They’re just throwing shit at the wall and seeing if that counts as government.

They think that if they write enough executive orders, memos, tweets, and random CC:ALL agency emails, then eventually the entire superstructure of the US federal governance will magically kick back into functionality.

So sad to see Harvard Law grad and civil rights attorney Kiah Duggins passed away in the plane crash yesterday. Our paths never crossed but I've been fortunate to teach gifted students like her and it's heartbreaking that we lost such a bright light in this world. www.fox5dc.com/news/howard-...

NEW: OPM is sending a follow-up email to at least some employees from the hr@opm.gov email address stating, "We have received a number of questions regarding the deferred resignation program. Below are our top FAQs."

It then lists these four Q&As, also on the OPM site: www.opm.gov/fork/faq

Straight arm gesture!? Call it what it is.

Friends, don’t let these fascists get away with minimizing one single thing. They are trying to overwhelm us with the shear magnitude of their f*ckery, but we will not be distracted or divided ✊

Justice 👏 will 👏 prevail 👏

Recommend the thread; this part especially resonates with me because it highlights how gender affirming care is powerful even for those of us who are relatively able to "cope." A lot of rhetoric against this care is based on outdated yet widespread notions that it should only be a last resort.
Well, when I was in my early thirties I returned to wearing men's clothing (which I'd first done in my teens and early 20s).

Suddenly, my depression and eating disorder got better. I was able to work again and I had my first healthy romance.

In medical parlance, my symptoms became sub-clinical.

From our friends at Equality Michigan! 🥳🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈✊ So much resolve and careful work went into making this happen. I’m so proud of the entire community for responding to the calls for action, even when that action was “sit tight.” ☺️ We did it! #michigan #mileg #lgbtq

This brings to mind the fact that Michigan’s Dem majority failed to repeal several laws which are defunct due to #SCOTUS rulings, like same-sex “sodomy” and “gross indecency”. #LawrenceVTexas #mipol #mileg

Speaker Pro Tem Laurie Pohutsky says adjourning sine die is expected to be the only order of business for the House on Dec. 31.

"Everything that was on the agenda today in the House is dead," Pohutsky said. "The 55 members who did not attend should feel free to own that." #MILeg
After an unsuccessful attempt to get members into the chamber by issuing a call of the House, the House has failed to reach a quorum and has adjourned until Dec. 31 at 1:30 pm. Audible boos from the House gallery. #MILeg
Michigan House Speaker Joe Tate has issued a call of the House, ordering House sergeants to bring absent members back to the House floor and bar the doors.

Democratic Rep. Karen Whitsett is in the Capitol, but not the chamber. No Republicans are currently in attendance. #MILeg

All I want for Christmas is for Michigan Democrats to pass HB 5300-5303🎄🏳️‍⚧️

A person’s name is core to our identity and humanity. Trans Michiganders deserve to have accurate IDs without the added barriers.

Here's what I'm thankful for today.
1. Vance seems to have disappeared again.
2. I can avoid most conservative news and sanewashing news outlets.
3. I'm able to create a creative bubble around me while I plan my resistance. #Thankful

My belief:

The trans community is brave and strong. Yes, we are about to be put through the wringer. But we will rise to this moment and inspire the nation with our bravery and steadfast refusal to go gently along with fascism's plan for us.

One thing I really wish I could pound into the heads of the people at the Times is that some of us are neither trans nor activist but just think their trans coverage is dogshit journalism, as journalism
Ah but when you look at the historical example of gay marriage, the moderates who said civil unions were enough were wise and the extremists who wanted marriage equality were unnecessarily aggressive, and that is why the moderates won and gay people are content with only civil unions today

One of the New York Times’ clearest tells is that it has multiple reporters whose bio lines say they cover free speech issues, but the paper never once reported that Donald Trump threatened to fine and imprison people for criticizing the Supreme Court.

Dear Michigan Democrats,

With only eight session days left in 2025, SHOW US that you can come together to pass this vital legislation to protect women, immigrants, and the LGBTQ community…

We are watching and waiting 👀 and we will remember who stood strong by our shared values #michigan #LGBTQ

Republicans spent $215 million on anti-trans ads this past election cycle. I donated the $134, equivalent to the amount of hate money that was spent on me, to the Trevor Project.

I hope you’ll join me by supporting queer and trans youth. It’s more important now than ever. #transvisibilityweek
