This cannot be swept under the rug. We took a deep dive into the social media activity of the shooter who killed a store owner for displaying a Pride flag – including his accounts that were deleted after he was identified. What we found was disturbing.

One of the most surreal videos of the entire resistance to anti-trans laws this year. Members of the gallery get arrested while shouting “trans lives matter” as Rep. Stevenson delivers a scathing rebuke on the House Floor. “Somebody will have to atone!”

New laws in Florida have many educators facing fear and confusion. In the first weeks of school, teachers were asked to take down stickers showing support for LGBTQ students and, in at least one case, to remove rainbow colored paper from a classroom door.
Students at Grapevine High School have staged a walkout. A few days ago, the Grapevile-Colleyville School District voted to essentially ban trans teachers from the classroom, ban the word transgender, pull all lgbtq+ books, and ban pronouns (figure that one out).

Librarians across my state (Missouri) are reporting patrons coming in with lists of books they want to ban or want to judge whether they are “appropriate”. What all these lists have in common is authors or subjects that do with POC or LGBTQ+. The agenda is crystal clear.

NEW: In July, Facebook and Instagram parent company Meta confirmed that slandering LGBTQ people as “groomers” violates their ban on hateful content. But in the months since, they’re continued to directly profit off paid content promoting the slur: https://t.co/6WrSaFRSmd

The Guardian and the Observer’s editorial pages wave the flag for transphobia. These papers claim to be the voice of progressive views, they are not. They’re not even as progressive on trans rights as former Conservative Prime Minister 🙃

This is a direct assault on all of our liberties, even us who live out of the United Kingdom.
This is a war against us that will kill the most vulnerable and youngest and innocent among us.
