Mostly no one was surprised when I came out as #nonbinary about a year ago. I’m grateful for those that came before me who had to bear the brunt of the transphobia for me. I’m sad for those who live in areas that do not accept them. Sending you the love.

A dark blue chart from Protect Democracy’s Authoritarian Threat Index shows the United States rated as a “Severe Threat” with an overall score of 3.3 out of 5. It lists six categories with red and blue bars: Treatment of Media (3.2, Severe Threat), Executive Constraints (3.8, Severe Threat), Elections (2.7, Significant Threat), Civil Liberties (3.4, Severe Threat), Civil Violence (2.5, Significant Threat), and Rhetoric (3.9, Severe Threat).

It feels like a timely moment to talk about authoritarianism in the United States. Not enough people in homeland security, preparedness, and policy circles are acknowledging what we’re seeing in plain sight, and what it means.

2/ IMPORTANT: I don’t know how to talk about Dr Sims’ work while addressing the gender spectrum. I’m genderqueer and post menopausal. The only hormones I take are for issues with my menopause so I am medically treated like a cisgender woman.

In an attempt to plummet his numbers even further, tRump withdraws the US from anything peace related.

I see students using this / not that they should. It’s micro-cliffs notes.

the thing about the NYT is is you look like mamdani you have to be accountable forever for everything including a form you filled as a teenager and didn't do anything wrong with but if you look like Trump laws you have sworn a public oath to uphold do not apply to you at any point in your life

I was right, dammit. The Repuglicans in the House have no soul. The Big Bedraggled Bill passes unchanged. I don’t know what is the worst part? The bit that makes my jaw drop is the ICE budget. They requested less than $12B and received over $100B.
