The nyt is eager to declare victory over trans ppl. Bullshit. Here’s another take: “The notion that the trans rights movement was wrong to push this court challenge is both a departure from facts and the story the Christian-right legal movement would prefer be told” newrepublic.com/article/1972...

Frog walked into the house. It was dark. All the shutters were closed. “Toad, where are you?” called Frog. “Go away,” said the voice from a corner of the room.

I genuinely cannot believe how many Democrats are spending their energy on destroying Mamdani when the GOP is trying to turn ICE into a full on secret police by drastically raising their budget

i genuinely dont know what other industry has failed as speculatively as journalism has failed at meeting this moment we are talking about whether zohran is going to do a sharia law while gop has been trying to pass a bill to strip medicaid to pay for concentration camps like

hi, cis folks! the GOP put the all-ages trans medicaid ban back in the budget, despite it being struck. they did it to force dems to challenge it on the floor. if you've been paying attention, you know dems need to hear you want them to actually stand up to the GOP. contact info at reps.fyi 🧵

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander: "I don't think the line for the [Democratic] party right now is between progressives and moderates; I think it's between fighters and folders."

“We can try to climb this mountain,” said Frog. “That should tell us if we are brave.”

Both things can be true. “This is who we always were” *and* it is much worse for many, many peoples here and around the world right now.

A 64-year-old Iranian woman, who has lived in the US for 47 years, was detained by agents Sunday morning while gardening. A witness says plainclothes officers in unmarked vehicles cuffed her. She was then taken to a Mississippi jail www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

There is no “but Hamas”—no history, ideology, or nuance that can justify the gleeful, gamified slaughter of starving children. No nation on earth has “the right” to exist. But human beings have the right to live in safety.

This is the rhetoric of a country about to do a genocide

Shabbat Shalom to everyone who recognizes that the safety, freedom & thriving of Jews and Muslims are bound up together — in Israel & Palestine, across the five boroughs, and in many other beloved places.

So as a human raised by holocaust survivors, I would like to know what happened to the moral and legal injunction after the attempted genocide of our own people that "just following orders" is not a defense of war crimes? This is a shonde.

“I am sorry,” said Frog. “That hat is much too big for you. I will give you something else.” “No,” said Toad. “This hat is your present to me. I like it. I will wear it the way it is.”

This is amazing! www.washingtonblade.com/2025/06/25/i...

“It takes a lot to pull one over on New Yorkers, and when we looked around, the city described in Cuomo attack ads simply did not exist. We recognize that the city’s problems come mostly from the people above, and not the ones sitting next to us on the subway.”

Said without the barest hint of irony

I’m reminded of the NYTimes role in making sure that Jews couldn’t get into this country during World War II. That I didn’t remind myself of that history every day of my adult life up until they started bashing trans people is shame on me. But lesson learned. They aren’t reliable narrators.

I *am* alarmed by rising antisemitism--not "on the left" or on the right, but in the air, everywhere. Which is *why* NYT inaccurately describing Mamdani as "anti-Israel" in a news article upsets me. We Jews have real problems. Mamdani, who opposes Israeli Right's idea of Israel, isn't one of them.

People born on U.S. military bases overseas being stripped of their citizenship and deported... Jermaine Thomas was born on a U.S. base in Germany where his dad was deployed in 1986. Last week he was deported to Jamaica Now Thomas has no citizenship, according to court documents

we really don't need to see every racist thing said about Mamdani

Last week, a 55-year-old Muslim woman was violently attacked on the subway by a man who asked her “are you Muslim?” before assaulting her. Today, we joined w our friends at the Arab American Association of NY and Malikah in solidarity against Islamophobic hate violence & hate violence of all kinds.

And he’s dreamy.

I guess you could say the people who thought Andrew Cuomo ran a better campaign than Zohran Mamdani were sequestered in echo chambers and out of touch with what people offline wanted out of a candidate

Love to see it.

Conservatives are having totally sane, level-headed, not-at-all-offensive responses to Mamdani's stunning primary upset: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Huh wow turns out being a socialist is good and being a rapist is bad, who knew
