You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.
i will vote for dems who say this stuff and act on this stuff! i will give them money! i will tell my friends to do the same! it is what i want from government more than anything else right now!

a digital illustration in the style of a relief print depicting a black cat in a defensive pose holding a torn and tattered transgender pride flag in its mouth as it looks directly towards the viewer. the background is purple with some specks of blue and pink showing through, and behind the cat is a black midground resembling grass or flames. the top right corner features a box with a caption reading "T.D.O.V."

Trans People Belong in View Kumi Yokoyama (he/they)
For Trans Day of Visibility we’re highlighting the accomplishments of famous athletes. Their accomplishments aon and off the field of play deserve to be celebrated. They are competitors, they are our teammates, and they are strong. We hope that these visible athletes remind us that sports and athleticism are important to the whole trans community. Their fight, grit, and determination enrich us all. Today we say Trans Athletes Belong.
The Spirit Squadron and Rose Room Collective are sharing the story of Kumi Yokoyama, a dynamic Japanese forward known for his creativity, technical precision, and attacking flair. Kumi made 12 appearance in two seasons with the Washington Spirit and was part of the 2021 Championship team. Beyond their on-field impact, Yokoyama has also been an influential figure off the pitch. In June 2021, Kumi came out as a transgender man in an interview with fellow Nadeshiko striker Yuki Nagasato. “[Canadian midfielder Quinn] wore a [sweatshirt] that said ‘Protect Trans Kids’ before a game, and I realized that’s what taking action looks like,” Kumi said in an interview with the Japanese Times. “To be able to accept people you have no relationship with, that’s the kind of person I’d like to become and I hope we can create that society.” Kumi is still playing professionally in the Nadeshiko League with Okayama Yunogo Belle.
This Trans Day of Visibility, we’re celebrating Kumi Yokoyama, a champion and history-maker in more ways than one. Thank you, Kumi, for your time with the Spirit and for living your truth! Trans people belong everywhere, on and off the pitch.
it’s genuinely crazy anything ever gets done, i’m so tired
Castor Semenya: "I have carried this weight. So have other women of colour who deserved better from sport. Reintroducing genetic screening is not progress — it is walking backwards. Women’s sport does not need this. It needs to be abuse-free... This is just exclusion with a new name."
the IOC already tried using SRY testing at the 1996 Olympics and then abandoned it before the 2000 Olympics because led to a bunch of "false positives" among cis female athletes who had no idea they were born with various intersex conditions

Truly impressive how the Dems will fall into oblivion and sell out the people who depend on them for the sake of pleasing the other party that doesn’t hesitate to consolidate power and terrorize anyone who doesn’t align with them or fit into their reductive idea of who is a worthwhile human.
people making their inability to read emails my problem is so frustrating, we’re addressing a problem that doesn’t exist!! and you didn’t answer my question!
Hey, I know you're suffering because we waged a pointless, massively expensive, forever war that I promised would never happen if you elected us, and we did it without the slightest bit of preparation, which is compounding the pain, but hey, at least a bunch of foreigners are suffering more!
Solidarity with the survivors.
Solidarity with Dolores Huerta.
Solidarity with the @ufw.bsky.social movement.
Solidarity with the workers and organizers who labor for lifetimes in relative obscurity.
Movements are more important than their leaders.
Dolores Huerta's statement on Cesar Chavez: “I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for... I can no longer stay silent and must share my own experiences"
can it stop snowing on my birthday? tia

Wrote about the US government following the tradition of dehumanizing their enemies as barbarians to justify their violence but also how it sells its constant violence to Americans by convincing Americans that they’re the only real human beings

Even more than usual I hope he fuckin dies
The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive
The actual reason for the illegal assault on Iran by the US and Israel is the simple fact that they feel entitled to engage in genocide, imperialism, and apartheid with impunity.
They cannot countenance any authentic threat to that project, which is what Iran—not international law—represents.
With other teams finding a way to celebrate the Black community, nothing is not a choice, @washingtonspirit.com.
MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now.
They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.
GO DONATE.

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment.
If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.
I need the Spirit to understand you can’t spend the season selling I 💛 DC shirts and then not celebrate the black community who have been the most influential group on our city’s culture
this is one of the best hockey games I've ever seen but I keep wondering: are any of these men's hockey players married or related to women that I've heard of? what is the US women's hockey team up to right now
you deserve to get shoved in a locker
