Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

There’s a reason that white culture engrains “politeness” and reveres it above all else, and that reason is so the community never learns to take out its own fucking trash.

I'm done debating trans rights. Completely done. We exist. We are valid. There's no one right way to be trans or right way to gender. Either accept people are the gender they say they are or get fucked.

Since Trump fired most of the National Park Service, the bears have to pick up the slack.

My latest: "The more often we have experienced true helplessness, the more likely we are to feel powerless in situations where action is possible. And the more we freeze or flail in response to threats, the more deeply ingrained those responses become."

People assume they’ll be the exception. That disability, poverty, homelessness won’t befall them

That if something “bad” happens, they will be able to “try harder” their way out of it.

This false belief allows them to blame the ones who are suffering, instead of the oppressive systems that trap us

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out.

They gut the FAA.
Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted.
Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

It makes as much sense to have a public debate about trans healthcare as it does to have a public debate about hip replacements. You almost certainly know nothing about it and so you should shut up. The government knows nothing about it and should leave it to the experts
The idea that there should be a public debate about the appropriate medical care for a minuscule population of children remains one of the most absurd lies that these liberal transphobes, NYT edit board included, tell themselves. No there shouldn’t! It’s not an appropriate matter for public debate!

Part 3, in which AOC explains that the calls we have been making to members of Congress this week are having an impact on Republicans and Democrats alike.

Don’t let up.

the only president in the history of polling who began a term in office with approval as low a Trump's right now was ... Trump in 2017.

that's what CNN is gushing over. the second-worst start-of-term approval rating in history.
CNN's Harry Enten gushes over Trump: "This is big league. This is a sign that the American people, at least initially, like what they're seeing."

Do something kind for yourself no matter how small once a day. It doesn’t have to be big, it doesn’t have to be bombastic. It can be as much a smelling a flower, taking a bath, dreaming, writing/drawing, or sitting in silence to detox — but no matter what happens:

Do. Something. Kind. For yourself.

hi, cis folks! meet S.9. it's the senate sports ban for trans athletes that matches what passed the house & they'd love a bill for trump to sign day one.

short call scripts for democratic & GOP senators follow. if you said you'd stand with trans folks, it's time.🧵

And yup, as expected, the NYT and WaPo stories about the app going dark only mention that Congress passed and Biden signed a law. Zero mention of Trump's previous actions and comments to push for a ban, or of his cozying up to its leadership (and vice versa.)
We truly live in the dumbest timeline. And instead of media pointing out that Trump led the charge to ban the app before he flip-flopped, and his seemingly corrupt dealings with TikTok leaders, DC press will spin this as “Dems got played and Trump is brilliant.”
TikTok is fortunate for President Trump. 🙏
