Hospitals that are cutting off care to trans people under nineteen are the very definition of "complying in advance"—some, as I report in this story, even claiming, incorrectly, that Trump has "prohibited" gender-affirming care. He has not. They are caving. More here: newrepublic.com/article/1910...

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

There’s a strong crowd here, I’d say 1-2,000 people. Cynthia Nixon, whose son is trans, just spoke.

When brilliant educators get inspired by America Redux and collage the book into their notes the way I collaged the archives into the book—I just love this so much!
America Redux by @arielabergriger.bsky.social is like nothing I’ve ever seen. A brilliant visual storyteller created an epic, must-read nonfiction book. Inspired to create some collage art using her images in my notebook. #Edusky #2024Reads #Englishteacher
