Inviting radical organizations like Turning Point USA and individuals committed to dismantling equitable public education like Education Sec. Linda McMahon to give an assembly is neither "meaningful" nor "nonpartisan." It is dangerous and unethical.

A photo of workers at Individualized Shirts, a shirt factory in New Jersey. Each person has their fist in the air as a sign of solidarity. There's a sign behind them with photos and the words: "Fair Contract Now."

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵

If you are in the National Guard and fear you may be deployed to violate the rights of US citizens, there is help. Call the GI Rights Hotline at 1-877-447-4487

The Sherrill-Caldwell Transition public input survey is officially live! As we build this administration focused on lowering costs, I want to make sure I’m hearing directly from you. Fill it out here: nj.gov/govelect/survey

Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.

Please help out if you can, these cases take a lot of hours and sunk costs, it makes it a lot easier for me to fight for underserved communities if I can justify the time away from paid work.

It's that time...
Put your turkey in the fridge to defrost! Now.
You're welcome!

While everyone's paying attention to the Epstein files, a big story just broke about another alleged human trafficker with ties to Trump — Andrew Tate:

Remember Jamal Khashoggi.

Can N.J. curb costs without selling its soul? A $1B pipeline shows the dilemma. New Jersey's energy future is stuck between a pipeline and a hard place.

new for @starledger.bsky.social, I spoke with @newjerseypolitics.bsky.social , several nonprofits and gov’t officials about a heated proposal to build a gas pipeline under part of #NewJersey and New York. It comes after an election in which affordability and utility rates were dominant themes.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

@corybooker.com Don't vote yes!

@booker.senate.gov Do not vote yes. Save the ACA. Don't be a squishy!

@andykimnj.bsky.social Don't vote yes. Save the ACA!

@kim.senate.gov Don't vote yes. Hold the line on ACA.

SNAP benefits were loaded onto cards yesterday in #NJ.

To whatever extent I can help @tommalinowski.bsky.social get elected, I will. I hope you'll give Tom’s candidacy a fair shot. We need him — now.

After the Feast: A Turkey Leftovers Cookbooklet - Iva Cheung After a couple decades of editing and indexing cookbooks, I took a stab at writing (a small!) one. After the Feast brings together 25-ish of my favourite ways to use up the leftovers from big turkey d...

With 🇺🇸 Thanksgiving being 3 weeks away and SNAP being a shit show—but with some retailers and nonprofits offering turkeys for low or no cost—I'd love to get my free cookbook #AfterTheFeast to as many folks as possible.
