@WhizPill To be clear, maxyn and manman are on Facebook. And our trans non-binary gender justice org.
It’s just me personally who doesn’t use Facebook! Just personally.
demand for tor bridges will probably be going up and the network only has ~2500. bridges all eventually get blocked so it's important that people keep running them. see instructions at https://t.co/obtKEyofcV

@TeamYouTube a quick web search should make it clear that this is a partisan hit job. When an artist & activist is targeted by hate groups, deplatforming the victim is the opposite of the right answer.
Multiple therapists have been shocked when told that my husband and I aren’t comfortable holding hands/being affectionate in public. It’s so alienating that a MH professional doesn’t get that even somewhere progressive this happens and is still a threat queer people navigate.
It seems to me that movement orgs spent the pandemic supporting communities & expanding life-affirming infrastructures such as housing. In contrast, LA's electeds spent the pandemic scheming on how to enact a brutal regime of utter banishment targeting unhoused neighbors.
Lack of accountability measures leads to abuse of power. #SB2 sets up a fair, independent and multilayered police decertification process to remove dangerous cops from our streets and protect community safety. @CASenCaballero vote YES to pass SB2.
Guess how many doors we dropped lit to this weekend??

Ever notice how, when we complain that the police don’t actually live here (ie, they just take our taxes home to rich suburbs), the police chiefs talk about diversity? Why so identitarian? You can pay anyone to leave their conscience at the door. 🤷🏾
In @MayorOfLA's proposed budget, we found out that the LAPD is trying to be more "diverse".
They are in need of more African American, Asian/Pacific Islander, and female police officers!
Hey, you might even get featured on a social media post showing how diverse the LAPD is! 📸
"This budget is more aggressive and progressive than any other I've proposed as mayor. And it sets LA ahead of nearly every other city in putting dollars behind our ideals." - @MayorOfLA
When it comes to budgets, always compare it to the total city budget for perspective. 💰🚔
Here is a summary of the past 5 years of City of LA lawsuit payouts.
LAPD takes the top spot making up 33% of the city's lawsuits. Taxpayers have paid $214M on LAPD lawsuits in the past 5 years. 🚔💰
@MayorOfLA is budgeting $87M in total city lawsuits in for next fiscal year.
Thank you to all who donated so far! 🥳
