We've been doing weekly protests, every Sunday - next week will be our ninth week straight. 'Peaceful protests against fascism, basically.

We could be out there, seven days a week, with a different theme, every day - and still not have enough time to cover everything going on; locally and nationally. Globally.

but, 'stop project 2025; hands off trans rights!!; why are we trusting billionaires; no kings in America, this is the gist.

I KNEW they would pass this hateful, despicable garbage, but now that they actually have, I'm at a bit of a loss for words at the moment. This just passed in WV today.

I am making signs tonight to incorporate this into tomorrow's demonstration, and the 19th and 20th next weekend (i'd love to see people's artwork and signs, if you have any

Here a few of mine

I guess I'm just writing to say, wherever you are, I see you, and I love you, and if you can't be out there to protest that's OK, it's not safe for everybody and we recognize that. Especially those of us stuck in these very conservative red states.

I'm heartbroken, but I know you all are as well, but it gives us a beautiful strength as well. United in rage at injustice, but love and support for each other.

I just found this community, 🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ 💕 and I'm so glad to have found you.

How do you make sense of your queerness while still being Muslim?

I’m really struggling with this.

It seems that there’s rampant homophobia and misogyny, and it makes me second guess.

I know that a lot like Jews, a lot of Islam is a legal system, like we have halacha, Muslims have sharia.

My question is about mahr in queer Islamic marriages - do both spouses give mahr? Or do the spouses just decide which one of them should give it?

I am friends with a 48 Palestinian lesbian couple, but neither of them are religious, so I don't really want to make things awkward by asking them.
