“As more revelations come out in the Epstein files and as the chaos gets unleashed in the world by this current administration, it feels like they continue to stamp the ‘trans hate’ button harder and harder.” - @erininthemorning.com
1. Pressure is intensifying from Trump to bypass the filibuster over anti-trans and voter disenfranchisement provisions.
Cornyn, one of the biggest historical Republican supporters of the filibuster, has now flipped on it.
Thune still says he doesn't have the votes to do so.

Florida's SB 1134: A Dire Threat to LGBTQ+ Rights and Democracy! (Bad News ⚠)
"SB 1134 poses a significant erosion to LGBTQ+ rights in Florida, allowing removal of elected officials for promoting queer initiatives."
1. Attacks on LGBTQ+ people have always been tied with the erosion of democracy.
Now, a bill has just been passed in Florida that lets DeSantis remove elected officials for promoting pride/LGBTQ+ people in their official capacity.
No court hearing necessary.

Cruz’s commerce committee finally holding a hearing on S230, doesn’t really seem good for the Sunset 230 pushers though, considering 2/3 people he invited are free speech types likely to be in favor.

While its good Cruz is still against repealing Section 230, we now have a date on a general committee hearing on March 18th 2026.
Call your reps and call the Senate CST committee. We CANNOT let them push ANY repeal.

Three years since we lost a sister in our community to suicide. She was tricked by the people who were hired by her bigoted powerful parents to force her to de-transition and move back to her home country where it's highly dangerous to exist as a queer person while weaponizing her illegal status.
Remembering Eden Knight: A Heartbreaking Journey! (TW: Transphobia, human trafficking, conversion therapy, and su!c!de ⚠)
"Marking three years since Eden Knight's tragic death, we reflect on the urgent need for trans rights and awareness within our communities."
Remember, these bills are supported by a group of sexually-repressed, far-right hateful bigots that want to terminate our freedom to write queer and NSFW fiction stories and visual art (as well as freedom of expression in general). So don't stop calling your lawmakers like hell everyday! #SaveSpeech
The politicians pushing these bills know that we're onto them and keep spreading lies that we're "groomers" and "pedophiles", which is false. They're using children to cover the fact that they don't want us to have any fun on the internet. Make sure you not only call, but inform others! #SaveSpeech
