Joining LilRedNote has been one of my best decisions this month. I've spent the week sharing culture with gracious Chinese citizens who offered to teach me Mandarin while I teach them English. It’s a reminder: governments may clash, but people connect. #xiaohongshu #rednote #littleredbook

1. The first major federal fight over transgender people post-election is here. A federal provision has been added into the NDAA that would pull certain healthcare from transgender servicemembers' families. If Democrats stay unified, it could be blocked. Subscribe to support my journalism.

one thing you never have to do and should never waste your energy on doing is defending people in positions of power. their power and your support should be conditional, never a given. none of them deserve your defense.
