John is more eloquent than me on this topic, thankfully. The rage I feel thinking of how many will needlessly die because of the arrogance and hubris of these dipshits leaves me speechless.

History is repeating itself. There were more LGBTQ people removed from government during the lavender scare than were suspected communists during the red scare. They only really taught the latter in history classes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavende...

*millions of Americans losing health coverage*

A key purpose of PRAMS is studying racial disparities in maternal/infant health outcomes. Black pregnant ppl are 3-4x more likely than white pregnant ppl to die from pregnancy-related causes. The Trump admin. has reportedly paused PRAMS' work for running afoul of the exec. order against "DEI"

1. Today, the NYT has reported that 100 members of an ERG-adjacent LGBTQ+ chat in the intelligence community have been fired. This is a new McCarthyism, a new lavender scare meant to remove LGBTQ+ in government, and the way this was done should shake us all. Subscribe to support my journalism.

She was such a huge part of my childhood from Ice Princess to Buffy to Gossip Girl. She had been through so much in the last few years and during her time as a child actor. Sad to see her illness worsened to this extent.

How incredible! I love fandom!

The West Bank is completely under attack and there’s been very little coverage in American media

This is a gut-wrenching, beautifully written essay. A doctor must watch helplessly as children die because USAID's freeze on aid has limited access to nutritional supplements. time.com/7258248/us-f...

One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This is out today. bookshop.org/p/books/one-...

For @motherjones.com, I reported on how looming Medicaid cuts could deprive millions of disabled people of health insurance. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

It's so funny that the GOP always tries to paint Dems as radical Marxist revolutionaries when the reason most people hate them is because they're squishy do-nothing centrists afraid to take a firm stand on even the easiest issue

good morning from this food not bombs south philly ig caption i like “the things you do together will change you both”

It is mind-boggling to me that people say "but I had to comply with the fascists because otherwise there would be some cost—" NO FUCKING KIDDING. Did you think you'd never have to make a hard choice in Fascist America? That you wouldn't be asked to sacrifice someone and be rewarded for it?? JFC

The point is not "oh, now everyone cares because it happened to a popular, pretty actress?" The point is...if it can happen to a highly visible, popular, and politically active actress, it is happening to trans people with far less support or visibility. Call your reps today!

Tagging a bunch of people who I think would like to know about #OFMDCraftFair - it's an online auction that has already raised over $26,000 for the Trans Youth Emergency Project! www.32auctions.com/ofmdcraftfai...

I do hope everyone who follows me and liked that piss-poor 'joke' donated generously to LimbPower. www.justgiving.com/page/forourn...

If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

NEW UPDATE to Some Actions That Are Not Protesting or Voting. - a few people have written to me to ask if I could include HEADINGS and I have done so. Also added a few more ideas. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Some fantastic news! ⬇️

It is shameful that RAINN, representing sexually abused people, erased trans people because they are scared of Trump. To any org censoring themselves: you cannot jettison trans to save yourself. Yes, if you don't, other groups may suffer, and you might too. But we are all in this together.

THANK YOU to everyone who liked, donated, and shared during P4A 2025! We had so much fun and, most importantly, raised money for charities with our favorite people. You can get perks on Tiltify until 2/19 at noon EST! projectforawesome.com/donate #P4A2025

Sick and tired (Disclaimer: trans is at the head for a reason, but all else is random. Getting distracted by what should go where is exactly the petty distraction they want.)

LGB folx know there is no Stonewall without TQ+. Trans women of color led the fight.

Sylvia brought this up at a rally in 1973 on how much Gays and Lesbians focused on their own Liberation while leaving the Trans community who brought the movement forth behind. youtu.be/Jb-JIOWUw1o

I cannot stress enough the damage this has done and will do. These are highly qualified individuals being prevented from doing important, “keep the lights on” jobs.

The Project for Awesome is a very fun and silly but also important event that raises millions of dollars for global health and other charities voted on by YOU. It has just begun. Please join us at ProjectforAwesome.com/live

We've been doing the Project for Awesome since way back in 2007. I don't think we've ever raised $100,000 before the p4a even began! Thanks to everyone who has already donated. You can get loads of amazing stuff--including new writing from hank and me. projectforawesome.com/donate

Congressperson John Lewis, whose ‘good trouble’ they love to quote so much, was arrested 45 times in his life. The last was in 2013 protesting for immigrants, during the Obama presidency.

Section 504 prohibits discrimination against disabled people & guarantees equal access to anything (services, programs, buildings, etc.) that receives federal funding. It paved the way for the ADA. The sit-in that got it passed is an extraordinary moment in US history. I am incandescent with rage.

ASL interpreters who work in the arts (concerts, opera, theatre, etc) deserve to be valued as artists too. it takes so much skill to be this good at capturing the FEEL of music beyond just translating the meaning of the text and it’s an invaluable accessibility service

Two real ones right there, now collab when??

I wrote about trans community suicide prevention, including a 4-step guide to peer interventions with links to further resources, for Xtra: xtramagazine.com/health/we-mu...

I do not know what sound I thought this creature made, but it was not the sound I heard 😂 Some cuteness for the timeline!

USAID needs our help!📢 Keep calling your members of congress, and if you live in one of the states below, also call your attorney general and ask them to include foreign aid in the suit filed by DOJ this morning. Details and call scripts here: tbfighter.link/contact-cong...

🏳️‍⚧️ NYU Langone is canceling gender-affirming care for trans youth under 19. This is harmful, likely illegal, & risks lives. 📞 Call +1 (212) 263-3269 ✉️ Email [email protected] Demand they reinstate care now. Details: bit.ly/transyouthnyu

🧵 If I'm going to get hate mail over it, I'll do this thread over w/o typos: Bluntly, I'm hearing from Hill offices that messages sent via resistbot tend to be heavily discounted. Calling is a more impactful way of communicating with Members and Senators. So if you can call, call. 🧵

Are the next 4 years really going to be logging on everyday to sentences like "a 19 year old doge intern called Big Balls has your social security number" because I'm already at capacity for this sort of thing

My sentiments exactly.

It would be nice if people could stop acting like DEI is an only a moral good. DEI strengthens organizations. People from diverse backgrounds bring new ways of solving problems and serving people. DEI isn’t a gift to diverse people. It’s a gift to the orgs that hire us.
