Oh yeah it also grants the courts authority to seize children if one or both parents seeks transition care or if another child in the family is receiving it/might receive it, because it tacks language about transition care onto domestic violence legislation.

How long until being an LGBT+ parent will be grounds for having children removed

I can’t believe I’m writing this.

A new FL bill will tell courts to SEIZE TRANS CHILDREN AWAY from their supportive parents if those parents provide or are “at risk” of providing them life-saving care.

Parents would be charged with felonies + thrown in prison.

This is fascist.

Do you know how I know that this isn't actually about "the children"? BECAUSE THE PEOPLE PUSHING THIS STORY HAVE TOLD NYT THAT IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT ABOUT 'THE CHILDREN' BUT ABOUT ENDING TRANS PEOPLE'S EXISTENCE ENTIRELY. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/25/us/politics/transgender-laws-republicans.html
G.O.P. State Lawmakers Push a Growing Wave of Anti-Transgender Bills

Four states could ban transition care into young adulthood. Lawmakers in several others want to restrict drag shows in ways that could affect transgender performers broadly. It’s part of a long-term plan.

❤️‍🔥 6 incarcerated writers are looking to connect with outside pen pals - move into building meaningful relationships with folks inside + disrupt state-sanctioned alienation

Prison Solidarity Project - Letter Writing

We are a growing community connected to incarcerated people across the country (primarily in Illinois), who are looking to build relationships with outside pen pals. If you are interested in connecting with a pen pal, we ask that you commit to upholding key abolitionist principles in your writing and in developing relationships with folks on the inside: (1) We ask that outside folks who want to write to commit to consistent and transparent communication - it doesn’t mean you have to write every week or even every other week but being honest about how much you can communicate is important. Communication with people on the outside is often a lifeline for folks inside and we ought to take that seriously. Simultaneously, it's important to clearly communicate your own boundaries and know when you need to exit a relationship. If writing doesn’t work out for any reason please communicate that you will not be continuing to write. (2) Being in solidarity with people on the inside requires working hard to create equality in our relationships, especially when so much is working against that. We ask that people resist googling their pen pal or searching their criminal history for that reason. Let people tell you their story on their own time and on their own terms. (3) We ask that people writing commit to an ever sharpening analysis of the white supremacy, anti-Blackness, ableism, homophobia, transmisogyny and xenophobia, understanding how these forms of oppression uphold the prison industrial complex and criminalization of those we are in relationships with. For people outside of the so-called "United States", we are unfortunately unable to connect you with a pen pal because of prison email service and mailing limitations. We deeply appreciate your solidarity with incarcerated people in the US and encourage you to look for and connect with local networks! Lastly, if you are interested in joining a signal chat with other people connected to folks at the same facility, please include your phone number in the form below.

Here’s the tea: queer people are under attack in TN. Go to a drag show while it’s still legal. Donate to queer legal/bail funds. Advocate for trans healthcare. And remember: Joy is a form of Resistance. #tennessee #dragqueen #transgender #queer

A man impersonating an NYPD cop robbed a man of $400 in a Queens TD Bank.

If he was an actual cop, he could've still robbed the man & just called it "civil asset forfeiture." https://pix11.com/news/local-news/queens/man-claiming-to-be-police-robbed-a-man-at-atm-in-queens-nypd/
