CEQA exemption for infill housing is about to become law. It is not possible to overstate how important this is, how big a win it is.

From @kitoconnell.com in the archives: “The reality is that gender-affirming medical care for trans youth is not controversial within mainstream medicine.” But that consensus hasn't stopped the New York Times from treating anti-trans organizations as experts on transgender health.

These efforts to manufacture hatred and resentment against trans people are disgusting and if you think they will be mollified by ceding ground on “just sports” or whatever you are kidding yourself. It’s hate and bigotry and fear, the specifics beyond that? They don’t care.

1. After the Skrmetti decision, the New York Times has published 6 articles dancing on the graves of trans youth and spreading disinformation on care. It was cited 7 times in the ruling. Read my latest on what will be a black stain on the NYT for a generation. Subscribe to support my journalism.

The NYT was cited in the Supreme Court ruling used to strip trans people of healthcare. This is EXACTLY WHY the “just asking questions” crowd of centrist edgelord journalists are dangerous. They launder transphobia through faux neutral “debate” and act like it’s intellectual curiosity

The repression of trans people is not, by and large, a grassroots outpouring of hatred from the American people. It's something that's been carefully planted and tended over years by a handful of media people and their pet reporters.

Today I am yet again reminded of the urgent need to make it easier to build homes in California so that vulnerable people can actually afford to live in a state that protects them. What good are our vaunted protections if they come with an exorbitant price tag?

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

“It should be illegal for you to be mean to me and legal for me to kill you” is basically the Republican platform.

These charges won't stick and they aren't intended to stick. But by painting Democratic politicians as violent criminals, they do reinforce a permission structure for things like Melissa Hortman's assassination.

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

We don't really have a free or functioning press if they are required to pretend not to know conclusively that Stephen Miller is an avowed white supremacist

Commuter benefits shape travel habits. New study finds Denverites are: 🔹 195% more likely to drive to work if they get free/subsidized parking 🔹 789% more likely to bike if secure bike parking is offered 🔹 56% more likely to use transit if they get a subsidized pass ascelibrary.org/doi/abs/10.1...

For the past two years some of the largest voices on Twitter, including some elected Republicans, have been playing a fun game called "post a photo of any trans person minding their own business and see how quickly we can ruin their entire life"

Friendly reminder: Renters are real people (and families, and neighbors). Apartments are real homes. Almost all of us are renters at some point in our lives. Choices are good.

Sing it from the rooftops: congestion pricing in NYC is an unambiguous triumph. It is succeeding beyond its backers wildest aspirations & none of the second-order effects people worried about have come to pass. It's a pure win. Celebrate it! Talk about it! For once, let's own the f'ing narrative.

They’re specifically targeting LGBTQ-related health research. Half of the NIH research grants they’ve terminated relate to LGBTQ health. When we say they don’t care if we die, we’re not being dramatic. They truly don’t care. They want us gone.

It was disturbing to be in court today. As I wrote: [I]n an alarming sign for LGBTQ people, it was clear that at least three of the justices believe that describing queer people accurately — acknowledging their equal existence — amounts to taking sides or trying to “influence” children.

morally it is obviously the right thing to do cynically, I think it’s also the right play, because immigration is what’s been propping up Trump’s approval it highlights how his policy there is just as capricious and stupid and fundamentally against American principles as the rest of it
