Incredible news. Zooey Zephyr, my fiancée, was re-elected to the Montana House of Representatives, getting 83% of the vote. Many of you will remember her for standing up for trans people in Montana, and then getting censured and kicked off the House floor. I'm so proud of her.

It is an honor to have been re-elected to the Montana House of Representatives. And I promise to do as I have always done: fight for my constituents, stand up against those who seek to break democracy, and be a bulwark against the rising tide of American fascism.
Y’all. Senator Cavanaugh. Is. Still. Going. Republicans in Nebraska are going to let the senate stay shut down because they just can’t go without hurting trans kids. Senator Cavanaugh’s 3 week filibuster has been INSPIRATIONAL. You are a hero, Senator Cavanaugh.
The way that Bud Light and Target are reacting to the far right angry at including LGBTQ+ people is EXACTLY why many of us have railed against corporate pride. If your advocacy consists merely of rainbows that disappear at the first gust of fascist wind, it amounts to net harm.
Roe v Wade is dead. It is no coincidence that we are watching abortion rights fall the same year the most anti-trans/lgbt laws have been passed in history. These are two sides of the same coin in the same fight and the same people are fighting with the same justifications.

Welcome to Kansas City where they have ALL GENDER bathrooms…I hate this.
Readers added context
There are also single gender restrooms available. Nobody is forced to use the all-gender restroom, it is merely an option. flykc.com/terminal-maps
I keep finding out people aren’t aware.. The Matrix is a trans allegory written by two closeted trans women. “You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.”
Greg Abbot has officially directed Family and Protective Services to begin investigating all trans children in Texas and prosecuting their parents as child abusers. He has also instructed all teachers, doctors, and caregivers to begin reporting any trans students they see.

Y’all I can’t overstate how big a victory we just won in Ohio for trans people was. We got a boardroom full of Republican school officials to vote AGAINST moms for Liberty anti trans policies. The activists speeches objectively swayed things. The anti-trans group was stunned.
This is massive. Gov Tim Walz has just made Minnesota a trans refugee state with an EO! He will decline extradition requests. He will refuse subpoenas. No resource can be used to enforce bans. They will be the first state to upgrade to dark blue, safest states in my map.

Today, I took executive action to protect access to gender-affirming health care in Minnesota.   My message is clear: Here in Minnesota, our LGBTQ+ neighbors will not be denied or punished for seeking life-affirming and lifesaving medical care.
