Popular or not Dems cannot bend on the need for trans people to be treated with basic humanity and respect. If we give up that because the right made trans people unpopular, we give up everything. They’ll dice us group by group like a salami. We die on this hill or we die alone in a ditch

If you’re a straight, cis person who has ever posted some version of a rainbow with “you’re safe with me” or similar, it’s time to back up the words with action— contact your reps and ask them what they’re going to do to protect trans people from this administration, particularly trans kids.

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.

Things are weird and bad so here, stop and take a bird break. Here's a bird. Look at it. REGARD THE BIRD. (photo by me)

Since the FDA can’t communicate with us, then I will help the government do their job. Subscribe to my Substack to get FDA recall alerts until their communication embargo is lifted. This is a matter of public safety. drrubin.substack.com/p/fda-recall...

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

The new "sex and gender" executive order does nothing but make trans people's lives more difficult than they already are. Trans prisoners will be raped more, trans federal employees will be discriminated against more, and trans travelers will be subject to unneeded hassle. For nothing.
