#MayDay is about more than protest. It's about building a multiracial labor movement that's powerful enough to win the dignity, democracy, and justice we all need.

Alysa Liu: “I think it is really important also to notice the faults in our own government. Things are a little rough. There’s so many protests that are going on and I’ve attended. Coming from a family of immigrants, I think immigrants deserve rights”

We haven't gone out into the field & used grant money to support trans creators during COVID. The time has come to find funding as we move into a new direction. Funds are needed atm for basic things. lnkd.in/dwefUNap #transgender #LGBTQIAsBeauty #transisbeautiful #support

Hot tip: If you’re not from Texas, see something bad happening in Texas, and want to tweet something snarky about how we should let Texas secede… Stop typing and go make a donation to a group that’s working to make long-term change in Texas instead.

This is not justice. Its punishing one man for a specific crime. Justice is dismantling the system that allowed and encouraged this Chauvin and many others to take the lives of Black people for no other reason than to indulge their own racism.

I'm holding a lot today. I'm transgender non-binary, and watching the Equality Act hearing. I'm a first-generation Filipinx/Asian-American person, and receiving loving messages in response to the Georgia shooting. I celebrate two years since I stopped drinking alcohol today.

I’ll be watching and probably writing the hearing up *somewhere* though I don’t have an outlet for it yet. If nothing materializes, I’ll put it on my Medium.

Hello! This is a public coming out post. My name is Sophie Labelle (she/they), I'm a comic artist, novelist, illustrator and children's book author. I'd also like to mention that I've been identifying as a non-binary trans woman for several years now.✨You can now keep scrolling!

Irresponsible to just tweet this out without explaining that no 3 year old trans kids are getting surgeries or hormones at all and if you don’t know that’s the case, someone else who knows should be covering this hearing.
Rand Paul is pressing Biden health nominee Dr. Rachel Levine, a trans woman, about "genital mutilation" & whether she backs ender reassignment surgery, hormone therapy for minors: "We should be outraged that someones talking to a three year old about changing their sex!"
