Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

Compromise is what you do when deciding what restaurant to eat at, not when it comes to choosing leaders that will fight for the most vulnerable.

I will not compromise when it comes to the lives of trans people, homeless folks, and the like.

Don’t ask me why I won’t settle. Ask why you will.

I think it’s interesting how it’s “political violence” when it’s a white supremacist but not when it’s hundreds of thousands of Sudanese or Palestinian people.

But y’all are still fuzzy on why fascism happens?

Pay attention. This is what you actually value.

“So what if he disagreed with you, he didn’t deserve to die”

But he thought I did.

This isn’t disagreement. It’s someone who was not only opposed to my existence but was called a good and faithful servant by the church for doing it.

I don’t have to mourn that. And asking me to is violence too.

The conversation we’re not ready to have yet is that having empathy for a white supremacist is part of what upholds white supremacy.

And by that measure alone, it fails to be empathy at all.

The fact that HBCU’s are being targeted right now despite initial reporting that Charlie Kirk’s shooter was white should tell you that people like me talking about Charlie Kirk ain’t the problem.

We can never be polite enough. These people just want us dead.

Respectability politics saves no one.

The same people who told LeBron to “shut up and dribble” are the same ones who held a moment of silence at sporting events for Charlie Kirk, and I want us to think critically about what this says about who we think is and isn’t worthy of respect.

Plentiful Data, No Regret: What the Utah Review on Youth Trans Care Found — Assigned A 1,000-page report by the College of Pharmacy at the University of Utah, which found care safe and effective, stands out from others: It’s both independent and an actual review of the evidence.

The Utah Report shows exactly what the people commissioning it didn’t want to see, that gender affirming care works.

hello from west oakland

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.

Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?

Justice Sotomayor’s Warnings:

She was right the one, is she right about the other?

I have questions.

Zooey is doing WORK in Montana and teaching everyone several lessons:

1) You can stand on your values as a Democrat and not harm trans people.

2) Doing so can actually move hearts and minds in a traditionally conservative state.

3) There is value in having representation in our halls of power.

A Connecticut official sharply criticized Avelo, one of just two carriers to fly out of New Haven's Tweed Airport, calling the decision "disappointing and disturbing."

A political cartoon by Slyngstad, dated 2025, depicts a man wearing a red "MAGA" hat sitting at a desk, looking concerned. He has a beard and is speaking, with a speech bubble that reads: "I was okay with the anti-trans stuff, demonizing immigrants, the gay bashing, sexism toward women, rounding people up off the street because of their skin color, all the other outright racism, but now I'm starting to think this could affect me." In front of him is a computer monitor displaying a graph with a downward-trending red line and the headline "MARKETS IN FREE-FALL."

It’s sadly accurate.

Republicans are stealing a North Carolina judicial race. They won't stop there. It's January 6 without the insurrection.

GOP court decision overturning Democratic victory in North Carolina Supreme Court race is 5 alarm fire for democracy. It’s January 6 without the insurrection. Make no mistake, if GOP succeeds in stealing election in NC, they’ll use that playbook everywhere www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
