Pride is the day that we remember how it all started. It’s the day we honor all of the courageous trans people who brought the entire community this far. And it’s the day we commit to not step one inch back because #Pride began as the #StonewallRiots. ❤️‍🩹✊🏾🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Trans Rights Readathon @trreadathon.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

The Trans Rights Readathon is right around the corner. We've got some exciting new plans this year, and we're compiling some resources for indie authors. Many of them are still in the works and will be announced publicly throughout March. 🤍💗💙 #TRR26 #transrightsreadathon #indieauthors

Rainbow text over a psychedelic background. At the bottom of the image, are two graphics from artist PocketMilo. In one, a brown-skinned person with purple hair and a pink outfit, smiles while holding a potted houseplant. Opposite, a brown-skinned person with green hair and vitiligo gives a haircut to a light-skinned person with red hair and prominent top surgery scars. Text reads: Is Your Book a Good Fit? The Trans Rights Readathon encourages readers to seek out works by and/or about trans, nonbinary, 2Spirit, and gender non-conforming authors or main characters.

Rainbow text over a psychedelic background. A graphic by artist PocketMilo appears at the bottom of the slide, and depicts two people embracing. Their faces are partially obscured. They are surrounded by lush vines. A trans pride flag is visible on the back of the nearer figure’s coat. Text reads: If So, You Should Know… We heard you last year when you said that you wanted more resources for the event. Which is why...

Rainbow text over a psychedelic background. At the bottom of the page, a graphic by artist PocketMilo shows two light-skinned people lying side-by-side in bed with their legs intertwined. One has visible top surgery scars, is wearing plaid shorts, and has fallen asleep while holding a book. The other wears baggy pants, socks, and a crop top, and is reading a book. Text reads: We’re Planning Something Big! If you’re interested in learning more, send an email with the subject line “Indie Author” to transreadathon@gmail.com, and we’ll forward the details to help you plan ahead.

Burchett: The office is very partisan…

Keilar: So in January 2024, there was a Republican who trusted the CBO so much that they reintroduced a resolution to require the house clerk to read the CBO estimate of any bill. I believe that was you, sir.

Permanent decisions

4 frame comic. Stephie and Frank are on a couch, looking at their phone. Stephie says : Trump wants to ban gender-affirming care for trans people under 19 because we shouldn't make permanent decisions about our bodies at such a young age. Can you check what's the minimum age to join the army? Frank says : It's seventeen in the united states. why? Stephie says : no reason.
