Jeff Balk’s resignation is a necessary step forward, but it’s disappointing that it took public scandal for accountability. His statement doesn’t fully reckon with the harm or what real accountability requires of us. We must center survivors and do what’s right proactively, not reactively. #NetDe

Accountability applies to everyone.

@sussexdems.bsky.social shielding him instead of centering survivors is unacceptable.

I am disgusted that some would put personal or political interests above what is right.

Jeff Balk must resign. Our values are not performative, we must live them. #NetDE

I don't know that I ever thought I'd see a cis politician say Sylvia and Marsha's names, let alone one advocate for continuting the work they were part of. Thank you, Zohran, maybe a world that doesn't want us dead is possible?

The "liberals have to learn how to live with people we diagree with" line kinda stops making sense in a world where the central disagreement is whether disagreeing with them should be allowed at all

Shutdown Day Guide For LGBTQ+ People: "Continuing Resolutions" And New Anti-Trans Posts From The White House Shutdown day is here, and there has been a lot of competing coverage on Republican priorities, Democrat's demands, and what shutdown politics means for LGBTQ+ people in America.

1. It's shutdown day, and anti-trans provisions are on the line... either today, or in a few more weeks if a clean continuing resolution passes.

Trump posted a video this morning blaming a shutdown on trans people and immigrants.

Here is your shutdown guide.

Whitmer declares October “transgender empowerment month.”

AG Nessel and the Michigan govt have yet to force state hospitals capitulating to Trump to return to providing trans youth care.

I feel like this message is empty, and will only serve as right wing rage bait while delivering nothing.

When the government shuts down at midnight tonight, remember it was republicans transphobia and greed that shut it down, not democrats.

Stephen Miller: "The last message that Charlie Kirk gave to me before he joined his creator in heaven was he said that we have to dismantle and take on the radical left organizations in this country that are fomenting violence. That was the last message that he sent me ... we are gonna do that."

Stephen Miller: You will live in exile. The power of law enforcement under President Trump's leadership will be used to find you, will be used to take away your money, take away your power and if you have broken the law, take away your freedom

Sounds like a typical fascist

DAY 1/ Wall Street Journal: "Shooter was motivated by trans/antifa grievances."

DAY 2/ WSJ finds out the shooter was not trans or antifa, but a Trump supporter who was a huge fan of Charlie Kirk's notorious rival Nick Fuentes.

DAY 3/ WSJ: "We have no idea what motivated the shooter. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.

Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.

We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

My latest piece.

We can set an example for the whole nation in this election.

The Chicken War | Delaware Call In the early 1950s, Sussex County used small-town tactics to combat an insurgent labor movement

Seventy years ago, Selbyville leaders used racial violence and intimidation to crack down on a strike led by largely Black poultry workers in Sussex County, Delaware. Could be an important story given the times that we're heading into delawarecall.com/2025/09/06/t...

September is National Suicide Prevention Month.

OLLINS: But the Pentagon reviewed this wind project in 2023 & found that there were negligible national security impacts

BURGUM: In particular there's concern about radar relative to undersea drones...people with bad ulterior motives to the US would launch a swarm drone attack through wind farms

Trump on FBI raiding Bolton's house: "I could know about it. I could be the one starting it. I'm actually the chief law enforcement officer."

Elizabeth Warren: "The one thing I want to remind everyone is when Democrats get in power again -- and we will -- we've got to change the rules. We've got to change the rules on the impact of money in politics and we've got to pass the voting rights act again and make sure there is true protection."

We asked 604 D.C. residents about Trump’s takeover. Here’s what they said. Though crime continues to be a concern, most residents strongly oppose Trump’s actions and don’t think they’ll make D.C. safer, a Washington Post-Schar School poll found.

“About 8 in 10 D.C. residents oppose Trump’s executive order to federalize law enforcement in the city, with about 7 in 10 opposing it “strongly.””

Q: The DOJ is sending some of the Epstein files over to the House Oversight Committee. Are you in support of them releasing them?

TRUMP: Innocent people shouldn't be hurt. You have a lot of people that could be mentioned in those files that don't deserve to be bc he knew everybody in Palm Beach
