The NYT's anti-trans fear mongering was cited in a Supreme Court briefing that stripped away the rights of trans kids. They need to be fully blacklisted by queer people and their allies. Don't work for them. Don't use them for book press. Don't speak with them for stories. They made their bed.

Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

Something that I cannot get out of my head as I watched Sen. Corey Booker walk away after holding the Senate floor for more than 25 hours yesterday was that not a single Democrat then objected to unanimous consent of the nomination of Matt Whitaker as ambassador to NATO, which passed 52-45.

Yeeesss, thank you @bennet.senate.gov for standing with @booker.senate.gov
Senator Cory Booker is only a few hours away from breaking Strom Thurmond's record for the longest speech on the Senate floor (24 hours and 18 minutes).

Every single Democratic Senator needs to be like Senator Michael Bennet out there helping Cory with his filibuster!

Come on, Cory!!!!!

Was able to speak for a while this morning as @booker.senate.gov enters Hour 13 of holding the Senate floor.

With two glasses of water and sheer determination, he’s telling the world that America is fighting back against this President.

Go Cory!

Musk staffers gained access to a system at the Interior Department. We had resisted their attempts for about two weeks to obtain administrative access to the program. Two IT officials who stood their ground are now on administrative leave and under investigation.

Senator Cory Booker enters his 16th hour on the Senate floor for his filibuster.

Thank you, Cory!

Just called @bennet.senate.gov & @hickenlooper.bsky.social to encourage them to support @booker.senate.gov ‘s filibuster, which is STILL happening. Call your senators, we need to keep this going. We need to see the Democrats fighting back against this administration.
