Something ppl outside Florida may not know is that it takes merely the SUSPICION of a child or parent being trans or of that child or parent to be exploring gender-affirming care, for The State to assign police to take a child into foster care (already overburdened & will not be expanded to accommodate more children) or award custody to an abusive parent.
ALSO, if a suspected child or parent isn’t in FL but is kidnapped & brought there, their home state gender protection laws are voided.
My best friend's nickname for me in high school was Crow because I used to love imitating their caw. I still call to #crows if there's nobody around. I hope they understand.

Nazi sympathizing journalist Jeremy Lee Quinn defends doxing a home address from a trans subject of his reporting for LA Magazine. This is extremely dangerous stuff here.

@meredithw I would leave my daughters in the care of a trans-woman over a southern baptist minister. The record makes it pretty clear who the predators are.
He's nor different than any other Republican!
A jury of their peers, mind you.
Congratulations to AG Garland and his Justice Department team. To those critical of Garland's tenure, this is a strong counterargument.
May Tarrio and his counterparts have a long stay in prison. Imagine losing your freedom for Donald Trump, a guy who wouldn’t stop his limo to help you if you were on fire, much less give a single penny in your legal defense.
Jury convicts Enrique Tarrio of the Proud Boys on seditious conspiracy charge-

The Florida legislature just passed a bill allowing the state to kidnap trans children from their parents
Also, Florida now prevents minors from receiving life saving gender-affirming care
SB 254 passed the Florida senate 26-14 and house 83-28
This should horrify everyone.
Reminder: HB 1297 will allow FL to execute medical professionals for “assaulting minors” if they even try to administer care
This is fascism. It must be stopped.

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
