#JazzJennings responds to Tr*ump’s #executiveorder #erasing #trans & #nonbinary #people: “My #identity is real”
Jennings just posted a #defiant #message to #socialmedia in the wake of #convictedfelon #DonaldTramp’s return to the White House.

Here’s an idea, tell people about the bad shit Trump is doing, right now. Pushing Trump to -18 approval is the #Democrats’ #job. Their entire job. In fact, I’m not sure that anything else they do over the next year even matters.
