i don’t think it’s hyperbolic to say that the way dwyane wade has shown up for his daughter is gonna save lives. his pride in her and the way he demonstrates it is the definition of love in action and a model for parenthood. salute.

200 students walked out of class at an Alabama high school after they were reportedly told their student-led Black History Month program could not reference slavery or the civil rights movement "because one of our administrators felt uncomfortable"

Gov Bill Lee's rejection of $8.3 million in CDC HIV funds was motivated, at least in part, by right-wing media stars Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro stoking anti-LGBTQ sentiment in Tennessee, my investigation for @NBCNews finds.

We are filing a lawsuit to win the right to fund abortions. We won’t stand by while extremist lawmakers work to roll back our rights - we’re standing up to protect the right to free speech, and association and to contribute to causes we believe in.

BREAKING: Today, abortion funds and a Texas doctor have filed a suit against AG Ken Paxton and a collection of DAs arguing that enforcing abortion bans would violate the right to travel & the right to free speech.

Texas is struggling to retain social workers. The enforcement of child abuse provisions against parents of trans teens has been cited as one of the largest contributing factors.
These workers know that the parents of trans youth are loving people.
Abbott's policies must stop!

Today we had Kansas vote down abortion restrictions. The city of Atlanta created an abortion fund. San Antonio passed the GRACE Act.
🗣abortion restrictions are unpopular everywhere, and that includes red states & the SOUTH. Do not write us off, we’re in this till we win this🗣

We partnered with @awnnetwork_ and @nwlc to release this statement about abortion rights and reproductive freedom-issues that are tied deeply to long, ongoing histories/legacies of eugenics, settler colonialism, enslavement, white supremacy, and ableism.

On the last day of legal abortion in Mississippi, the clinic escorts at the Pink House put these signs on the privacy fence before they leave for the afternoon.
My 1st tweet! Another Pride month our community is working to summon celebration + joy amidst ongoing grief + violence in many forms. While we mobilize around legislative advocacy, this article is a grounding reminder that true community investment is our hope, our future.
As LGBTQ+ Pride Month begins, the state of LGBTQ+ rights is in crisis.
In this op-ed, ACLU lawyer and trans justice advocate @chasestrangio reflects on this precarious moment and points us to a future focused on collective action. trib.al/oMCRo5i
