@magsterling STFU

[Mikah Rector-Brooks @mikahrectorb]

No person should risk their safety to have a name and gender marker that fits them. That’s why I’m working with the MI Legislature to do something about it. Read more here ➡️ https://t.co/y4xnn0hzvD

[Jon King @JonKingNews]

@mikahrectorb who recently wrote a column for The Detroit Free Press about their experience, called the process “barbaric” and wasn’t sure they wanted to change their name and gender markers, even though deep down “I knew that I needed to.” https://t.co/EQuRyTijGK

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

Gun violence is the leading cause of death for teens, and young people are among those most harmed by bans on abortion care.

It’s time for us to take action to protect our bodies and lives when the courts refuse to do so.

[Mikah Rector-Brooks @mikahrectorb]

AKA transphobes desperate grab at policing our bodies was proven unconstitutional 💅 this is a MAJOR win for trans rights and plants hope for the dozens of states with similar laws that ban gender-affirming care

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: An Arkansas judge struck down the state’s law banning medical treatments for minors seeking gender transitions, the nation's first such measure. https://t.co/uv2nME7Nkc

[Mikah Rector-Brooks @mikahrectorb]

too real

[Mikah Rector-Brooks @mikahrectorb]

@emilyrubio4prez and this is why i tattled on u to noah

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

Seven years ago, 49 lives were stolen + 53 were injured in a Gay Orlando nightclub. We must always call this horrific act of violence what it is: an inhumane hate crime. May the victims of Pulse heal, and may we continue to make space + support the Queer community

[Mikah Rector-Brooks @mikahrectorb]

A toddler killed themself with an unsecured firearm in the town I grew up. THIS is why i’m upset that the MI Legislature voted against immediate effect of safe storage, pushing it to April 2024. Each day until then, we gamble with more children’s lives.

I know this isn’t the most important aspect of this image but I can’t get over the crystal chandelier, marble floor + cheap shower rod/curtain combo.

To our young leaders: It is never too early to make a difference.
