emergency physician agreed.

This is still done in prisons across the United States via “Buck vs. Bell” Supreme Court decision

[If/When/How: Lawyering for Reproductive Justice @ifwhenhow]

To stop this, we've got to get these dusty-old laws off the books in EVERY state.

Join us by to repeal these laws and demand dignity for pregnant people: https://t.co/QkmXqbt3Cs

"I was ready to give up because I didn’t think I was ever getting out. Nobody should feel that way.”- Patience

No one should be punished for their miscarriage or stillbirth.

Yet, many have been investigated, traumatized, and jailed for their loss.

Stigma drives this criminalization.

It's what cops and prosecutors lean on when they wield sexist, antiquated statutes and laws to go after someone for how they reacted to their pregnancy loss.

Simply put, they want to police how women should behave.

State-level abortion restrictions are creating substandard medical management of miscarriages, the most common complication in early pregnancy. https://t.co/2LB1j70iJT

Today is the first day of Dhul Hijjah, one of the holiest months of the year in Islam. Today, two shooters attacked the Islamic Center of San Diego, which houses a school for young kids. My heart is with the community as its sense of safety is so cruelly taken away from it. 🤍

[Taleed El-Sabawi, JD, PhD @el_sabawi]

The Islamic Center in San Diego is the one I used to pray in when I lived in San Diego. Hate has no place in our communities or our places of worship. Praying for the safety and healing of everyone affected.
