We are literally being erased [View all]

Removing "queer" and "transgender" from the Stonewall memorial is erasure of one of the most consequential events in our society.

Black history is a reminder of the amazing hope, perserverance, and patriotism in American History.

Immigrants and slaves built this country. Poor laborers of all diversities have died building this country.

Women literally gave birth to this country.

I watched a "right to life" rally recently and Vance said " we're going to make sure the word abortion is a term people will no longer even remember" (or close to that)

Removing us from history is denying our very existence. They don't think we are worthy of life.

They will try to rewrite our truth, just like they did to the socialist worker's movement. They made "red neck" and "socialist" contemptuous terms.

I truly believe we are living through a modern eugenics movement by the rich and powerful.

Stay strong out there and live your truth. Show them we are humans too and we deserve to exist.
