On #TDOR, we say their names because all of our trans brothers and sisters lost to violence and hatred are missed and are loved. Our pursuit of justice and equality continues in their names. (1/3)

They tried to repeal it through Congress. They failed over 60 times.

They tried lawsuits to the Supreme Court. They failed twice.

They tried to undermine it administratively. They failed again.
They found one judge to agree, and now Medicaid expansion could be gone, preexisting condition protections could be wiped out, prices skyrocket and millions lose insurance.

And they call that success.
Remember the millions of voices they ignore, the election they forget and the countless lies they told over this campaign. Remember every one of them.

Weaponizing critical worker benefits to gain contract concessions has become a too common and toxic corporate practice. National Grid chose to lock out their workers, at great expense to the impacted employees, their families, and our entire Commonwealth. (1/4)
While that choice is theirs to make, they should be held financially accountable for its impact. (2/4)
I applaud the leadership of @SpeakerDeLeo and @RepTonyCabral in stepping up for Massachusetts workers and making it clear their government has their back. I encourage the Senate and Governor Baker to follow suit. (3/4)

You want to talk about facts, let’s do it. Over 90% of student survivors don’t report sexual assault. Nearly 1 in 4 female students are sexually assaulted as undergrads. By backing away from these protections, you are sending a clear message to survivors. (1/4)
But it doesn’t stop there. 59% of trans students have been denied access to the bathroom consistent with their identity. 3 out of 4 trans students feel unsafe at school. This Admin abandoned those students. #BeBest (2/4)
It keeps going. 110,000 student borrowers defrauded by Corinthian College are still saddled by debt because the Education Department placed the burden on them. This Admin chooses for profit colleges over students. (3/4)

More often than not, the Supreme Court has been an avenue to uphold discrimination. This ruling on trans rights is a Plessy vs Ferguson for our generation, and we should oppose it as such. In the interim I stand with my trans brothers and sisters without reservation.
Trans rights are human rights. The right believes they can win this legal and cultural war because of the left's general apathy on #transrights. Trans rights are not a frivolity; they are central to a coalition of the marginalized. History will judge us by our actions now.
This is a concerted war against a tiny minority of the population that deserves our protection, our respect, and our fiercest defense. Make no mistake -- it's an attempt to divide and conquer that we have to fight. Protect our #trans brothers and sisters and foil the plot.

right wingers are coming after trans folk with millions of dollars, and so many cis lgb folks are just turning their fucking noses up at us and refuse to support us.

like they ain't gonna come after you again once they're done with us.
if you can't stand up for the whole rainbow, then get that fucking flag out of your bio
how many more trans kids have to grow up in an abusive home?

how many more black trans women have to be murdered?

Hi guys, some of you need to dissent/ decline wrt the #manels youve been put on, at the @skochgroup event
- @SkochSameer pls check.
- Guys on manels include @nitin_gadkari @ManishTewari @ashwani_mahajan @iam_anandv @prasanna_s @prasanto @nixxin @AnupamSaraph @pavanduggal + others
2. Does this reflect lack of #merit or prevalence of #sexism that @skochgroup has found only 4 women of worth, out of 46 speakers?

- The 4 women: @ShamikaRavi @rachnakhaira @navikakumar, Yamini Aiyar

- How are the 42 men feeling?
cc @SkochSameer @SreenivasanJain @ManishTewari
3. Today began with @skochgroup declaring that only 4 women were found #meritorious, to speak on tech.
But 42 men were worthy.
They celebrated this #inequality, with a full page ad in Indian Express.

Being a white sex worker I suspect is a little like playing in the sandbox of oppressed minority. I can always dust myself off and leave unlike my POC brothers and sisters and my trans brothers and sisters.
And I’d like if I can to use that privilege for good rather than evil. Because I’ve had the benefit of being white, and receiving an excellent education and living on 3 continents growing up. I’ve had more privilege than most white people to be perfectly honest.
I remember when I turned 10 (these were the good old days when kids could visit a pilot in the cock pit) and we flew somewhere and I received an award from United Airlines for circumnavigating the globe twice before my 10th birthday.

A message to #All #Americans:

Brothers & sisters of this #Nation that from its very inception has stood for freedom in stark defiance of oppression. #America is a country who's people serve as an inspiration to all that self determination is a cause worth fighting & dying for.
I implore you for a moment to set aside #political Furies and recognize the pedigree from which our collective-character has been sculpted. We are not fearful of any conflict if it obstructs our ever lasting pursuit of #Liberty and #justice for all. We are not perfect --
But we are not ashamed. #Americans are a people who's pride and self-worth are not granted by any king or offered by dictatorship but are inherently derived from within the individual human spirit. #WETHEPEOPLE are rulers, this is our land, our home, our destiny.
