On this Transgender Day of Visibility, Michelle and I want every trans person in America—and around the world—to know that we see you and we stand with you. Every LGBTQIA+ person deserves to feel safe and protected.
(2/2) explicit parental consent.
How exactly am I being protected? How exactly am I expected to learn in an environment that won’t even provide me with the simplest of human decencies??
I am a CHILD. I’m only 16. I go to school every day in order to learn, make friends and thrive.
Kentucky just made it illegal for me to use the bathroom in school. They are forcibly taking away my healthcare. I can no longer speak to a school counselor without (1/2)
@Drea_got_rage Those WHITE ADJACENT Latinos always let the rest of us down. Period. I said it. I’ll say it again … their lack of acceptance hurts our whole community.
@Drea_got_rage Most Cubans down there are so racist and wanting to remain “white” adjacent that it’s disheartening. Latinos in Florida are a different breed than on the west coast. You have 2 extremes down there. Same could be said for the Mexicans in Texas though… its embarrassing 🫠
Three days ago, a 15-yr old boy had an anxiety attack in the school bathroom to hide from his bullies and struggling grades.
His “guidance” counselor pulled him into a room alone and told him to power thru and stop saying he was suicidal for attention even tho he was crying so hard the capillaries in his face were broken. Fun fact: the boy has never been in trouble nor has said this before.
The boy is now in the hospital an hour away from his family due to a real attempt to leave this world.
Because the school would not listen all year nor accommodate his mother’s requests for help and a 504 plan, he felt he had no hope and could not face another day.
The boy is my son. And I’m so angry at the GC in his school I’m frozen. They’re now complying to help with classes and gave him a new counselor.
These new accommodations are not enough. Our story isn’t rare. Schools need to wake up and make some real changes.
The opportunity now is for all of us to learn how to shout down and say no to MAGA, to stop accepting it as a normal manifestation of our politics, to forcefully denounce the GOP's descent into something dangerous, disgraceful, and deeply un-American.

The word that everyone should using as much as we all can in the coming days is cowardice.
Republicans have become cowards. Watching kids get shot, our democracy attacked, the planet warming, a serial criminal and insurrectionist leading their party and they do nothing.
“Donald Trump could be behind bars instead of running to President.”
Ari Melber just said that on MSNBC.
Great job everyone on finally catching up to what I’ve been saying all along 😁
So the MFer is indicted in NY.
Don’t even start on how it woulda been better for the feds to go first or GA to go first or blah because blah is more important.
He’ll be indicted everywhere. It’ll be a great big sundae of criminality, with conspiracy to defraud the US on top.
