I want to commend #Boston for declaring itself a sanctuary city for the #LGBTQ 🏳️‍🌈 community

I'll start giving a shout-out to every city that declares itself a sanctuary city for LGBTQ

Every city should want to follow in this example

Something I haven't seen covered extensively with regards to the Department of Education is the fact that the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) funds early intervention services, along with Medicaid. EI is usually free, or very low cost for families.

Reminder that transgender people are people who happen to be transgender; Trump and MAGA reduce them to nothing *but* being transgender.
We All Lose in Trump’s War Against Trans Americans
His cynical executive orders targeting trans people will harm important American institutions by taking away talent, energy, and the plain competence our country needs.

The Washington Post editorial this morning essentially equating Biden's questionable pardons with Trump's outrageous Jan. 6 pardons was unconscionable. The newspaper I've been part of for 48 years has utterly lost its soul.

Today I counted more than 50 subreddits that went through with banning links from X, reaching more than 40 million combined members. At least 20 million of those members were encouraged to join Bluesky, instead.

More than 50 Reddit communities ban X links to protest Musk
The cascade of link bans came after Musk made a hand gesture at a Monday rally that many compared to a Nazi salute, which many cited in their protests, among other things.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

fitting in a way that Zuckerberg, who was so disgusted by Trump after January 6 that he felt keeping him on his platforms was a danger, was with Trump today as he was inaugurated and then pardoned the J6 rioters.

"Yes. Lick 'em tomorrow though."
