Incredible news. After immense pressure and threats of protest, Children's Wisconsin has reinstated treatment for at least one trans teen under its care. Several hospitals across the country determined their fear of Trump's illegal EO was more important than their trans patients.

In preparation for todayā€™s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

Hell ya accessibility.

THIS IS IT. The special general elections for Floridaā€™s 1st & 6th Congressional Districts are on APRIL 1, 2025. If we flip these seats, we can STOP Project 2025. No excuses! Mark your calendars! Show up!

Putting together a -very- small stack of books that have been banned (in the U.S.) for a customer

Just another fun-filled day of resisting by existing.

people keep tagging me in fuck around and find out content like I havenā€™t been talking about how pandemics lead to fascism since 2020. The ā€œfind outā€ portion isnā€™t just for everyone who doesnā€™t consider themself a liberalā€”itā€™s for them too. Havenā€™t masked in 4 years? FAAFO.

1. Yesterday, Trump released a broad anti-trans executive order that could have extreme impacts on transgender people's lives if implemented. There has been much discussion of what it actually does. In my latest piece, I go line by line to explain it. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Some people don't want to hear it but there's no silver bullet to address all that we face. These problems and issues have long roots. This is a marathon. Do what you can within your capacity [with others]. Keep focused and pass the baton when it's time.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

The politics of the TikTok ban breaking the brains of a lot of liberals shocked that something could be bipartisan and bad at the same time

Iā€™m so serious about this. Do not increase your time on meta platforms. In fact, over the next 48 hours, give your attention to somewhere else. Donā€™t reward Zuckerberg for this. 1/

Personally, the best way to gauge someone's political alignment is to determine their opinion on libraries without calling it one. An unfettered system of access to resources to use and learn from, with no identification required, based entirely on a system of trust, funded by everyone.

Are they/them pronouns gender-neutral? Should we use them as default? Should we just assume based on gender presentation? I wrote an essay with my thoughts about this recurring discourse, using the lens of the 'conflicting access need' from disability spaces. open.substack.com/pub/jessotho...

Thinking a lot about what a big impact you can have by joining or organizing a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). Be organized. Know your neighbors. Have a plan. Look out for those who are most vulnerable.

Immigration, as means of upholding colonial values and structures, is a horrid ( & wildly expensive) system to navigate. Especially here in the US.

No one mourns the wicked.

I cannot stop thinking about every disabled person who canā€™t evacuate these SoCal fires, whether itā€™s because they physically canā€™t leave or they donā€™t have the resources to. When we say our systems are designed to leave disabled folks behind to die, this is a prime example.

As we witness these heartbreaking scenes from the fires in LA, an important reminder that incarcerated people make up over 30% of Californiaā€™s forest firefighters.

Actually.
