Tomorrow marks one month until the first federal election of 2025. Although my name will be on the ballot, this election is about a lot more than me. It’s about protecting healthcare, Social Security, and the American economy. To help us get out the vote, can you help me reach 40K followers?

Anxiety classes? ✋ I’m good. (😉)

From a guy who used to work there: Rachel is a remarkable person and the best TV news talent there is. If she says something is fucked up, it is. Getting rid of Joy, who dared to see through this fascism bullshit years ago and had the gall of occasionally being funny about it, is dumb.

This is the way.

1. Major exclusive breaking news: Marco Rubio may have just banned trans foreigners seeking visas with correct gender markers from US Entry. A new cable, effective immediately, says visas must contain assigned sex at birth and should be rejected if they don't. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Every student deserves the freedom to bring their true self to school. In a new collab. with @transequality.bsky.social, we offer resources that detail the current landscape of policies and laws affecting LGBTQI+ youth, and particularly trans students, in school. lgbtmap.medium.com/the-state-of...

The AP was banned from the event but the French press corps conspired to get a US AP reporter inside and insisted she be allowed to ask her question.

Hey folks! I'm joining @maddow.msnbc.com in a few minutes to talk about the impact of all those town halls last week and what comes next. Please tune in! No green room pic tonight because I'm solo on the kids today, so they kindly let me take it from home!

BREAKING: The Social Security Administration "eliminated" its civil rights office on Tuesday. "Please wait for instructions from the agency to ... report harassment." New, at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/social-sec...

One thing I'd add to that segment: we tracked GOP town halls all over the country last week. We counted only 8! So 95% of GOP members are hiding from their constituents. If we're going to pressure them publicly, local groups are going to have to get creative. Stay tuned for more on that front soon!

(NBC News) - Apple said it is working on repairing a glitch after some iPhone users noticed that speaking the word “racist” into the voice-to-text feature causes it to write “Trump” before quickly switching to “racist.” @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/tech/apple-g...

This is a full purge of every single LGBTQ employee at the NSA. Rufo is falsely mischaracterizing a LGBTQ employee resource group as a "sex chat" to create pretext to fire every single member in it. This is a playbook they will run to purge the entire federal government.

USA in 2025; scary place! Keep your 👀 open folks! Discrimination is the name of their game.

I hope America is 👀; our freedoms depend on it! #resist

Apropos nothing in particular, I think we as a 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ community need to be more forgiving of the choices other 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ make during this time even as we hope they'll fight every battle. Some people aren't fighters. Nobody should be put in the positions they're being put in.

“I ran in this area before. I’ve got good name recognition. So I think that this is a great opportunity for voters to see a change here in District 1,” said Keen. So name recognition is what should guarantee you a seat? This guy has been a clown from Day 1.

AP could have been cowardly and rolled over for Trump. “We had to comply or we’d lose [funding/access/privileges]” like so many orgs are doing. It would have been easy for them to say “gulf of America” But it never stops there. They got the memo. Good job AP.

@smerconish.bsky.social your points were well made. And lol @ponzi scheme, how true 💁🏼‍♂️ please don’t bring foolish Fishback .. back.

What happens what “DOGE” gets to the white house? So much waste, fraud and abuse there 💁🏼‍♂️

I am pleased to announce that Whitman-Walker has returned a trans care resource, now under “primary care.” I am told the decision was to update today and that it is a case of bad timing, but also confirmed the reason why it was removed was fear of the Trump admin. Still. I am very happy it’s back.

BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

When the term “biological” is mentioned, I can’t help but ponder… do they comprehend that biology also influences the structure and function of the nervous system? The same place where identity originates; the brain. (Not just genitalia) 💁🏼‍♂️

“Our predecessors deposed a brain-addled king; they crushed the violent insurrectionists of a slaveholding confederacy; they kicked the Nazis’ asses throughout Europe.” “No entitled reality-TV has-been backed by an addle-brained billionaire who cheats at video games is going to roll over us now.”

COOL JOB ALERT: We're looking for a senior leader to take on Indivisible's media operations, particularly with experience in the non-mainstream media space (influencers, podcasts, etc). Only downside is you have to work with me. Please apply or tell people to apply! jobs.lever.co/indivisible/...

Congress literally represents “The people”. Making decisions without the input of congress is making decisions FOR the people, instead of WITH the people. I for one, would love it if we could work together.

If you're in need of a real reason to maintain hope remember that billionaire-backed propaganda campaigns and mass censorship across state and federal governments has only made the country even more queer

Want to give a very special shoutout to the incredible vendors who are helping to make our @annafororlando Mayoral Campaign Kickoff a success! THANK YOU! It’s been wonderful to work with you and we can’t wait for Monday! Learn more and RSVP at AnnaForOrlando.com/kickoff

Ex NFL player @chriswarcraft.bsky.social protesting the inclusion of a MAGA acronym in the Huntington Beach library plaque at last night’s council meeting. He was arrested and cited.

Winston Churchill was right: "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried.” Too many Americans have fought and died defending democracy. We must stand with our European allies against the authoritarianism of Putin and Trump.

oh my god Hochul has been activated

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/...

I rarely reread what I've written because then I just think of all the ways I could have rewritten it, but I still very much appreciate @maddow.msnbc.com sharing @leahgreenberg.bsky.social's and my op-ed on air tonight! You can find the whole thing here: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Censorship=Disinformation. Access to falsehoods should only bolster the credibility of facts. Without any false information, there’s no means to test and verify what’s accurate.

I’m sorry, but we’re doing a piss poor job with the ~phases of physical existence~ we have. I’m not sure I have the bandwidth for a new one right now.

HEARING: Today is the preliminary injunction hearing in Talbott v. Trump, the case challenging Trump's anti-transgender military executive order. Judge Reyes began by trying to go through the points on which everyone agrees. DOJ will not agree the EO is to ban all trans people from the military.

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

JUST IN: A federal judge has ordered the reinstatement of Cathy Harris atop the Merit Systems Protection Board, ruling that Trump's decision to fire her exceeded his authority. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

I have never not rolled my eyes when I’ve seen one IRL.

Department of Education FAFSA changes are open for public comment. The changes include requiring trans students to misgender themselves and removes the nonbinary option on forms. Note: comment period is 60 days, and comments are publicly visible. Form here: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...
