i hate to be that bitch, but my sources are telling me this early voting data has gotten Zohran's people rightly spooked and y'all better stop assuming this one's in the bag. GOTV
Voter turnout surges in NYC mayor’s race, with Boomers and Gen X leading the charge
The data so far is good news for independent candidate Andrew Cuomo, a political scientist said.

To me Rowling exists entirely outside of the “should we support/work with artists with troubling views?” debate. She doesn’t just *think* her opinions, she doesn’t just *say* them, she’s a relentless 24-7 activist whose whole mission in life is terrorizing trans people.
there's also people claiming we trans people are "holding allies to a purity test" here and to be clear:
"Don't participate in stuff that actively funds the campaign to exterminate us" is a pretty fucking low bar. One might say it's not even "allyship," it's just decency.

Also, Lithgow is trying to muddy the waters by giving interviews where he pretends that the controversy here is that he's American, not that he's signing off on transphobia.

Google joins the call to gut our legal protections, pushing for a world where Big Tech gets to profit from all your innovations & works for free, and that theft is ok’d by law.
No joke IF they get this, the US will likely face irreparable harm as pivotal creative economies crash.

1. A Federal Judge has blocked Trump's under 19 trans care ban nationwide.
In the decision, he slams the Government's reliance on the Cass Review, jeopardizes youth health, and likely violates several constitutional principles.

please call your reps. Read a script if you have to, or just keep it simple and say "vote no" if you have to, but you need to call AND email and be annoying about this.
Sen. Mike Lee has introduced the SCREEN ACT, a bill that applies the "harmful to minors" standard used to ban LGBTQ+ books and resources in schools and libraries... and apply it nationally—to the internet.

Just contacted all three of my reps about this! They're all dems, but I want them to know they can't just sit down and let this happen. If you've got the energy, a call or an email about this could help make a difference!
![YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME]. I’m calling from [ZIP CODE].
YOU: I am calling on [HOUSE MEMBER/SENATOR] to speak out against President Trump’s actions on Monday in freezing all federal aid. This is blatantly illegal; the Executive Branch can’t unilaterally decide to ignore laws that were passed by Congress, especially when it comes to financial aid.
YOU: MOC must take action, and clarify how they will stop the freeze and ensure that the millions who are directly impacted by financial aid will not be harmed.
YOU: [OPTIONAL COMMENT]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vdabazxnghujbebpi2ektqgi/bafkreia6t55htxgj6v4nxv5uys3mklsp7lgba2qajqxb6c542lp2gf4gq4@jpeg)

Starting today, same-sex marriage is officially legalized in Thailand.
It’s the first country in Southeast Asia to recognize marriage equality.

Everyone keeps talking about building community and supporting each other in these hard times. There’s one very easy thing you can do right away to help others and it’s WEAR A MASK IN PUBLIC AGAIN (specifically respirators like N95). Covid is still here and H5N1 could be our next pandemic.
The CDC dropped this video on H5N1 today of all days. When absolutely no one is paying attention because we’re all in a state of despair after last night.
Highly doubt this is a coincidence.
The good news is - masks work against bird flu. Respirators especially. Not that they mention them… 🧵

I've talked to a few folks this morning who were talking about stopping work on their creative projects. Because it's "not important anymore."
I don't know who needs to hear this, but DON'T DO THAT.
We win by living our lives as loudly and truly as we can. That includes your "silly" art project.

Right. Here's your to-do list for the next two months to put you in the best possible position to survive what's coming:
1. Renew your passport (or apply for a passport) this week even if it is not expiring in the next four years. Renewing early will give you the maximum 10-year validity period.
