#DemandingBetter calls for a federal response to HIV to uplift dignity, human rights, wellness of all ppl living with HIV in the US. We know it takes more than biomedical response to ensure we can live an equitable, high quality life. pwn-usa.org/wp-content/uploa…

We are outraged and in mourning for the Black folks who have been unjustly incarcerated while Kyle Rittenhouse is acquitted of all charges. We are in solidarity with Black organizers who’ve fought tirelessly to change a system built on anti-Blackness.

We are grateful for the brilliant leadership of @familiatqlm and echo their message to the Biden admin: immediately release all trans folks, people living with HIV, and people with medical conditions from ICE detention. #EndTransDetention #AbolishICE

Trans feminine folks like Maura Martinez face increased incidence of harm in ICE custody, and deserve the right to seek asylum without being detained. We join @familiatqlm and others in calling on the Biden admin to #EndTransDetention

Twitter (of all places...) reaffirms what many of us know: that there is actually an abundance of supportive cis allies eager to go to bat for trans folks, even as news publications continue to platform bigotry.
