today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.
Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

If we believe in Israel, we must follow Rabin’s path.. open.substack.com/pub/jstreetd...
If There Is a Future for Zionism, It’s the Path of Rabin, Not Netanyahu
From Jerusalem, I reflect on what Zionism must mean in 2025 — and why reclaiming Rabin’s legacy is essential to Israel’s survival.

If you are angry, as you should be, that restricting access to the vaccine will make covid worse and more dangerous, please start wearing a mask, which actually does a significantly better job of preventing transmission in the first place.

On this Labor Day, let's remember that today isn't likely to offer a respite for those--disproportionately women, and especially women of color, immigrant women, and low-income women--who do the unpaid and underpaid labor of care. In fact, that labor may even be greater on days "off" like today. 1/🧵

You can very easily make a case for yourself as being someone who qualifies for Covid vax on this list.
Physical inactivity, former/current smoker, depression, ETC - these are extremely broad and wide ranging categories.

It would be more honest if more people would say "I am doing OK amidst the horrors being suffered by others." It's actually not true that everything is terrible for everyone right now. We're living under unequally distributed fascism.

The reasons Republicans are destroying the Department of Education 👇
1. End enforcement of rules to promote equity in education
2. End research that highlights inequities in education
3. Limit social mobility (creating a precarious workforce to fill jobs they're pushing immigrants out of)
4. Promote disinformation (creating a ready audience for their propaganda)

One of my first tutoring jobs ended up in large part being helping the child "prep" for an upcoming IQ test by doing critical thinking workbooks. The child also lived in a mansion.
IQ tests were developed to justify social inequality. And that's pretty much the same role they still play today.
Whenever these people talk about “IQ” with a straight face I have to struggle to keep from laughing.
