Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

I am not going to tell anyone not to pay their taxes. It would be funny, though, if everyone filed paper returns and submitted paper checks.

Something that's maddening about the cases involving DOGE access to our most sensitive private data and the irreparable harm standard is that the ACCESS ITSELF is the irreparable harm, and some judges just aren't getting that. (Some are, e.g., storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...)

This @dov.bsky.social post feels like the great problem of our time across democratic countries, and not just in America: the increasing lack of conservative buy-in. Can’t be solved by attempting to appease them, either. They want all of the marbles and won’t be satisfied with anything less

Every liberal "paper of record": maybe the fascists have a point Eater: Know your rights

the point should not be to “work with” political opponents. it should be to destroy them as a political force. the right understands very well that politics is about power and who has power, but there are many liberals and lefties who seem to believe that it’s about making friends.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Got himself arrested on purpose while telling his city council to not put a MAGA plaque on the library because MAGA = Nazis. It worked, producing media coverage. Baller. ✊ www.latimes.com/socal/daily-...

Yesterday I was at LA City Hall with 100s of striking fast food workers Then I drove 300 miles to Yosemite I didn't understand parking, but I got this out of my sunroof while driving! This is what Musk, at best, wants to privatize for profit, and at worst, wants to destroy We wont let them! 🧵
