My mayor!

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

I seriously don't know how to explain to people that it is not in fact a sign of maturity and democracy to peacefully debate whether certain groups of people should be allowed to exist

the revival of the onion video team has made some incredible videos in the last year but this might be the best yet

The people have spoken, "transgender for everybody!"

Part of Zohran’s strength was a positive vision rather than an alternative to something worse but I think a lot of awful people were really banking on a result that allowed them to definitively close the book on the idea that MeToo shit is disqualifying, I wish them a harrowing night

The Tyranny of Public Opinion The battle over trans rights shows that Democrats have forgotten the fundamentals of politics

In light of the discourse, I’m boosting a piece I wrote recently about why Democrats should focus on changing public opinion rather than chasing it.

INCREDIBLE Ruling!

Judge Reyes just ruled that transgender people have served honorably in the military, judges Trumps trans military ban - which states trans people are inherently dishonorable - as unconstitutional and motivated by animus.

Trans military members may continue to serve.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Gov. JB Pritzker

Gov. Tim Walz

these are our party leaders now, ignore all other opinions

“Women Say Hell No to Cuomo” protest outside mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo’s fundraiser hosted by dozens of women — reading out loud the testimony by women who accused the former governor of sexual harassment.

This is a stunning betrayal by Whitman Walker in DC.

You CANNOT jettison the trans community to protect yourself.

It’s shameful. I got my name changed at WWH. I have promoted their research.

Now they are capitulating to save gay people at trans people’s expense by trying to erase us.

I am extremely disturbed by reports that NYU Langone has paused providing gender affirming care to new patients under the age of 19. Please read my full statement.

Thank you Sen. Gonzalez!

Thank you, Rep. Nadler. Your support is appreciated, and I look forward to working with you to see what we can do to protect trans New Yorkers

This is leadership we need. Great thread

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.

The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.

It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

An important announcement from the Governor of Illinois.

Front page of the nyt

In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server.

Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding

PANEL 1: MATTIE looks over at a guy in the near foreground. MATTIE: Screw you man! Get away from me. PANEL 2: Reverse shot. The GUY is wearing a sandwich board that says I'LL KILL YOU MATTIE GUY: Wow. No need to talk to me like that! I'm just minding my own business. PANEL 3: The GUY, getting angry. GUY: i'm becoming radicalized against you in fact! PANEL 4: The guy, chasing MATTIE offscreen. GUY: You should have been nicer to me!!!

Trump’s Gender Order Won't Affect Existing Passports — Unless They’re Renewed “They can still apply to renew their passport — they just have to use their God-given sex, which was decided at birth,” the White House press secretary told NOTUS.

Major news breaking from NOTUS on Trump’s trans passport ban:

It will not be retroactive.

Very glad I and others encouraged people to get their passports in the lead up to Trump’s inauguration.

Now hopefully this EO is defeated in court.

TLDR: There is nothing enforceable for the immediate future. It will take months or years to implement this via rulemaking or bureaucratic changes which are then subject to legal challenge. While it's worrying, there's no immediate change yet for most trans people. Do not comply in advance.

Graphic showing the Four Freedoms endorsement of Ben Wetzler.

Last night we held our first endorsement meeting of the year. We're proud to announce that the Four Freedoms Democratic Club endorsed Ben Wetzler for City Council, District 4.

The image is from a "Transparency Center" document and lists guidelines regarding acceptable and prohibited content for insults. It mentions: 1. Insults about: Character, such as cowardice, dishonesty, criminality, and sexual promiscuity or immorality. Mental characteristics, including but not limited to accusations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, as well as unsupported comparisons among politically correct (PC) groups based on inherent intellectual traits. 2. Highlighted section: The document allows allegations of mental illness or abnormality when tied to gender or sexual orientation, referencing political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality. It also acknowledges the non-serious use of terms like "weird."

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.
