In the mid-1900s, thousands of government workers were fired or forced to resign solely for being queer.
This era is known as the Lavender Scare — and we see history repeating itself under the Trump administration.

NEW from @ms.now + @themarshallproject.org: ICE has detained *over 500 babies and toddlers* during Trump's second term. www.ms.now/news/trump-i...
Hey folks --
Here's my lecture on what the contingencies of the Revolution say to us now -- from Anchorage, Alaska (and the great folks at the Alaska Historical Society).
As a World Cup host, the U.S. shouldn't be flippantly barring officials from entering the country to do their jobs.
It's terribly backward.
It's also counterproductive.
Global sports competitions should improve international exchange and relations, not the reverse.
I had watched this before, but I just re-watched because this is SO VERY IMPORTANT.
Please watch @hcrichardson.bsky.social and @kim.senate.gov

An effort to push queer people out of public life during the Red Scare takes familiar shape under the Trump administration today.
