El Sayed: "When it comes to trans rights, this is the right to get the health care that you need...It’s the right not to be discriminated against by your government because of who you are. Because what tends to happen is they come for theirs, then they come for yours"

Our movement is going back to Congress to deliver for St. Louis. But we’ve been in this fight long before we ever went to DC. On August 4th, we’ll go back, and we’ll continue to fight for everyday people, the people closest to the pain, and those who have been left behind by politics as usual.

everyone to Tyler Lepley right now:

You running that street meat!!!

it’s Friday. make sure you let go and shake your bum a little bit ‘cause Monday is always fast approaching.

there will be ruptures in relationships, but betrayal trauma can impact a person’s mental health. like, either love them or leave them alone.

Since switching to this app, my posts are definitely reaching more Latinsky and Blacksky accounts. I love it!

I am stunned to hear of the passing of the fierce, brilliant and principled scholar activist Johanna Fernandez. Johanna's scholarship will endure. She was a gem and the world is worse for her no longer being here. Rest in power, comrade.

Life is so short and so precious.

same girl. 🦋

this city has been preparing for ICE for a while. i recommend that they leave now ‘cause people are fired up.

besides, i already know the world is on fire. i don’t need someone on a plane reminding me about us being in our last days when i’m living it and trying to do something about it (daily!)

i’m not sorry about this: if i get on a plane, no, i don’t want to hear you preach the gospel. it’s a communal space and i’m tryna get to my destination not listen to you tell me i’m a heathen. the audacity of you to hold passengers hostage ‘cause you feeling preachy.

let’s normalize using person-centered language, especially as it pertains to addiction. people are not addicts, they are people struggling with an addiction or a person with a substance use disorder.

i am so obsessed with Hammer & Hope that i became a paying member. beautiful content and insightful, powerful storytelling. please support their work!

Hammer and Hope@hammerandhope.bsky.social · last mo.

The eleventh issue of Hammer & Hope is now live! We are besieged by a ruling class focused on maintaining white power. They represent one tradition in the United States. But there is another, found in 250 years of resistance, rebellion, and refusal. One that continues today — because it must.

i need men to know that EVERY woman i know and don’t know has stories (yes, plural) about a man trying to fight his way back into her life.

and while we are on the topic, if this administration comes for our platanos, i will resort to violence.

Bottom line: Patriarchy and misogyny are bad for EVERYONE. Nobody wins

In Issue No. 11, @hadasthier.bsky.social asked more than two dozen organizers in cities around the country this question: What lessons can be learned from how the resistance in Minnesota and beyond came together? hammerandhope.org/article/ice-...

Inside the Nationwide Resistance to the ICE Invasions

The mass popular opposition to ICE “surges” led to a sea change in public opinion. Now organizers are asking: What’s next?
