“I would be blind not to call it out. It is my duty to call it out.” More of this, please. Incredible news out of the courts today as Judge Young calls out this administration’s discrimination against our vulnerable communities and orders the restoration of NIH grants.

These photos are terrific. #NoKings I particularly enjoyed the #Noem #Gnome one (altho I do like #GestapoBarbie a lot still too). #ChingaTuMAGA also good.

Perhaps the best sign I saw at "No Kings but Yaaas Queen!" event in Boston today: "One Big Beautiful Bill is my drag name." #pride #nokings #boston @50501movement.bsky.social @50501supporters.bsky.social @aclu.org

Yesterday I joined @maindivisible.bsky.social to say: No kings. No dictators. No going back. Together we march for trans rights, lgbtq+ joy, and the protection of democracy. Pride is protest—and Massachusetts has always and will continue to lead the fight.

My grandmother was a young pregnant Jewish woman alone on a train in Poland during WWII when a German soldier told her to get off at the next stop because there wouldn't be any soldiers waiting at the station. She survived because, in that moment, a soldier chose the right thing over obeying orders.

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country. We will hold this administration accountable.

Trump singles out California for the same reason he singled out Harvard. Take out the biggest, highest profile, most resourced targets first, and the lesser targets will fall in line, figuring they can't win. Note that Harvard has not caved. The outcome is not inevitable.

When I heard the mom of a trans girl say the night her daughter came out to her was the first time she'd ever seen her child happy, I knew it was a story I needed to share. These are the stories the public isn't hearing. An honor to get to report on 3 family's journeys for @teenvogue.com.

I signed the Bethesda Declaration and you should too. If not because it's the right thing to do, then because Jay Bhattacharya is a menace to American health and science and he is destroying NIH. open.substack.com/pub/rasmusse...

A few minutes into the newest episode of 'Meet a Scientologist' at Scientology’s TV network, which features the church’s wealthiest donor, Trish Duggan, she reveals something about herself that really threw us for a loop. She says she writes for WHO now?

I'm watching the local news and they cover that horrible racist shit in Lynnfield. And the second interview was with a young woman whose name was--and I checked this because I couldn't believe it--Lily White. She got the answer right, but I admit I panicked.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.
