We bombed Iran without congressional approval and I still have chores and work and kids in sports and supper to make. Living through autocracy and another possible forever war while living day to day is wild.

"And now, in the latest of a string of appalling actions, a sitting U.S. senator has been assaulted and detained in the state he honorably serves solely because he tried to do his job as a public servant. The good faith experiment is clearly over." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/the-good-f...

Wearing a mask is not “living in fear”, it’s adapting to reality. Covid changed things. It’s a multi system vascular virus that spreads through the air. Its killed & disabled millions. A well fitted respirator is one of the best ways to live your life while safeguarding long term health.

More than two years ago, Utah Republicans commissioned a study on gender-affirming care for youth. It just came back, and the conclusion is unambiguous: full recommendation in support of gender-affirming care. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I think there are lot of well-meaning non-trans people who think gender-affirming care is a luxury or aspirational thing, like dental veneers or nose jobs. "Sure, it'd be nice if trans folks had this care but they don't need it, do they?" Yes. It's literally lifesaving. It's suicide prevention.

The state of Utah voted to ban pride flags so Salt Lake City Council decided to make official city flags that incorporate the progress pride, Juneteenth, and transgender flags so they can fly them without breaking state law

@npr.org for every minute spent talking to a non-autistic person about autistic people's needs, you should be giving at least 2x that amount to actually autistic people— & not just in written stories, but on-air. Apply said rubric to any other group under attack right now for their lived realities.

The fact that they’re tracking autism and not the bird flu automatically tells you they’re operating on eugenics and not actually wanting people to be healthy. They want you sick, disabled, or dead.

Oh, so they decided to go after the rich white suburban districts? “The administration has not offered a detailed definition of D.E.I. But it has argued that programs that separate students by race in order to provide targeted support are a form of illegal segregation.”

"But if religious public schools — or even, as St. Isidore requests, religious schools funded and controlled by the state, which are newly classified as “private” — can exist, they risk crowding out traditional schools that offer a secular education." See "What are the stakes?" at the end.

In the 1950s and 60s, there were some Northern college athletics programs that refused to play against teams or in tournaments where racial segregation was enforced. In 2025, college teams can refuse to play against programs that discriminate against trans athletes. Same principle.

So disappointed by all the leftist takes on 47’s press conference today that he was saying the crash was caused by women and POC. He said more explicit and horribly ableist things and that’s being ignored.

When we're talking about groups, terms like BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ etc are great. But when we are talking about individuals, specificity is better. Are they "a BIPOC" or are they Black? Are they LGBTQIA or are they trans? If you know how they identify, use those identifiers specifically.

This is horrifying. It is a real danger to trans children and non-binary and non-conforming children and anyone who doesn't fit cartoonish notions of gender appearance and representation. And black girls and women will be particularly vulnerable to this. If you've got time help shut this form down.

Billionnaires stole your living. Not immigrants. Not minorities. Not people who follow a different religion. Billionnaires. Noone needs a billion to live. Billionnaires could easily give you the money you lack and not notice the loss. They do not. They never will.

To set the stage for what's about to happen at SCOTUS at 10:00am, the case is called US v. Skrmetti. It involves a Tennessee law that bans gender affirming care to trans minors, mainly things like hormone blockers.

The best place for me to be in the days after the election was the statewide conference of school committee members-- every last one of whom was committed to continuing the work and keeping kids safe. A favorite refrain: more teachers need to run for school committees.
