The website shows a seeker the closest clinics to them, offers information on parental consent laws for minors seeking abortion, and points toward abortion funds that can help pay for care.

Tesla lost enough value today that it could have fully funded USAID for a year.

The Washington Post and LA Times editorial pages have gone full MAGA, MSNBC has purged all of its anti-Trump anchors, and Twitter is owned by a literal Nazi. Here's why liberal media bias is still a problem.

I want to make it clear that no executive order can change federal law and every executive order trump has signed has expressly disclaimed the intent to. The screenshot is from the DEI EO. That’s before you get to courts actually blocking big parts of it. And yet the overcompliance is legion.

At the core of transphobia is the belief that men are inherently superior to women. It's the reason fascists and evangelical fundamentalists embrace it so wholeheartedly.

The funniest part of this era is the every five minute uncovering that one of the white nationalists is racist.

Would you please consider reposting this? The Department of Education needs to hear from as many people as possible that it is not acceptable in the year of our Lord 2025 to offer only two gender options. Thank you. Love, Julie/Mommy of a non-binary college student

I keep seeing this. Guys, their literal job is to figure out what to do. They are not helpless even if they are not the majority. I really hope we can stop treating some of the most powerful people in the world as helpless and without sentience.

I am into this energy. These guys are wired and make stupid looking and ineffective technology.

Women couldn’t have their own credit until 1974. Marital rape became illegal nationwide in 1994. We are ONE generation into women having a CHANCE at life & it’s proved so intolerable America would rather end itself than allow such a thing to continue.

When unelected billionaires run our government and pickpocket us in order to make themselves richer, we protest at their businesses, since that's all they care about 🪧✊🏻🇺🇸 www.michiganpublic.org/2025-02-15/n...

In front of Lurie children’s hospital in Chicago, hundreds of people are showing up to defend access to gender-affirming care for trans youth!! ❤️❤️❤️

The Oregon Trail generation speaks

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

If you haven’t been watching Unrivaled, why not? It’s so good and I cannot wait to watch the one on one tournament

saying "go birds" but just rooting for birds in general, hope they're having fun and not catching that flu

Also if you hire people, hire trans people. This is important. Put trans people on in all the ways. Make sure you are seen publicly supporting them in every way you can.

Could listen to this clip on repeat

A question I’d really like to see reporters start asking members of Congress—of *both* parties: If the Trump administration starts openly defying court orders, what (if anything) are you going to do about it?

HOW ARE YOU SO BAD AT THIS WHY ARE YOU USING THE LANGUAGE HE USED FOR A FAKE PROBLEM TO DESCRIBE THIS ACTUAL ONE CHRIST GOD RETIRE BITCH

Courage can become contagious.

denying unanimous consent for some nominees is good; denying it for all nominees is an order of magnitude better. denying it for *everything altogether* is even better still. grind the senate to a halt until this reaches a resolution you're satisfied with

I need Americans to hate this administration the way Kendrick hates Drake so they can actually stand a chance of surviving

all I've got for today is when political commentators lament that "no one" was covering the rise of Christian nationalism or conspiracy theories about "DEI" (read: non-existent discrimination against white men for being white men) they just mean "the three guys whose newsletters I read didn't"

Now is a time we need to support each other in academia across disciplines, across universities: Those in fields not under attack, need to help those who are under attack Senior faculty need to support junior faculty Privileged faculty need to support marginalized faculty #academicsky

California DOE fires back against Trump's executive order: "It does nothing" "It is against federal law for the White House to dictate what educators can and cannot teach" Will not comply.

this is an illegal order. the president does not have the legal authority to discriminate against entire categories of americans on the basis of sex. this order is no different than if he had issued one reinstituting segregation.

I wonder where the city could find that extra money? "The NYPD spent nearly $1.1 billion on overtime during the 2024 fiscal year, which is $141 million more than the previous year, according to new data obtained by CBS News New York." cbsnews.com/newyork/news/n… Oh.gothamist.com/news/extendi...ys

Brava to our colleagues in Chicago! (When it's our turn, what will we do?)

As the mighty @jaclynf.bsky.social says, COMMUNITY IS THE ANTIDOTE TO FASCISM

Some of my students from last semester took me up on creating a community of solidarity. We are meeting soon and I will bring this so we can think together about action.

I believe that making sure your classroom is a safe, welcoming place for all your students tomorrow as a teacher is a non-negotiable at this point. Start there and then keep going.

Divorce/break up ASAP

Have decided that the next however many years will be filled with all of the women’s sports I have time to watch. Tonight’s first Unrivaled Basketball? Amazing.

we had a great 8 years of it being acceptable to be publicly queer but the right tapped into their hysteria and are trying to push us back decades. this is why the left warned of relying on rainbow capitalism because their support was about profit above all else. the solution is for us to not hide

The stigma of being a *convicted felon* only affixes to specific groups of people. I'll just leave it there.

cant sleep, stewing, thinking about how easy it is for men to be taken seriously as intellectuals, and how much ground you have to claw and claw to be taken with a quarter of the gravity, as a woman

“The US is in a state of perpetual and manufactured crisis/reform in education that serves the interests of the media, political leaders, and the education market place, but harms teachers and students.”

Democrats cannot simply respond institutionally to Trump. We need Extra-judicial, anti-institutional responses to meet the morality of the moment. My latest in @thenation.com https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/democrats-should-abandon-institution-based-resistance/

Katy ISD (under the school board’s authority) is blocking students from checking out over 400 LGBTQ+ library books. www.txftrp.org/400_lgbtq_li...
