STORY SOURCE CALL: I’m looking for Brown University-affiliated trans/gnc people (especially trans/gnc alumni, students, staff) and any others who feel affected by the university’s transphobic actions and are interested in speaking with me for a potential upcoming reported piece. (If you’ve not read them already, check out my Boston Globe op-ed blasting the university’s administration, as well as my Assigned Media essay about my time as a closeted trans student back when.) For those who want to share their stories and are concerned for whatever reason, you can request anonymity if you like in your initial email. Please write me via my contact form.
I'm once again asking anyone else who's trans/gnc affiliated with Brown University who wants to speak on record to please reach out ...

reposts/sharing this with anyone you know is greatly appreciated, thanks!

'A library should have something for everyone': Library sets events for Banned Books Week
In honor of "Band Books Week," the Worcester Public Library will celebrate “the freedom to read” all afternoon on Oct. 11.
"... in Massachusetts, challenges to books are most common at school libraries, where parents tend to complain about books that address LGBT issues and race."

Gavin Newsom would take a puppy from an orphan, rip the puppy apart with his bare hands and eat it while the orphan screamed if he thought it would win him one vote in Wisconsin.

Man all I’m thinking is if this was the reaction Biden had when Alito was waving an insurrection flag outside his house.

Sen. PADILLA: This Justice Department fired a 15-year career prosecutor who put away sex traffickers and transnational terrorists. She was marched out of her office. Why? Because she had the audacity to remind Border Patrol that it should follow court orders.

In coordination with the Federal Government of Somalia, U.S. Africa Command conducted an airstrike targeting ISIS-Somalia on Oct. 3, 2025.
The airstrike occurred in the vicinity of the Golis Mountains, approximately 60 km southeast of Bossaso.
AFRICOM, alongside the Federal Government of Somalia and Somali Armed Forces, continues to take action to degrade ISIS-Somalia's ability to threaten the U.S. Homeland, our forces, and our citizens abroad.
Specific details about units and assets will not be released to ensure continued operations security.
In addition to bombing make believe terrorists (otherwise known as the premeditated killing of civilians) in the Caribbean, the Trump administration also continues to bomb ISIS-Somalia.
President of Peace!

Was talking to someone from another state yesterday who couldn’t believe it but yes, Ohio law not only requires public school buses to transport kids to private schools, it actually *prioritizes* public bussing for private school students over public school students. Total insanity.

Biden would have been entitled to lead a political campaign challenging Alito's fitness to sit in cases involving the administration. Garland had enough evidence to investigate Alito and Thomas for violations of federal law. But they were paralyzed by fear.

Honestly this whole thing has made me realize how valuable labor is because the United States Congress literally rather hand the keys of the entire government to a child rapist who tried to murder them rather than work Fridays.

He is awful but ICE and DHS would not have existed without the strong support of moderate Senate Democrats - including Joe Biden, of course.
Moderate Senate Dems were pushing Bush and Rs to create DHS.

White House Signals It May Try to Deny Back Pay to Furloughed Federal Workers
Not paying people remains one of the biggest through-lines of Trump's career.
That plus corruption, racism, and sexual assault.

I certainly would prefer that Mills were younger; but I don't think voters really care, when voting for a Senator.

A major difference is that age matters a lot less for a Senator.

Okay but the people who wanted government to be small also didn’t want certain people to get married so it’s not some sudden change of heart about what the role of government in society should be
