Does anyone else remember when Mitt Romney said that a large portion of his party really doesn't believe in the Constitution? I think about that a lot these days.

As the Supreme Court deliberates Tennessee's ban on life-saving gender affirming care for trans and non-binary youth, the fight for health access and health justice for the trans community marches on. The road ahead will be difficult. But I am with you. I see you. And I love you.

I honestly can't stand when journalists use the term "culture war" to describe an argument over whether or not trans people should be recognized as worthy of human rights.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

I'm so tired of reading post-election takes that don't acknowledge the central issue: voters are swimming in disinformation that confirms their own biases, and white supremacy and patriarchy form their worldview. Republicans successfully engaged in identity politics: people felt "seen."

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.

I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/

NYC is on fire because Eric Adams took a hatchet to the Parks Department budget, firing 51 forestry specialists who remove the dead trees and invasive species most likely to ignite during dry periods.

Biden, Trump Die 2 Minutes Apart Holding Hands

I fear the U.S. government may actually collapse. When you look at who he’s picking, what they plan to do, who they plan to fire, how under-resourced and understaffed and perpetually anxious the remaining employees will be, how much institutional memory is being washed away, the utter lawlessness...

He's "got the look" is the most important qualification right now. Take that, DEI hires!

I'm so worried for my trans students right now. Why is our national conversation laser focused on them? Any Democrat strategist blaming "woke" for the election loss is an ass. Everyone has a right to be authentically themselves!

Throughout the last two years of weekly focus groups and frequent surveys with battleground state swing and disaffected Democratic voters, three things rose to the surface time and again.

What has happened to Gen X? I can't get over how much support Trump had from my generation.

I'll be teaching 1984 to tenth graders in a week. I've taught it for 23 years, now, and it's unfortunately more relevant with each year. Wonder what they'll make of it this year.

Trying this platform out. Sick of supporting X.
