heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

A message from my friend Tasneem: "Please… you are my only hope. I’m trying to start again, but life in Gaza has become unbearable — everything is hard, expensive, and medicine is scarce. My home was destroyed, and I only dream of rebuilding it… I just want a safe shelter for my children and a secure future for them. I rely on your kind hearts — after God, you are my only support.Every donation, no matter how small, brings me one step closer to life again. 🙏"

Tasneem's youngest daughter, Alma.

A message below from my dear friend Tasneem in Gaza.

The civilians in Gaza are homeless and hungry. We're their only voice and means of survival.

Please give to Tasneem so she can feed her children and raise funds to escape Gaza. And find and help others. ❤️🙏

it's pretty funny the sheer number of people who, seconds into the second trump administration, decided the time was ripe to go full fash instead of waiting a little bit to see if people were actually cool with nazis now. every major company was like, we need to court the burgeoning nazi demographic

By refusing to negotiate and ripping away ACA tax credits, Congressional Republicans are putting PROFITS OVER PEOPLE.

Working people can't afford even higher healthcare costs.

Trump and Congressional Republicans have betrayed the American people. #HealthcareHeist

Reminder that this is a winning position, and people support it

They are not going to be ready for 2028.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

The video now rapidly circulating (which also does not have a date or time marked) does not blur this poor woman's face. Here's one that does:

Now that they've blurred the face, this video needs to break out of the Bluesky bubble. This is the one to send to your out-of-state folks who don't know what's happening in Chicago.

Harvard Gazette: Gazette: “You are the mother of two In ten years you have produced three novels and two short-story collections. Can you talk about your process and how you manage work and family?” Groff: “I understand that this is a question of vital importance to a lot of people, particularly to other mothers who are artists trying to get their work done, and know that I feel for everyone in the struggle. But until I see a male writer asked that question, I am going to respectfully decline to answer it.”

Want to Know How Democrats Should Handle Trans Rights? Ask Zohran Mamdani The 33-year-old socialist just crushed Andrew Cuomo by doing what many national Democrats won't: having convictions.

*dusts this piece off* www.readtpa.com/p/want-to-kn...

Now that Mamdani has to govern, "this might scare the Democratic establishment: not because Mamdani could fail, but because he could succeed. Perhaps the only thing they would hate more than bad socialist government, one suspects, is good socialist government." 💥🎯 @moiradonegan.bsky.social

Gerrymanders make things harder but much, much more brittle. Given a big-enough wave and they make the landslide worse. Trump and co are dumb enough to screw this up.

I been saying. And more every day.

SUPPORTING TRANS PEOPLE IS NOT A LOSING ISSUE, YOU HAVE YOUR DATA NOW

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

To quote Brad Lander: good fucking riddance

the entire twitter and group chat poisoned elite of American society who decided Trump winning an election by 1.5% heralded a thousand year reich may have miscalculated a bit

Sobering news for a lot of top Democrats, tonight, as they realize people would prefer they actually fucking do something.

Dems still keeping distance from this guy are looking not only cowardly but profoundly delusional

He’s *REALLY* good at this.

You have to survive. There are graves to piss on that haven't been dug yet.

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

Just want to see one (1) news story on how toxic the Republican brand is among average, everyday Northeast urbanites, and how that should be seen as a major crisis for Republicans. Unfortunately I won’t bc this is still a country where cows and empty land get strong political representation

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

The Illinois legislature had passed the “Illinois Bivens Act,” allowing people to sue ICE agents in state court. Just waiting for Pritzker’s signature.

"A Stunning Rebuke Of Anti-Trans Politics"—Dems Win Elections Nationwide Despite Anti-Trans Ads As election results poured in on Tuesday night, it became clear that Democrats were winning nationwide against anti-trans opponents.

From Erin Reed: Loudoun County—from which Trump threated to withhold fed funding for upholding restroom access—rejected anti-trans Rep & elected 2 trans rights Dems.--incl. one who represented trans students in court against outgoing anti-trans Rep Gov Glenn Youngkin.
