We're in D.C. for the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee's hearing on mental health. We submitted a 32-page report—10 is considered long. Lindsay Church of Minority Vets will be among the speakers, and we are right behind them.

Attending the Joint Hearing for Senate and House Committees on Veterans Affairs today. We'll be speaking up regarding the issues minority servicemembers and veterans are facing, especially transgender servicemembers and veterans.

Talking points for your 50501 protests and how Coloradans can contact their Senators and reps.

When it's midnight and you're faced with having to download information off another government site before it's scrubbed or getting sleep because you're running on fumes.

Spent the afternoon losing my voice by singing in the car, crying while listening to poetry for hours, writing, baking, cooking, eating dessert and drinking tea before dinner—everything is awful, but we are still us and can choose how to spend a day.

Representative Biggs from Arizona introduced HR 7 for women's health care that includes the following language: "...health care for women should also address the needs of men..." and I need everyone to pay attention to the legislation being put forth while Trump does his idiocracy bullshit.

I understand why members of Congress have dropdowns for subjects you're reaching out to them about. But it feels insulting when you reach out to an office you've worked with before regarding anti-trans language in a bill, begging them to vote NO, and after they vote yes, receiving this:
An auto email a week later from Senator Bennett's office not anywhere near the mark on what his constituent reached out to his office about.

Hi Bluesky. Please call and email your representatives regarding the FY2025 NDAA and ask them to vote NO on H.R. 5009 surrounding the removal of gender affirming care for trans youth. If passed, it could take decades to roll back, and more could be at risk next time. #lgbtq #trans #transyouth

This year has been weird, but somehow, my photo with the President and Dr. Biden from the Veterans Day Breakfast turned out less awkward than I expected.

Today, 2 LGBTQ+ veterans made Q'mmunity House their home as a huge step in their healing and growth. It was such an honor to give our first residents their keys. A labor of love is an understatement. And I made cookies. www..minorityvets.org/qhouse

I have sat in her office advocating for sexual assault survivors & reproductive rights with trans women alongside me, who, btw, utilized the women's restrooms in House & Senate office buildings w no issues. A bigot will shake your hand, listen with false empathy, and talk shit as soon as you leave.
