I don’t really have an intro post so here’s some stuff about me and things I tend to post about:
• parenting (three kids)
• socal (San Diego)
• ttrpg/larp (but who has the time)
• lefty shit (free Palestine, trans liberation, class solidarity)

On half an hour's notice, @bkindivisible.bsky.social showed up across the street from @schumer.senate.gov's apartment to tell him NOT to CAVE.

The final chant: "WE'LL BE BACK."
Indivisible Brooklyn members in front of Chuck Schumer's apartment building at night holding signs that read "Schumer Hold the Line" and "Schumer Don't Cave on Us" etc. Lit up LED sign reading "No Schumer Surrender" and big letters on cards reading "DON'T CAVE"

SCOTUS has granted a stay in Trump v. Orr, the trans passport case, meaning that the government will be able to once again deny gender marker changes to trans passport applicants.

This is a terrible decision with horrifying consequences for trans folks.

www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
A scanned Supreme Court of the United States order, dated November 6, 2025, in the case Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, et al. v. Ashton Orr, et al., No. 25A319. The document discusses an Executive Branch policy requiring passports to display an individual’s biological sex at birth. The highlighted passage reads: “Displaying passport holders’ sex at birth no more offends equal protection principles than displaying their country of birth—in both cases.” The Court grants the government’s application for a stay at this preliminary stage, reasoning that the government is likely to succeed on the merits and that the policy does not violate equal protection principles.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

Pajama Pants Guy turns out to be a former prosecutor and gave an interview to the Trib

He really, really gets it

You have to envision yourself resisting so you're ready to resist when the time comes

archive.is/651BA
Kolp, a former prosecutor with the Cook County State's Attorney's office, sprang into action as he sometimes wondered he would have to do throughout the Trump administration's "Operation Midway Blitz" these last two months. He didn't even have time to put on his shoes or change out of his pajamas, he said, drawing jeers from one of the agents as he screamed "Nazis!" and "Gestapo!" at the agents, "Quite honestly, when all this started happening, I thought to myself that if the opportunity ever came my way to have to get involved in one of these situations, I was certainly going to do what I could to make sure that they weren't openly and flagrantly violating the law or the Constitution, Kolp -said."And yet, they just went ahead and did it anyway."

It's so telling that the Jewish person the "Washington Post" found for this article about how terrified New York City Jews are of Mamdani is someone who has already left NYC for the suburbs and can't vote there anyway.
"Jennifer Wolff, who left New York City in 2021 for Connecticut but still maintains a deep interest in the city’s politics, is Jewish and a registered Democrat but said in an interview that she doesn’t “even know what party I’m affiliated with anymore.” She helped organize regular marches in her town for the Israeli hostages. She said that what Mamdani represents to her is “a microcosm of what’s going on in the rest of the world, and once New York turns in this direction, it is indicative of how frightening it is to be a Jew right now.”"
