As a former President of a law school chapter of the Federalist Society, I just want to say how important it is that we are naming the lower-level functionaries in government and pinning their unethical and immoral behavior specifically to organizations like the Federalist Society.

DOJ Memo Lays Out New Ways to Attack DEI, Trans Care, Palestine, and Immigrants A new strategy from Federalist Society lawyers at the DOJ uses “false claims” to target trans health care providers.

A new strategy from Federalist Society lawyers at the DOJ uses “false claims” to target trans health care providers. They are already serving subpoenas to intimidate people out of providing this care. @wallace.bsky.social @interruptcrim.bsky.social @truthout.org truthout.org/articles/doj...

Stories are an “arrow in a quiver” How movement journalists share strategy and inspire action.

Without the performance of objectivity, we can create journalism that is purposeful and even inspiring. Honored to interview @erininthemorning.com @mayaschenwar.bsky.social and @mskellymhayes.bsky.social for @objectivejournos.bsky.social about how it's done objectivejournalism.org/2025/07/stor...

Stories are an “arrow in a quiver” How movement journalists share strategy and inspire action.

"The objectivity myth in mainstream journalism requires journalists to pretend their stories exist for no particular purpose other than truth; movement journalists can be more realistic and exacting."

I am seeking a volunteer to help organize some things for @interruptcrim.bsky.social's journalism fellowship (me!) during the coming 1-2 weeks. Should be a few hours of pretty fun computer work requiring a bit of spreadsheet know-how. Anyone interested?

Another terrible day in the news. I've been interviewing movement journalists and community journalists over the last few months who are thinking together about how journalism can be a source of strategy, inspiration, and political education. It's not everything, but perhaps a small antidote.

It's been so wonderful spending the last few years asking everyone around me what they are unlearning right now, and how. It turns out unlearning (letting go of ingrained beliefs) is really common, NOT impossible, and often liberating! What are you unlearning, or hoping to unlearn?

Oh, I love your recent unlearning!

I was lucky to read an advance copy of my friend & colleague @lewispants.bsky.social's new book Radical Unlearning. I cannot recommend this book enough. FACTS do NOT trump BELIEF and this book helps explain why. But it does much more than that by sharing stories of people who have changed beliefs.

Hi everyone, pre-orders help a LOT with getting the work out there, please order Radical Unlearning now and you'll get 'er in the mail in October. Scorpio baby!!! allgoodbooks.com/item/VdT28uS...

Leaving #Socialism2025 with a strong and reassuring sense of how mass movement and internal and relational change grow each other.

And finally, Vera Verbel. Y'all. She is 71 years old. She flies a small plane. She created a diversity scholarship at her local (rural Illinois) law school. She was in the Army in the frickin' 1970s and kept being a woman a secret for decades. She is a badass with a long view. Read it!

A T4T LOVE STORY: Wilson and Miss B, a documenter and activist and a DJ and drag performer right here in Durham, North Carolina, who explain how Durham is a "Black trans mecca" but also no place is safe from antiblackness and transphobia. These two are toooooo cute and talented - hilarious, too.

Joselyn Mendoza and the Mirror Beauty Cooperative - a group of immigrant transfeminine folks and their allies in Queens, New York who teach and share skills for cosmetology and business, to build community survival skills. She does SO MUCH for her community and lives with her big Mexican family 😍

Morgan Peterson, a youth advocate in Sioux Falls, South Dakota whose happy place is birds, trees, and staying grounded in deep histories of survival. Sioux Falls gave me life, and Morgan's a dedicated South Dakotan with a vision for how trans youth there can thrive. This profile will lift you up!
