Calling #USAID friends to action on #MayDay - join us aa we join @50501movement.bsky.social National Day of Solidarity!

Technology - by default - will reinforce and often exacerbate existing inequalities and systems of power. Technology - by default - reflects the morality and priorities of the people who build it and pay for it.

GCs/TERFs are cowards. All their language speaks to their rage against patriarchal oppression, but because the patriarchy is scary and they would face harm from attacking it, they turn this rage against some of the most vulnerable people - trans people.

Reminder - EOs are memos to the executive branch and do not necessarily have legal bases.

No no no no. We do not want this administration to create or maintain a US Government database of disabled people, please - not when they a. Do not give a shit about privacy, and b. They are flirting hard with eugentics.

I love this.

THIS. It isn't about the guy, it is about the fact that the guy did not have his rights honored and abided by. Determining how to fairly deal with alleged criminals is the *entire purpose of the judicial system* - why we have due process, which has its roots in the Magna Carta, written in 1215.

Solidarity with trans women after today’s Supreme Court ruling. The rollback of LGBT rights — especially trans rights — is global, bankrolled by billionaires and the far-right. Trans rights are human rights. We must defend the Equality Act and its protections for trans people.

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"? Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

@rollingstone.com showing us how to write a headline that is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I am sorry to say it, but this is probably one of the most important things you can repost today.

it’s a lot harder to treat trans people like a thought experiment when you see “trans people” is a collective abstraction for many individual trans persons—women, enbies, men—each singular, with interiority & interests. one of us fences. one swims. one throws & fires beautiful clay pots.

Don't fuck with moms and grandmoms.

Protect Medicaid, restore usaid.

This - using tax data foe immigration purposes - is what I mean by misuse of government data. The irs / us government made a promise to data subjects that if they paid their taxes, these records would not be used to harm them. Trust has been broken.

The classics are a classic for a reason.

Oh good lord. How fucking stupid.

Threatening us with a good time, Elon?

Sharing a deeply personal story about how one foreign assistance professional got involved in humanitarian assistance. As read by Sen Cory Booker. youtu.be/CgWWpmApIeY?...

Evidence that the American people cannot be bought

On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate Minnesota’s transgender community and recommit to standing up for our neighbors in the face of hatred. As your Governor, I’m proud to stand in this fight with you.

Yep

Just Do It

BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.” The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

How did I spend my day? Entered my 30 years of experience into a website three different times to apply for the same job... a combination of faulty software and user error are to blame...

Palate cleanser.

Ask your doctor!

The National Cancer Institute (part of NIH) released new guidelines for "controversial, high-profile or sensitive" keywords that require "review prior to publication" if included in a product or materials. Keywords include abortion, obesity, and peanut allergies.

I keep saying this again and again, Trump's policies are not just dangerous for Americans, but dangerous for the whole world Epidemics and pandemics cannot be contained by any one country or region - collaboration is the only path

This is similar to one being sent to USAID IPs Poorly defined, highly politically subjective terms, no way to quantify...

every material difference between the defined binary sexes is either malleable, a slight statistical difference, or unobservable to the point irrelevance

The Jesuits who taught me at GU would have told the US Attorney the Jesuit equivalent of "fuck allll the way off with yer bullshit". Hoping this faith is not in vain.

Well said!
