I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

It feels crazy to say thank you to a politician for even acknowledging we exist, let alone expressing concrete goals to help us. But. Thank you Big Z
UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

this is an outstanding thread.
The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

1. There's a lot of confusion about this out there. Let me make it easier:
There are two ways to keep the government open: The full FY26 appropriations bill for the entire year, and a continuing resolution to keep it open for a few months at current levels.
Both are part of negotiations right now.

i took a stab at editing ezra klein’s most recent comments about trans people and electoral politics to make a point often lost by the american liberal commentariat
![Klein: I think, from your perspective and from my perspective, we probably don’t believe hugely different things. But a huge amount of the country, a majority of the country, believes things about [edit: the jews], about what policy should be toward [edit: the jews], about what language is acceptable to [edit: the jews], that we would see as fundamentally and morally wrong.
And what politically — not in a column or something, but politically — should our relationship with those people be? Do we win them over? Do we compromise with them?
This feels like a very salient question. The Republican Party is going to make sure this is a relentlessly salient question.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qqx7bauacsfwi7yufzfqio32/bafkreifs4mi34rjqmefdfpu42ms3nwz7h4ldmccn6xggr366kwlhxelq74@jpeg)

Ruby Quiz! Without running it yourself, what does the following code output in Ruby 3.2?
a = 1
b = nil
(a..b).each do |i|

a. It raises an error
b. Nothing, and then eventually crashes
c. 1, 2, 3, ... until it eventually crashes

I have not had full-time work in over two years and the side gigs keep disappearing. I am behind on important bills and can’t keep living like this. I guess I need to ask again.
If you can spare anything to keep my power on, I am out of leads.

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God.
Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.

Gaza is starving. Where are the American Jewish leaders?
A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.
