Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.
Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Today, I stand with more than 100 doctors asking @GovTimWalz to end the use of chemical and projectile weapons against the people of MN. Policing is a public health crisis and this must stop now.
