🏳️‍⚧️ WHEN WE FIGHT, WE WIN! 🏳️‍⚧️ CHLA reversed its decision to pause initiating hormonal therapy for transgender youth. Gender affirming care is lifesaving care. We must continue to fight back, stay organized, and to demand institutions not give into Trumps fascist executive orders.

Feels like academia - especially in the humanities - is rapidly being murdered globally.

So, to my shame as an adult, I was once (while a teenager) a dues paying member of Mensa. And I went to a few meetings. And the smartest guy there was a janitor who worked at a college to get free classes for fun. Honestly a bit inspirational to me. Almost Zen Buddhist in his outlook on life.

It’s 2026, and the three highest grossing movies are about the dark side of egg smuggling.

Following a loud public outcry about job cuts at the National Parks Service — and a relentless media campaign from outdoors enthusiasts across the country — it looks like the Trump administration has blinked. via @jackdolan.bsky.social

Oh happy day! 😀 ProPublica Opens Application for Five New Local Partners for Its 50 State Initiative

First clip from my interview with former NFL player @chriswarcraft.bsky.social Chris Kluwe about why he chose to be arrested for civil disobedience at his right wing city council meeting this week in protest of MAGA. More clips to come before we release the whole interview. Chris is fiire.

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

If you're trying to figure out what to do right now, my advice is to just pick a thing that you think might be useful in some way, however small, and do it. Doing a thing leads you to doing another, bigger thing, and prepares you for that next thing.

NPR host Adrian Ma's girlfriend, Kiah Duggins, was aboard the American Airlines flight that crashed into the Potomac River. He spoke to NPR about that night and about his late girlfriend.

Why don’t we know more about postpartum depression in the criminal legal system? Women are the fastest-growing prison population, yet crucial issues related to pregnancy are swept under the rug. Uzma Rentia details the issues faced by incarcerated expectant mothers' overlooked repro health needs.

Happy Black History Month

Gonna need more non-disabled people to see stuff like this and understand that ableism is also one of the integral -isms the right is devoted to, so it should be jettisoned whenever and in whomever you encounter it

Listen: I talked with Jewel Rodgers about how she became Nebraska’s first Black state poet, growing up there, and she gives a taste of her poetry at the end!

JD Vance is so nauseatingly unlikeable that he’s literally dragging down the AfD’s approval rating

Meet the disabled vets, cancer researchers, and nuclear techs fired by the worlds richest man

Rhode Island bookstore Wakefield Books is currently being harassed for having a banned books display, please give them some love: bookshop.org/shop/wakefie...

And so it continues. Iowa state legislature is trying to shove through a bill that strips protections from librarians & makes them criminally liable for allowing "obscene" books on the shelves. The cause here is rightwingers are enraged about Maia Kobabe's GN "Gender Queer." Librarians defend it.

“Absolutely heartbroken… I am a father, loving husband, and dedicated civil servant.” While Kevin O’Leary says “cut cut cut cut more” — as if 🇺🇸 is a business (it isn’t) — these are the people whose lives are being ruined by Musk/Trump to pave the runway for greedy tax cuts.

This is why there’s been so much silence as Black history and Black books are being purged, and integration efforts dismantled. Many Democrats think the purges are valid and necessary. “Candidly, the attack on over-the-top wokeism was a valid attack."

so special ed programs are getting gutted because their internal documentation used the term "transition" when talking about helping disabled kids enter the working world. they're literally striking at that word wherever they see it.

"The richest man alive, an actual Nazi and a fucking sicko, who was not elected, is firing tens of thousands of people to further enrich himself and the president he has usurped all to make Americans' lives worse" has to be among the biggest layups of all time for messaging. And yet.

New Yorkers: tomorrow is the last day to register to vote in this year's mayoral primary — don’t count on others to get rid of the corrupt & compromised collaborator Eric Adams, who's mayor because 79% of eligible NYers failed to turn out last time. Do your part, dammit: vote.nyc/page/registe...

“When queer kids are involved, suddenly my professionalism, training, and dedication count for nothing.” Take a look at my moving conversation with a doctor who treats trans kids and the realities that go into that care:

Total triumph of the scammers imo. You're a sucker if you're not tricking people out of their money full time. Why am I working a job instead of pretending I invented intelligent robots or pretending I'm auditing the government

Nothing makes me happier than Spain becoming the world's best performing economy under a socialist-led coalition government and with a nation that understands how refugees benefit the labor force. Viva España! www.bbc.com/news/article...

Ahead of the deadline for voters to pick a party affiliation in time to vote in June’s primary, mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has been racing to get his supporters registered as Democrats — and one group opposed to him has been doing the same thing.

“The walkout was organized in part by an eighth-grade student who is not yet 14 years old, she and her mother said in a joint phone interview…The student said that she and other students decided to act after seeing how Trump’s executive orders would target diversity events.” Tiny badasses

🧵 THREAD: In the second Trump administration, we’re devoting a significant part of our staff to detailing dramatic changes in the role of the federal government in the lives of Americans. Here are some of the issues we’re watching — and how you can inform our work.

The most fascistic section of law enforcement begins its rather predictable evolution into the role of secret police

in america giant bodies of water can change their names, but trans people can’t

Boggles my mind that FETTERMAN has said he's voting against RFK Jr. while GILLIBRAND hasn't. Please consider calling Gillibrand today about this if you have a minute, fellow New Yorkers. www.gillibrand.senate.gov/contact/
