Friendly reminder that nonbinary and trans folx exist and are just as capable of being victimized by #FGM as cis-women.
Friendly reminder that I'm also nonbinary and was victimized by #FGM.
Please leave transphobia out of activism. Human rights belong to everyone.

The Supreme Court has removed our rights to privacy and bodily autonomy. Those of us with the privilege of time, skills, resources or power must work to safely aid those without. I share in the rage and frustration, but we cannot and will not give up on each other.

[GOOD @good]

Two presidents who lost the popular vote have selected five Supreme Court Justices.

Clarence Thomas has already floated reconsidering banning contraception, LGBT+ sex, and same-sex marriage.

We must reform the Supreme Court.

Now is not a time for moderation.

[Ayanna Pressley @AyannaPressley]

This is a matter of life & death.

The Supreme Court has once again obstructed the will of the people and we must use every tool available to protect our reproductive rights & freedom.

If we go back to the founding, Clarence Thomas doesn’t get an opinion.

Unless someone is an immigration lawyer, disregard their uninformed bullshit opinions on immigration law matters

I know Martin Luther King said "the arc of the moral universe is long, but bends towards justice," but how long are we talking about exactly?

@TheRajaKumari As an Indian Muslim living in America and feeling hated by both countries, it really is music like this that reminds me that I'm not alone. There's so many of us out in the world, unable to connect to our country of birth AND the country we live in. Bless you
