Last night, Allegheny County Council voted 11-3-1 to pass our ordinance limiting county employees from cooperating with ICE/CBP, and I was proud to be a co-sponsor and a YES vote. 🧵

I for one prefer jokes that you have to explain.
Pizza beans.
Today is a beautiful day to do something kind for someone you love today.
Incredible content. No notes.
I was once run over by a herd of sheep.
Jesse Singal: “I don’t understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??”
A federal judge in Pittsburgh blocked the DOJ from forcing UPMC to hand over records of trans youth who received gender-affirming care. The ruling called the government’s stance “callous” and warned of overreach.
The New York attorney general's office has ordered NYU Langone to resume gender affirming care for trans youth due to violating New York Human Rights law.

Torturing trans women prisoners by executive fiat, and doubling down on said torture as soon as they attempt to fight back.
This is what trans genocide in the USA right now looks like.
They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).
the incentives here are so obscenely terrible that the entire thing should be illegal by default
“I am sabotaging negotiations because I stand to make piles of money on Polymarket” is absolutely in play, what a horrifying clusterfuck
No war.
Happy birthday mom. I love you and wouldn’t be the woman I am today if it wasn’t for your love and support throughout my life. You have taught me so much about strength, passion, and what unconditional love means. Thank you for loving me and for being there whenever I need you. I love you.
The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

That is not governance. That is state intimidation.
And if you think this stops at Kansas, you haven’t been paying attention.
Trans people are the testing ground. If the government can retroactively erase our legal recognition, it can do it to anyone.
This is a coordinated strategy to make daily life impossible for transgender people.
Not by banning us outright — but by slowly stripping away the documents we need to exist.
No license.
No stable ID.
No safety in traffic stops.
Constant threat of arrest.

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.
They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.
They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.
Congratulations to Erin, this is a huge acknowledgement of the work she has done locally, and such a tremendous loss for Allegheny County.
Margin: Mazzocco wins the district by 64 points (!)
Former incumbent Dan Miller won it by 33 in 2024.

Happy birthday @someclevername.bsky.social !
The project was never bathrooms or sports it was and always will be about removing me and my community from public life entirely.
I can't even express how important it is to see someone who was willing to give up the thing she was best at, that some would say she was born to do. To only come back when she could love it again, and do it on her own terms. And then win a gold medal BECAUSE she found the joy and the fun in it.
I doubt that there's a more effective way to capture unitary executive theory in an image.
And because it's the DOJ building, it also captures the notion that the President is above the law.
the problem with giving in on things that don't poll well is that as soon as the right wins on the the things that don't poll well, they move on and start lying about more popular things to manipulate public opinion, starting the cycle again.
Congratulations and welcome to Pittsburgh. Best of luck and look forward to reading your work.
