- Reposted by tracyShame on Planned Parenthood of Arizona for dropping their trans patients because of threats from Trump. What happens when they make you stop providing abortions? Birth control? PReP? Gonna roll over then too? These orgs complying are cowardly.

- Reposted by tracyThe Columbus City School District just outed every trans kid whose parents allowed them to change their name in the school’s database. Without notice, CCS switched from preferred names to legal names in class rosters, Google Forms, emails & much more. Outed trans kids are being harassed.
- Reposted by tracyPlease add this to your activism list: Submit a public comment from the link below to tell the HHS that gender affirming healthcare is evidence-based and lifesaving care. This new policy will effectively BAN HRT as it will no longer be allowed to be an "Essential Health Benefit" 1/3
- The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far. Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million) www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...
- Reposted by tracyI've been thinking about how to explain the challenge of living with ME/CFS and created this cartoon visualization. Imagine the life of someone without ME is a rainbow of activities that each take a certain amount of energy. ME limits your energy, and thereby the vibrancy of your life.

- Reposted by tracyReminder for Elon: The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) protects “concerted activity,” giving you the right to discuss working conditions, pay, and workplace concerns with others. This includes venting with co-workers about unfair treatment, pay, or safety issues, even on social media.
- 23 lawsuits and counting. Just Security, a project of the Reiss Center on Law and Security at New York University School of Law, is tracking lawsuits against the current administration for their gross abuses of power and malfeasance. Keep them coming! www.justsecurity.org/107087/track...

- Reposted by tracyi 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

- Reposted by tracyTrump's new executive orders aim to dismantle DEI programs and accessibility programs. Companies, schools, and institutions must resist the fear and confusion of these orders by doubling down on our commitment to equal opportunity for everyone, regardless of their background.
- Reposted by tracyAs of this moment, the entire federal government is in violation of the Civil Rights Act and the 14th Amendment —not b/c the government has ended DEIA programs, but b/c the government is discriminating against employees and new hires based on the color of their skin. My latest in @thenation.com

- Reposted by tracyI want everyone to understand that rescission of 1965 antidiscrimination orders is literally resegregation and for reporters in the room to press them accordingly also the gall of revoking the *Equal Employment Opportunity* directive. man affirmatively said 'I want unequal employment opportunities'
