Got it—good catch.

Portland has elevated protesting to an art form.

I wish we could make it profitable to be a decent human being.

CHICAGO…

This is an excellent letter. Thank you, Mayor Wu.

Trump’s Push to Dismantle the DOE Puts Public Schools—and Democracy—at Risk Trump’s move to dismantle the Department of Education threatens public schools and strikes at the foundation of American democracy: public education.

"Across these policies runs a common thread: We are not in this together, we owe each other nothing, and the future is not our concern. It is a small, mean vision of America."

I’ve heard a lot about the #paxlovid mouth side effect but I didn’t realize until now that it’s a strong enough sensory experience to disrupt my sleep, like sleeping in a noisy or brightly lit room.

Still grateful for Paxlovid’s benefits.

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

Happy Americans with Disabilities Act Day to all my disabled friends and some foes.

I love it when your pieces hit my inbox. Keep ‘em coming.

So Biden can't forgive student loans, but Trump can abolish a Congressionally-created and mandated cabinet-level department?

The churches who are not loudly fighting against the fascism and the disappearing and the corruption have ceded all of their moral authority.

I keep seeing people speculate about impact specifically regarding materials with LGBTQ+ representation.

Yes, but religions also oppose adultery! murder! wars! abortion! and a host of other things, which are represented in BOOKS.

court expansion needs to be non-negotiable for the dem nominee going into 2028

Congratulations to the 13 brave women who risked their careers and reputations to stand up to Cuomo’s sexual predation

We bombed Iran without congressional approval and I still have chores and work and kids in sports and supper to make.

Living through autocracy and another possible forever war while living day to day is wild.

Covid is a social justice issue.

Respirators cost money.
HEPA filters cost money.
Tests cost money.
Vaccines cost money.
Paid time off is rare.
Affordable child care is non existent

Covid disproportionately impacts those who are already the most marginalized

Mask up & protect your community

The Good Faith Experiment is Over When is it all enough?

"And now, in the latest of a string of appalling actions, a sitting U.S. senator has been assaulted and detained in the state he honorably serves solely because he tried to do his job as a public servant. The good faith experiment is clearly over."

I could end up responsible for meeting minutes someday. Does OML allow for them to be recorded in western classical musical notation?

Ooh I got this. Want me to bring an instrument to the next meeting? I told you I might have skills to pay you back for legal insight. Didn’t think it would look like this but I’m in!

Wearing a mask is not “living in fear”, it’s adapting to reality.

Covid changed things. It’s a multi system vascular virus that spreads through the air.

Its killed & disabled millions.

A well fitted respirator is one of the best ways to live your life while safeguarding long term health.

Utah study on trans youth care extremely inconvenient for politicians who ordered it The state's ban on gender-affirming pediatric care "cannot be justified" by science, a two-year review concluded.

More than two years ago, Utah Republicans commissioned a study on gender-affirming care for youth. It just came back, and the conclusion is unambiguous: full recommendation in support of gender-affirming care.

I think there are lot of well-meaning non-trans people who think gender-affirming care is a luxury or aspirational thing, like dental veneers or nose jobs. "Sure, it'd be nice if trans folks had this care but they don't need it, do they?"

Yes. It's literally lifesaving. It's suicide prevention.
