Let’s talk about the economy and what’s going on.  Because we know these tariffs and job losses are going to make things worse.  So, we’ve got to keep showing up and doing the work. ⬇️

1. The 1Q 2025 Anti-Trans Risk Assessment Map is complete, and there are big changes. I have issued a "Do Not Travel" for transgender foreign citizens. Risk has deteriorated broadly across the US. Transgender youth see changes in previously safe states. Subscribe to support my journalism.

JFC, Fulbright scholar not accused of any crime, no immigration violation, no reason to expect any violence -- just Marco Rubio's whim -- and instead of summoning her first step is no-uniform / no-ID guys in masks and hoodies grabbing her off a public street.

1. In one of the most extreme anti-trans bills of 2025, a bill in Arkansas would make "contributing to social transitioning" of trans youth against the law. It asserts extraterritorial jurisdiction, applying to social media and more. Latest from Mira Lazine. Subscribe to support our journalism.

NM-01: We are taking our town halls on the road! Join us in Santa Rosa and Carizozzo, and if you can’t make it in person, we’re also holding a virtual town hall via Zoom! Plus, keep an eye on my socials for even more opportunities to meet with me this week! Join us, we’d love to see you!

having been in many rooms where protests are initially orchestrated, i can say sights like this are a highly desired outcome. protests are inherently theatrical & part of that is triggering state actors to unwittingly adopt the role they were born to play.

Selma. A powerful and humbling reminder of the Civil Rights leaders who organized and marched across this bridge for voting rights 60 years ago this weekend and continued work ahead. ✊

Biological Sex is chromosomes, hormones, gametes, gonads, a whole load of epigenetic stuff, various organs like breasts etc The only reason transphobes go on and on about chromosomes is because they are the only part you can't change with transition, not because they're important. They aren't

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

Trans people will not be erased. To everyone out there impacted by these devastating actions and attacks on the trans community, we see you, we stand with you, and we are fighting for you. Stand strong. 🏳️‍⚧️ www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/u...

Breaking: Trump's full trans military ban has just dropped. Quickly reading it, it appears to be a full separation from the military for all transgender military members, and states being trans is inconsistent with "honesty, humility, uniformity, and integrity." A sad day for this nation.

Tribal Nations across the U.S. have been impacted by federal funding freezes & the firing of staff at BIA, BIE, and IHS. These actions undermine tribal trust and treaty responsibilities. We ask the Administration to take immediate action to halt, exempt, and reverse these actions.

Here's why Indivisible Chicago is ALL IN for helping Wisconsin elect Susan Crawford to the state Supreme Court--Ezra Levin of national Indivisible spells it out:

We can help shift the tide! Wisconsin must have fair electoral maps going forward. Answer Musk’s money with a blizzard of small donations. Give Musk the finger and support Judge Susan Crawford for the open WI Supreme Court seat. Our democracy depends on it. secure.actblue.com/donate/hrccr...

We can’t match Elon Musk’s millions in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election. But we can all help stop a MAGA takeover of the highest court in this battleground state. No matter where you live, you can take action to elect Susan Crawford on April 1: indivisible.org/scowis2025

Where do the Supreme Court candidates stand on abortion rights 👇 ✅ Judge Susan Crawford has worked hard throughout her career to protect abortion access 🚫 Brad Schimel supports banning abortion in all cases Vote for Susan Crawford on April 1st. #Vote4Susan

Hey Wisconsin! There is an election April 1st, that will decide control of the WI State Supreme Court! Judge Susan Crawford is a beacon of common sense and impartiality, and dark money is throwing big bucks at her MAGA opponent. You can help: www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...

🚨Election Day April 1🚨 #WI Judge Susan Crawford is a constitution respecting, common sense justice that believes in preserving your rights. Her opponent is an extremist that only follows the whims of billionaires. Protect your rights & vote/donate for Susan Crawford! #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited

WI Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel supports banning abortion in the state with NO exceptions for rape or incest. If you care about abortion rights, make a plan to vote for Judge Susan Crawford on April 1st.

Whatever they're planning is really bad to force a mass resignation like this. apnews.com/article/doge...

We’re partnering w/ a number of groups participating in an #economicblackout THIS Friday, 2/28. Do not spend, if possible. No Starbucks on your way to work. No drinks w/ the coworkers after work. No dining out. No Walmart run. No quick McDonald’s drive-thru hit. Hurt their wallets!

Black History Month is a celebration of the resilience and contributions of Black Americans throughout history.   In New Mexico, it’s the opportunity to honor and celebrate that Black History is New Mexico History. Today we honor some of our history makers.

The sign of an unhealthy democracy is people living in fear. Right now, millions of Americans are living in fear across the country. Fear they will lose their jobs, livelihoods, and everything they hold dear. We cannot allow our communities to be terrorized. We must continue to fight back!

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

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Worth a read.

This Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.
