Legacy media, it's hard to take you seriously when you tell us that maga screwing over trans folks, women, immigrants & BIPOC is a distraction, but you then boost this shit. Also: stop calling them astronauts. They're rich assholes who bought tickets. No space Nazis. No, SPACE Nazis.

So much this. Thank you. Also, they need to stop calling these assholes crew and/or astronauts. If they're crew, then I'm a pilot every time I fly United.

Meanwhile, trans people cannot get visas to enter the US, and anyone can be challenged about their gender based on "visual clues." That's some might fine Nazi work there, Lou.

And Ethnic Studies will be anti-white, and Gender Studies will be anti-men, and fill in the blank. We’re being erased, in real time, one marginalized group at a time. Stand up to this shit and stop complying, god damn it.

If you are trans and this has happened to you, contact the ACLU and join the suit. If you are an ally, lift up your voice. Amplify our stories, and stand with us. The government doesn't give a shit about us, but they listen to cis people. Especially white cis men.

I'm one of the lucky ones. I received my renewal yesterday, with the correct legal name and gender. I don't know if that's because I slipped through in the chaos, or someone wouldn't comply. And while I am safe, for now, know this: outting trans people will get us killed.

The salt in the wound is that the policy is utterly capricious. People with similar histories applying on the same day are getting opposite results. The State Department if in chaos. Meanwhile, trans folks, who have done nothing wrong, wait weeks to find out if they can travel safely. Or at all.

Even more bizarrely, people who are *renewing* passports after, in some cases, *decades* with aligned docs are having their gender makers changed. This is not just dangerous, but a violation of due process and the 14th A. The good news is that the ACLU has filed suit on behalf of 1500+ trans folks

Meg Pickett 🏳️‍⚧️🪐🛼🧀🖖🏳️‍⚧️ @deviled-meg.bsky.social · 19/02/2025
There are now plenty of reports of people having their supporting documents, and their passports, being confiscated. Trans folks are being denied changing markers on new applications, even if every single other doc--BC, DL, SSA--has been changed. Even if they've lived years as their true selves.

Apropos of nothing, you can use this link to, say, file a discrimination complaint against Trump University. Feel free to describe in detail the small size of the former guy's junk. I think this is what he would want us to do.

Pro tip for would-be allies: if you write a statement to support trans people, and don't have the guts to mention trans people, then you didn't write a statement to support trans people.

Gender Affirming Care will be deemed dangerous, is my guess. Trans folks need to start thinking long term and get a year of HRT and alternative sources right now.

This is the most reckless of the nominations, and only one self-interested republican voted against. McConnell being upset because he had polio is not empathy. It's hypocrisy. He bought this freak show, and now he fucking owns it.

I have not been especially political, as a physicist, in my classroom before--though I have called out bullshit. But I am for sure now, because fuck these fascists. Einstein, Bohr, Meitner, Born, Franck, Frisch, Szilard, Schroedinger, Wigner, von Neumann, Fermi. All left because of fascists.
