What just happened at Columbia is a warning: we will go down fighting or go down anyways. There are No. Other. Options. They capitulated to the right, brought in NYPD, hired Mike Pompeo for goodness sake, and still got hammered by fascism. We must for academic freedom No. Matter. What.

@zoandbehold.bsky.social was a true role model for me as I found the courage to come out, transition, and lead as my whole self. She's continuing the hard work that made that possible, and I am so, so grateful.

These kind of votes are born out of trans representation in government. Rep. Howell & I have built solid relationships with Republicans and those relationships change hearts, minds, and (eventually) votes. It is painful, grueling work. But it makes a difference.

I remember talking to a friend in mid-November about how, if nothing else, the election results would have to push Democrats away from the centrist middling that Harris embraced and towards something more engaging for young, working families. I should have known we'd somehow see the opposite.

Incredible. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social, I hope you're ready for the >25% of Gen Z folks who identify as queer to sink your primary bid. Candidates like @aoc.bsky.social who bring economic populism AND principled, equity-driven social policy to the table will fare much better in a moment of change.

And this is why it's so important to support independent journalism. Institutional journalism has become a plaything for the rich. Independent journalists are breaking the biggest news every day, beholden to nobody but their readers.

Trans rep Brianna Titone is running for statewide office in Colorado! I know her personally and know she would be incredible at the job of State Treasurer. Go give her some support.

In happier news...I love a story about the next generation of leaders refusing to accept what's happening in our country and choosing to do something about it.

be cool if we remembered 2017-2021 & put substantive evil over flash. what am i supposed to do here? join an anti-trump pro-canadian-sovereignty militia? it’s a good time to shore up your community. there’s policy being written locally. save panic for shit you can act on. you aren’t inexhaustible.

For those that think Paxton's theories of out-of-state jurisdiction are something new and limited to abortion... as is so often the case, we see it used first to target trans people. Paxton tried to prosecute Seattle Children's Hospital last year the same way. I broke the filing doc itself.
