Trump just straight-out claiming that trans people don't legitimately exist. Says he wants a bill "criminalizing sex changes on children and forever ending the lie that any child is trapped in their own body. This is a big lie."

#JustinTrudeau today asked if the American people are OK with the @donaldjtrump-maga.bsky.social’s tariffs and their economic/geopolitical ramifications. I am vehemently opposed, bracing myself for the damage that this trade war is already causing. And, I let my electeds know. @fetterman.senate.gov

PA Residents: Please call your state rep. and oppose Robert Leadbeter’s plans to introduce a bill that makes it a third degree felony to allow a minor to attend anything with a drag queen. He is trying to erase queer people by hindering pride festivals, library drag story-hours, and more.

Trying to call @fetterman.senate.gov ‘s office, but I keep getting immediately disconnected. If there is a chance tagging his office in this post will help me reach a human, or at least an answering machine, thought I’d try.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
