For Pride, I’m remembering Lucy Hicks Anderson, trans woman who transitioned as a kid in the late 1800s. She was an incredible socialite and cook, so much so that when she was arrested and a banker got her out of jail because they had a party and she was the cook! We have always been here.

this @adambonica.bsky.social piece deserves to be read beside the yeoman work that @donmoyn.bsky.social and @pamherd.bsky.social have been doing. The dismantling of administrative expertise is one of those stories that is so big that pro journalists with beats find it hard to focus on or explain .

Horrifying article about our progressing police state. Disgusting attempt to intimidate people out of their rights Also: a great example here of why good advice ("don't talk to police") should not be treated as the 11th commandment

The town's tumultuous history since Sept, when Trump attacked Charleroi Haitians after his dogs and cats bit, shows the effects of his racial politics. Trump doesn't just tap racial aggression. He manufactures it. Now, he's targeting Haitians again. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/feat...

Deporting a gay man to Russia is beyond horrific, and yet this admin is happy to do it. And the verbal abuse he describes is abhorrent; and not new. Guards at detention centers, jails, and prisons get away with crap like this all the time. It’s appalling, it’s not new under Trump, just worse now.

FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME: the thing driving the country insane is our media ecosystem. The right isn't wielding it as a tool so much as it's being led by it, so much so that the only way they know how to communicate with their own president is by reshaping the world to look like television

"I feel devastated for the younger generation – it’s taking all the creative jobs." Yup. Just as we creatives warned. There was never any doubt, just as there's no doubt giant corporations will illegally plunder our work, and hide behind their legion of lawyers.

The Trump administration has quietly spread Palantir’s technology through U.S. agencies, paving the way to easily compile data on Americans. The company has received more than $113 million in federal government spending since President Trump took office. nyti.ms/4dJfR0o

💰Money Quote "According to the logic of the Washington press corps, it’s normal to blame Democrats for the choices of Republicans. The thinking goes that Trump didn’t win. Biden handed him victory."

We have a new WP out that looks at school masking during the COVID pandemic. Using the removal of CDC school masking guidance as an exogenous shock to district and state policies & data on district masking nationwide, we find mandate removals contributed to at least 9% of US COVID deaths in 2022.

every article about politics in every mainstream publication is flat out lying to you if it does not emphasize that our government has been taken over by freaks and lunatics

Truly, I adore the hyperincredulity of other liberals being like, “actually I absolutely foresaw this, but I guess you, a feminist online during the last decade, simply don’t know what it’s like to be dismissed as hyperbolic.”

1. HRC has launched a more defiant protest tone for Pride this year. In their campaign announced today, "These Colors Don't Run," one feature went rather viral... the image of an Eagle with progress pride flag colors, painted nails, falsies, and a harness. Subscribe to support our journalism.

This is who put USAID “in a wood chipper,” slashed jobs across the govt to leave our health services, our national parks, our education system, Social Security & Medicaid in shambles. Oh, and he and his minions have all your private data. Well done, Speaker Johnson. Folks it’s all about 2026.

Doom Quote Du Jour "Still, none of the Republicans interviewed for this story believe DOGE is going anywhere anytime soon. 'DOGE is popular,' says a source close to the White House. 'Even if Elon, personally, is less so.' (Polls show that DOGE is not popular with the public.)"

"Surveillance of women seeking abortions has long been a problem, & with the 2022 Dobbs Supreme Court decision allowing states to criminalize abortion, experts have warned that patients, the people who help them, & their doctors are at a much higher risk of surveillance and criminal prosecution."

As I broke down for the Washington Post, Democrats keep unfairly shortchanging talented women and minority candidates by saying the public doesn't want to vote for them (and not just presidentially). I have heard donors fret about finding white dudes to run. This is a terrible thought for 2026.

Misogyny & racism likely will always be endemic, but that doesn't mean we have to cater to these toxic impulses rather than curb them and shame bigots who seek validation for flaunting them.
