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/...

Can’t tell if San Diego is the most beautiful city in the world or if I just really needed a vacation.

I wanted to ask what kind of birds these were but Elon Musk fired all the park rangers. (Cormorants.)

Me? Well obviously I'm powerless to stop the horrible things from happening every day. Nothing I can do about those at all, I have no leverage at all. YOU, on the other hand, that's a different story. YOU have the power to give me $23

The United States is now an open kleptocracy. The Constitution has been suspended to allow the wealthiest man in the world to loot and destroy the federal government.

The headlines made it seem like promised payments were no longer coming. Thats not what happened. They took the money out of the city bank accounts.

Elon Musk and DOGE are trying to shut down the CFPB. The agency formed after the 2008 financial crisis has returned $21 BILLION to working people cheated out of their hard-earned money by big banks. Elon and the DOGE are NOT working class heroes.

What hurts is noticing the little signs of stress in my friends. The bad habits, the extra drink or smoke they didn’t used to take. The self harm marks that weren’t there on January 19. The extra gambling and junk food that’s more a numbing agent than a treat. I’m not an empath, just observant.

"As Trump's tyrannical power grabs spark outrage, there's hope. Traveling the country as co-chair of [DSA], I hear a common trend in every conversation. What people want are fighters. People who will fight for them, their families, their co-workers, and their communities."

Who is in this overlap?

We’re telling @schumer.senate.gov : RESIST or RESIGN! #SocialismBeatsFascism

President Trump has fired Archivist of the United States Colleen J. Shogan, the government official responsible for preserving and providing access to government records. https://cbsn.ws/4aP9E1y

Do you live in NYC? Are you dreading Adams or Cuomo as our next mayor? Want to elect someone better? Then you *must* ensure you're registered to vote as a Democrat by February 14th so you can vote in the primary (the only election that matters this year). Link below ⬇️

The greatest collab in history omg.

Advocate for yourself. Ask for what you want and what you need. In relationships, at work, with family - in all aspects of life.

I’ve thought about this so many times since it was published.

Send a letter to NYC education leaders urging them to take a stand against Trump's executive orders attacking our students and schools. We want education, not erasure! actionnetwork.org/letters/educ...

USAID is good when it does good things and bad when it does bad things.

@cynthianixon.bsky.social spoke at tonight's rally to protect trans kids. So many parents of trans kids showed up at tonight’s rally because their children deserve to grow up safe, supported, and free. Every trans kid has the right to healthcare, education, and a future without fear.

An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government. DOGE is not a real government agency. DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions. DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law. DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.

"don't register for a protest" is not helpful advice writ large, nor is "anyone who asks you to register for a protest is a cop." Normie Mom Protest does not need counter-counter-insurgency measures, which will both impede the kind of organizing we truly need + make Normie Mom Protest impossible.

Greetings, I am working today but I’m taking a break to have an existential crisis about the breakdown of the United States government and most of our institutions. I will get back to you when I stop berating myself for being “lazy” when I’m actually responding like a person with nervous system.

Join DSA, CIR-SEIU, and NY Docs for a rally tomorrow, Monday Feb 3rd @ 6:30PM at St. Vartan Park - East 35th & 2nd Ave to demand NYU-Langone reverse its recent decision to stop providing gender-affirming care to trans patients under 19. RSVP: actionnetwork.org/events/prote...

Tag yourself. I’m the Sabor Latino yogurt.

NYC public schools must protect trans students, respect LGBTQ+ educators, & teach real history—no matter what Trump says. Send a letter to NYC education leaders saying we want education, not erasure! actionnetwork.org/letters/educ...

Every memo is like "I bet they got this idea from a 4chan post."

FAFO religionnews.com/2025/01/30/a...

"Trump appointed a road rules cast member to be in charge of airline safety and this is the result" that's all true and a one-sentence narrative that is completely damning to the ears of someone who isn't paying much attention to politics. Take the layup.

As parents, we demand Chancellor Avilés-Ramos take a stand against Trump’s attack on our schools. NYC must protect trans students, respect LGBTQ+ educators, and teach real history—no matter what Trump says. 📢 Demand NYC education leaders take action: actionnetwork.org/letters/educ...

You know what’s amazing? Comradeship.

Incredibly important point about how allegedly "liberal" concern trolls were clutch in making this happen. The likes of Jesse Singal and Pamela Paul hyper-focused on children, to create the illusion that trans is just a "trend." adriandaub.substack.com/p/this-is-wh...

This is horrific. And blatantly unconstitutional. Just flat out destroys the First Amendment.

1. Breaking News: Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting trans youth and teachers in schools who teach for them. It goes after "social transition" and threatens arrests. I will go through line by line, as I have the last 3 nights. Find the EO here: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I paid sixty dollars for No Man's Sky nine years ago and they refuse to stop making the video game. I've begged them to go home to their families but they won't stop adding new kinds of weird little guys and like, optimizing the gentle patter of rain on an alien ocean. Please let me pay for a DLC

The only two groups that I've seen who deeply understand the spiritual peril we are in: Black women and Jewish women. I'm talking about feeling it in the cells, our bones. Like, making emergency exit plans. I'm not trying to be hyperbolic, just saying the truth.
