In Lithuania, President Gitanas Nausėda stood in respect as hearses carried the four Americans.
Back in the United States, President Orange was nowhere to be seen when their bodies were repatriated. He had other priorities. Nothing gets in his way when it’s a golfing weekend at one of his courses.
Masked protestors (pride attendees?) holding up a banner which reads, "Hate trans people? Kill yourself!"
This Transgender Day of Visibility brings a complex mix of emotions: a sense of being recognized, but a fear of being easier to target.
Today is Transgender day of visibility and I’d like to quote Mardi Pieronek: “…in the vernacular of today’s conversation, it is our time to tell our stories and dispel the ignorance from this world and take our place in it proudly.”

The New Faces of Power: Trumpian, Muskian, and Truskian
Trumpian = authoritarian populism.
Muskian = tech-bro libertarianism.
Truskian = a fusion of both.
Trumpism, Muskism & Truskism are eroding democracy through disinfo, cults of personality & power grabs. Name it, resist it.

Ray Blanchard coined the term to pathologize something many cis women experience—sexual arousal at their own femininity. But according to Blanchard, if a trans woman experiences it, she’s mentally ill?
The Stonewall Inn and The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative are outraged and appalled by the recent removal of the word 'transgender' from the Stonewall National Monument page on the National Park Service website. This blatant act of erasure not only distorts the truth of our history, but it also dishonors the immense contributions of transgender individuals - especially transgender women of color - who were at the forefront of the Stonewall Riots and the broader fight for LGBTQ+ rights. SIGBI followed by a next arrow

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other
Perfectly captured.
This is wonderful news at a time when it’s easy to be a pessimist! A huge thank you to Egale Canada, Alter Acadie, Chroma NB, and Imprint Youth! Let’s keep pushing for a future where every young person feels safe, affirmed, and free to be themselves. Yay! 🎉
