They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.

People need to understand just how openly genocidal the rhetoric on the far right is getting towards transgender people. They're openly talking about eradicating us and forcefully mass institutionalizing all trans people. These are people with direct ties to the Trump administration.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Donald Trump's unhinged posts over the past 24 hours makes clear that he believes Republicans rule by right and those who engaged in election fraud on his behalf are martyrs. This is why the 14A bars anti-democratic insurrectionists from holding office and Trump should be on trial in Fulton County.
