.@JamesTalarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people

I have achieved a good life in the social role of a man - exceptional really as I’ve never claimed to be anything other than a trans man I have fought not just for the rights of TP but also for women in my work You can never understand the person I am But you cld try empathy

If the federal government can disappear a legal US permanent resident without reason or warrant, then they can disappear US citizens too. Anyone - left, right, or center - who has highlighted the importance of constitutional rights + free speech should be sounding the alarm now.

Knowledge is power. Truth is liberation. Misinformation can’t stop a community rooted in truth and resilience. By learning how to spot and stop the spread of false narratives, we protect each other and build a future where trans people thrive. #CareIsOurLegact

IMPORTANT: As a U.S. citizen, you are under NO OBLIGATION to comply with ICE agents, UNLESS they have a warrant. AND that warrant must be signed by a federal judge.

Thank you, Jay, for making us Trans men living with HIV visible from the main stage. ❤️ #AIDS2024
“#Trans people, and trans men specifically, have been left out of #HIV programming for far too long. I am asking you to ask yourselves, why? Why have trans men been left so far behind in the global HIV response?” - Jay Mulucha 🇺🇬 #AIDS2024
