We hope you’re not tired of winning tonight because we’ve got some more good news: New Jersey will remain a Democratic trifecta! Please show some love to all of the NJ Indivisibles who worked tirelessly throughout the year to help make this happen. 👏

New Jersey, it is the honor of my life to earn your trust to become this great state’s 57th Governor.

I promise to listen, lead with courage, and never forget who I serve.

I really appreciated this conversation with the folks at @radpedagogy.bsky.social! So nice to return to this conversation about love and work after a week of installing an (amazing) exhibition at Human Resources LA, and during a season of doing policy work via my UC service.
Our latest episode is dedicated to anyone who has ever done work they love in an institutional context where harassment + betrayal are endemic. What pedagogies emerge in/from that dynamic? Can we make institutions that love us back?

Jennifer Doyle (@fromaleftwing.bsky.social) talks about it.

He’s right. This is a thing we can do and if you can knock on doors, do! I work w/ seedthevote.org but there are efforts all over.

I know we have a LOT going on but I remain just stymied by how little controversy there has been about athletic federations sex testing women athletes. It's so fucking wrong and I feel crazy for living in a society where women athletes aren't fighting back. That's my thought for the day.

Dear world,

I am sorry to inform you that women with an activated SRY gene exist and, equally, men without an SRY gene exist.

The SRY test is not a definitive marker of sex.

Yours faithfully

NEW: World Athletics’s reintroduction of sex testing at the World Championships 2025 is "a threat to all women", an expert has said.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Familiar to all sports fans who have tried to show support for 🇵🇸 in the stands in the U.S.. We are branded a security threat...by who exactly???
And there’s the smoking gun: Tennis Canada collaborated with Israeli intelligence to ban spectators from the Davis Cup match.

(Obviously in order to prevent images of anti-genocide protest spectacle that would have been broadcast around the world.)

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.
