The idea that Tr@*p's betrayal of Ukraine should bump trans civil rights to a lower place on some progressive "priority list" is incredibly insidious and destructive. To go along with this is to give in to an evil strategy. There's never been a more important time than now to support trans rights.

On Election Day, I saw a guy (in Arlington freaking Massachusetts) waving a Trump flag with the words: Make Liberals Cry Again. This is the point. We have 2 stay focused. Things like cancelling holidays, arts funding, the random executive orders— what’s going to actually hurt ppl’s lives NOW?

If Donald Trump had it his way and ended birthright citizenship, his own Secretary of State would not have been a U.S. citizen. The insanity of it all is on full display.

MURKOWSKI comes out against Hegseth for DOD, first GOP opponent. "The leader of the Department of Defense must demonstrate and model the standards of behavior and character we expect of all servicemembers, and Mr. Hegseth’s nomination to the role poses significant concerns that I cannot overlook."

Let’s just stop buying American products. We did it with South Africa. I’ve got zero interest in propping up an authoritarian regime. We’ve got plenty of countries we can trade with.

I asked my student how their week was going, and they answered, “Well, as of yesterday, I officially don’t exist, according to the government.” We are one day into this administration, and already this sweet, NB 8th grader is feeling scared.

We were asked to help with these two abandoned bunnies last week who were left at a house. Tomorrow morning he is having an emergency neuter surgery. It is risky and complicated and we need all the good vibes headed to Hubert. His health is not good, but we are hoping for the very best outcome.

Reposting this with right image! Our cover leader points to the dismaying contrast between France’s absolute political mess and its ability to get so much else right as Notre Dame shows. Deadlock and polarised politics are not unique to 🇫🇷, but trouble much of Europe www.economist.com/leaders/2024...
