Transgender Reps Zooey Zephyr and SJ Howell delivered powerful speeches on the Montana House floor on Thursday. Republicans defected en masse to join them in voting against anti-trans bills.
This feels too good to be true.
Yeah, they’re too comfortable being on the wrong side of history. I hope that it is legitimate, but feels like a trap.
public speaking works.
I don’t know what to tell you, get out there and start talking to people, start talking with your representatives, make a case for what you believe in.
Stop yapping and moping about shit online, go do some real work.
Literally all we need is strong public speakers.
Even if you’re not a good public speaker there are plenty of organizations that have people who are and you can join and help out with lots of other things. DSA is my personal choice as it’s pretty active and strong in my area but just find an organization like that and find a way you can help push for things you believe in.
Oh what do you know? It’s almost as if representation in government has a purpose! Not so easy to target people when they’re not just a faceless boogeyman now is it?
Love to see it, we need more of this everywhere.
In your daily, unending cavalcade of shit, here is one story that isn’t absolutely horrific, i guess.
treasure it.
it should be inspiration, a model to base the rest of your life on.
meanwhile gavin newsom is giving interviews to charlie kirk just to throw trans people under the bridge.
