As an alum and former Penn athlete, I’m disappointed in @upenn.bsky.social. Trans girls and women belong in sports!
The University of Pennsylvania has agreed to ban transgender women from its women's sports teams to resolve a federal civil rights case.

The Constitutional crisis all Americans fear is here. A battle between the executive and judicial branches is underway.
The Trump regime defiantly refused to meet another court-issued deadline in the case of Kilmar Abrego García.
Dismissed was a federal judge’s deadline to disclose steps…

Stop the SAVE Act
The SAVE Act would keep millions of people from being able to vote – and would shut countless eligible voters out of our democracy. Urge Congress to vote no now.

This admin is turning on the firehose hoping you’ll burn out and give up.
But you don’t have to do it all. Do one thing, take one step each day.
Put your phone down. Take a walk. Find the thing that moves you and focus.
If we all find our one thing, we’ll build something better—together.

He’s in 3rd grade. Same age as my son.
ICE knocked on the wrong door.
No crime. No reason.
He was handcuffed. Detained.
He’s 8 years old.
This should shatter you.
It should enrage you.
No matter your politics, NO ONE should be okay with this.

I'm gonna write a self-help book and call it, "Girl, Eat a Carb," and each page is just going to be advice on what to eat with which trauma. Pasta for heartbreak, donuts for work stress, cereal for friendship drama, bagels for an existential crisis, etc. Maybe some recipes.

I don’t care if it’s not a “real” filibuster. Booker is taking drastic action to show his constituents that they are not alone. More of this, please.
