It's only day 5 and we're already in ciaos

What more can be said? It’s only Day 5 of the Trump Regime, yet the damage is clear. His actions have already proven that his promise of being a “Dictator on Day 1” wasn’t an empty threat. He’s rolled back protections for the most vulnerable—seniors and disabled people—by removing medication caps, pardoned January 6th rioters, and revoked the Equal Opportunity Executive Order, undermining decades of progress. His dangerous moves continue with attacks on basic freedoms and dignity, including the creation of an executive order declaring only two genders, ignoring the complexity of biology and human diversity. But the truth is, we’ve always been used as pawns in a political game. This isn’t just about the LGBTQIA+ community; it’s about all marginalized groups being manipulated for power. While fear and division are fostered, anger is the only response that matters now. Yet, within these dark hours, there is hope. Each of you is a lamppost, and now is the time to shine. No matter your iden...

🚨 OUTRAGE IN OKLAHOMA 🚨

  Oklahoma House’s decision to police a single women’s Capitol bathroom is sexist and outrageous An empty women's bathroom at the Oklahoma State Capitol is pictured. (Photo by Janelle Stecklein/Oklahoma Voice) By JANELLE STECKLEIN, Oklahoma Voice The bathroom police have arrived at the Oklahoma state Capitol, and our Republican lawmakers plan to lead the charge of deciding who’s woman enough to pee. It’s yet another state police attacking the rights of transgender people, but they’ve added more targets: children. Now, hold on. Before you poo-poo the idea, the male-dominated House wants the public to know that legislators only plan to police usage in one particular bathroom — the one that’s designated for use by their female colleagues. Yes, for some reason those we’ve elected to serve in our 60th House Legislature are obsessed with who is entering and exiting that single women’s bathroom as well as apparently what might be going on inside. They’re so interested they spent over 15 m...

  I Got Rid of Facebook and Have No Regrets: My Thoughts On The New Meta Guidelines By JACINDA HALL, Independent Writer As we all know, the new year started last month, and Meta co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that he would end third-party fact-checking on his platforms and switch to a community notes model similar to what Elon Musk did for Twitter. And yes, I still call it Twitter because “X” is a dumb name for a social platform and I’ve always known the website as “Twitter.” With these new rules, Meta is now allowing users on their platforms to insult and dehumanize members of the LGBTQ community and women. Not long after these changes were made, Meta decided to  withdraw their DEI program  and disband their DEI team. These changes were made ahead of a second Trump administration. Users on Meta platforms are now allowed to call members of the  LGBTQ community  “mentally ill” and/or “freaks” and the company is also allowing users to call  wome...
