On World AIDS day, I'm grateful to all the elders, living and dead, who showed us how to loudly, proudly, mournfully, even joyfully Act Up! for our rights and for our lives, in the face of a state determined to let us suffer and die.
Let's unleash our power, for each other and our communities.

This is how you do it, Democrats. You don’t turn against those who need your support. You do everything you can to help them. Also, extra props for not hiding the dark parts of NYC’s history. Goddamn, Mamdani is so good at this.
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.

AISD releases their school consolidation draft plan in a few hours, and I'm anxious for many reasons, but one big concern I have is it is unclear how we are going to submit feedback to the draft plan and the most resourced schools are the ones that are going to be heard.

New today: Earlier this month, the Texas Education Agency announced that 12 Austin-area schools with an “F” rating could be closed. This isn’t just a policy decision—it’s a direct threat to thousands of children’s educational stability and their communities’ future.
Austin’s Children Deserve More than a Test Score
The city's “F” schools overwhelmingly serve mostly low-income African-American and Hispanic children.

Clue is showing at the Drafthouse and I frequently forget about what's maybe "inappropriate" in movies so I checked Common Sense Media and they have the audacity to say "The characters are too cartoonishly ludicrous to be considered positive role models" when this scene exists

Doggett needs to heed the advice he gave Biden last year, or take on McCaul
I have a ton of respect for Lloyd Doggett. He's one of the smartest officials I've met. He has served Austin admirably since well before I was born.
AND, this piece from Texas progressive legends Ginny Agnew, Aimee Cunningham, Wendy Davis, Chuck Herring, Donna Beth McCormick, & Glen Maxey is right
