1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so. 🧵

The rumors are true! @biggleb.bsky.social and I are launching a new BLACK CAT series this August. Something fishy is going on with Spider-Man, and Black Cat realizes it's up to her to pick up the slack. Fast, fun, and we encounter some old friends... aiptcomics.com/2025/05/06/b...

It’s for real! Next week on stands!!

this is an old thread but some folks are still finding it and in light of the stuff with the Trevor Project and the supreme court ruling maybe it's worth reposting just in case anybody is looking for some concrete stuff that's definitely helped me hang in there during really hard moments

Happy Father’s Day to the dads, people who act as dads, and people missing their dads

The cop yelling about how it’s all your fault after the cops shot you in the head. Really sums it up.

During the pandemic, the US implemented the most effective social welfare policies in our history -- programs that worked because they were big enough, simple, and universal. And then we withdrew them. This remains imo the central economic-policy story of our times. davisvanguard.org/2025/05/3hou...

From the administration that brought you an incompetent response to COVID …

In case y'all missed it - Utah Republicans ordered a study on transgender healthcare, expecting it to come back unsupportive. Instead, it found that trans youth care was safe and effective, and that transgender youth need it. Whoops. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

A nation conceived in Calvinism was always going to go this way, I guess. All illness and misfortune is evidence of sin and depravity to these people—it must be, because they’re doing great, they must be favored by god/nature.

5 years ago, George Floyd was murdered—and he should still be alive today. His death sparked a global movement, but true justice means real change. It’s time to take meaningful action to end police violence and create a more just society.

You have to have a base level of literacy and knowledge of current events to use social media. Continuing to use Twitter is a moral failure. Alternatives exist, and staying there literally puts money in the hands of an enemy of the state. Don't be complicit. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Thx again Birds reporters for posting here so I can skip Twitter @sheilkapadia.bsky.social @dzangaro.bsky.social @brandonleegowton.bsky.social @timmcmanus42.bsky.social @fduffy.bsky.social @jimmykempski.bsky.social @bowulf.bsky.social @roobworld.bsky.social

5calls.org/issue/medica... Even if your voice shakes. Call your reps. Call your senators.

It only took my five minutes to call both my Senators. You can do it right now

There are SO many reasons to prevent this bill from being passed. I just called my Senators and it took 5 minutes. I know you have 5 minutes today. Just call and ask them to do what they can to prevent HR1 The One Big Beautiful Bill act from moving forward. That’s all you need to say.

Bringing this to Bsky bc @steverattner.bsky.social hasn't posted it yet and it's so critical. The entirety of the cuts to Medicaid and food benefits are to pay for tax cuts for people earning more than half a million a year. Call Congress: 202-224-3121

The courts just stopped Trump from dismantling the Dept. of Education. Newsflash: you don’t get to gut public education without Congress. Thousands of workers? Saved. Public education? Protected. Dictatorship? Denied.

It bears repeating that 5calls.org makes it incredibly easy to contact your reps. They give you the phone numbers, a script to read, and a run down of what is happening with each issue. I just called my senators in my pjs half awake and I'll probably do it some more later
