Something everyone invested in the #NJGOV election should read, especially if they are part of a marginalized community. How can immigrant families or queer/trans folks believe what Sherrill says when she doesn’t even make the barest minimum of signals that she is good on her word?

I maintain that the events surrounding NET last year look especially damning against the backdrop of our current political climate. Some people at NET are trying to make the event safer for marginalized folks, but if change from the inside had been enough, this wouldn’t have happened. #heathensky

Almost a year ago, my partner and I moved up to New Jersey, leaving Texas after living there for years (15 yrs for me, most of his life for my partner). It was a really hard move - I loved a lot of things about Austin, I had a great support network there, and the move itself was grueling & EXPENSIVE

My dear friends are looking to get out of Texas to escape the anti-trans legislation there. These moves from red states to blue are only going to increase in volume as time goes on. Donating (even a small amount!) and/or sharing is a way of fighting back. 🌸💛 #GoFundMe #MutualAid gofund.me/22573809

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

It’s this right here that really gets me. People who value Tesla stock more than the lives of children should not be allowed to hold positions of leadership in society.

Awfully quiet on the part of Gadyaces Serralta considering how many court orders the Trump admin is flat out ignoring. Oh and also no word about #DOGE allegedly using US Marshals to break into USADF. Why is there no coverage about this person anywhere? Where is he? @maddow.msnbc.com

Not enough names on this list. @norcross.house.gov please speak out against Khalil’s detainment with every fiber of your being because you have constituents who are DEEPLY concerned. Esp after what just happened with Jersey Kebab.

Fascinating response to my search query, Google. Concerned that folks may find out about Trump's red triangle FB ads that got removed in 2020? I think it's good for folks to see that this co-opting of Nazi symbols has been happening for a long time. The pink triangle showing up is no surprise.

Donald Trump targeted AP and legacy media did nothing. Donald Trump has now targeted two large law firms and Big Law is silent. You all read Martin Niemöller's poem “First They Came.” So, I ask you -- What are you doing?

The Guardian is reporting that Trump is openly violating a court order, and has transferred multiple transgender women to men's facilities. We know in Florida, transgender women are having their hair shorn, feminine items confiscated, and pulled off medication. This is inhumane and illegal.

We actually shouldn’t focus on building bipartisan coalitions with fascists, @tomsuozzi.bsky.social. History tells us that it doesn’t work. Take Al Green’s example and stand up for what is right before it’s too late. THAT’S what your constituents want to see.

Even the people working at DOGE say it is a lawless nightmare for America. In fact, they know it better than anyone. Thanks to these true public servants who won’t stand for such a dangerous betrayal of the American people.

The reporting on the trans travel visa ban is criminal. It does NOT only affect transgender athletes. The cables CLEARLY say it affects all trans people. They can reject visas on point 6 of anyone who is requesting a visa that does not match their assigned sex at birth.

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.
