Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

What an embarrassment. It’s wild that the official position of the US Government is now pro-Nazi.

God dammit, MSNBC changed the headline on my piece to soften it
I shouldn't be surprised, I guess — they'd already made me change every use of "fascist" in my draft to "authoritarian" in the final copy
Whatever, I'm glad the overall message got out there
But ugh!!!!

When vacancy rates rise, rents fall. It's the most robust finding in housing. If you want housing costs to fall, you have to build.

My first-ever op-ed for MSNBC has gone live:
Opinion | I am a Jew. I am a woman. But to Trump, I’m the wrong kind of both and not worth protecting.
The administration’s claims to zealously protect women and Jews don’t apply to me.

I've said it before, but it bears repeating: one of the most exhausting aspects of being trans is constantly being called a secret child molester by a bunch of (not even all that) secret child molesters.
An influential "Gender Critical" activist was recently convicted of years of child abuse, including sexual and violent abuse, and calling children slurs for trans people
She is still followed on Twitter by the majority of other influential GCs

Did you know? Chromosome testing in sports has been done before and was stopped because cisgender people repeatedly learned that their chromosomes didn’t match their assigned sex. — Something the “XX and XY only” crowd seems to have forgotten.

There's simply no ethical way to support Harry Potter in 2025. It's not possible. $0.20 from every dollar you give JK Rowling goes directly to physically harming a trans person and that's not a joke or an exaggeration.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

1. Trump has announced that transgender people are an "improper ideology," and has demanded that the Women's History Museum remove them or lose funding.
It is the latest in a government campaign to erase transgender people.

If you're fortunate enough to have disposable income, then right now it is your duty to use that income wisely. You have agency over how you spend it and you should own how you spend it.
Your decisions do, in fact, affect stock prices of big corporations.
