Every trans person--including every trans child--deserves the chance to be fully themselves. I'm so sick of seeing trans folks harmed repeatedly and unrelentingly, against all reason and scientific precedent. To my trans friends--I'm so sorry the world keeps trying to dim your light.

Today is #GivingTuesday, and we are asking for your help.

We rely on donations to maintain our 24/7 hotline, re-entry bags, and a pen pal program for the currently incarcerated.

We are able to do this work because someone like you helped fund this mission.

“Eugenic policies & laws return time & time again like poison ivy.”

America’s legacy of eugenics is alive & well in Trump’s White House, @seemiaroll.bsky.social writes in an op-ed. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s ableist rhetoric & dangerous policy proposals lead the U.S. down a deadly, yet familiar path.

What ICE just did to me was a violent abuse of power — and yet it’s nothing compared to what they’re doing to immigrant communities.

I’ve been fighting the right as a journalist and now I’m running for Congress to do the same in DC.

Because we deserve leaders who will actually stand up for us.

Sept. 12, 2025, 1:37 p.m. ET17 minutes ago Kellen Browning Beau Mason, Utah’s public safety commissioner, said the 22-year-old accused of Charlie Kirk’s killing surrendered to law enforcement officers at a sheriff’s office in southwest Utah. “When our investigators got down there, they were able to peacefully make contact with him and move through that process of making the arrest,” Mason said in an interview. “He was very compliant with that.” Mason added that the suspect’s family “did a great job of helping him come to a positive resolution to turn himself in.” Happy family on speedboat image from this tweet/meme: https://x.com/zackfox/status/1036389932854652928

How many Palestinians in Gaza were shot and killed today? How many of them were children? How many of them didn’t ask for nor celebrate nor perpetuate the kind of violence they’re subjected to on a daily basis?

How many of you care?
