No longer are the NYT Op-eds, thin veneers of pseudoscience, and false claims about trans people needed to justify discrimination.

The Chilling Line Trump Just Crossed On Transgender People

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

I find it interesting that the same people who use religion as the justification for taking away rights from women and LGBTQ folks are saying that a sermon calling for compassion and mercy and humility and unity is too political.

Sunday’s Zoom with @hcrichardson.bsky.social was full of wisdom on how to navigate 2025—focus on what you can control, find your people, and never stop learning. So, what’s your game plan to make it through the year?

How could a president who has less than half a business day left in office possibly provide any such assurance? Am I missing something?
Just in: TikTok says it plans to shut itself down Sunday unless Biden publicly pledges non-enforcement. TikTok wants everyone to be sure Biden is to blame, which conveniently also curries favor with Trump.

That guilt you feel about not being able to support every GoFundMe for folks who are suffering?
That’s actually rage at a corrupt system refusing to support its people - a rage carefully steered away from the system so you struggle with yourself & not with the institutions that deserve it
