1. The Trump administration has just quietly updated the State Department website to indicate that it may invalidate transgender people's passports.
This comes a week after a SCOTUS ruling blocking lower rulings allowing trans people to update them.

Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

Any conversation about return to office vs work from home that does not acknowledge the ongoing pandemic is ignorant, ableist and destined to miss the mark.
Many, including disabled people but not only disabled know they cannot risk getting COVID and offices haven’t taken steps to protect workers.

Clearly we need millions of podcasts about the womanophere and why it wants to get the fuck out
"In 2025, 40% of women aged 15 to 44 say they would move abroad permanently if they had the opportunity. The current figure is four times higher than the 10% who shared this desire in 2014, when it was generally in line with other age and gender groups."

Aim for 6-12 air changes per hour during outbreaks. Use the highest MERV you can (ideally MERV 13), set the fan to “On” when rooms are occupied, and add a HEPA portable sized by CADR ≈ two-thirds of the room’s area.

CALL SCHUMER 202 224-6542 -- Leave VM demanding Dems stay firm on ACA premiums
Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

All the #transgender people I know are having a hard time.
And almost none of the cis people I know are asking how we're doing.
It's really striking. To say the least.
