@sethmoulton.bsky.social, the very best thing you can do is to acknowledge & apologize for the harm your comments had caused and THEN talk about why your views have evolved. Pretending you did not make these comments is insulting to your constituents, especially those in the LGBTQIA+ community.

NEW: 26 states led by Mass. and Calif. are suing the Trump admin over Medicaid work requirements, arguing the mandate that people with cancer and other serious illnesses prove their inability to work violates what Congress intended & what states were promised by the feds oag.ca.gov/system/files...

Mamdani announces $15M for trans healthcare, includes launching a call/text resource support line. Notes city Law Dept filed an amicus brief against subpoenas for medical records.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which was gutted last year. If Bezos can spend $500M on a yacht, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

@saramchenry.bsky.social Hello! This seems incredibly up your household’s alley. edwardgoreyhouse.org/events/envel...

the rest of us fiction writers should go on strike until we get paid as much as these conservative opinion people

My fellow cis folks, The FCC is asking Americans to submit comments about whether the TV Oversight Management Board (TVOMB) should create new TV ratings to alert viewers to trans/gender content. Time to be an ally and tell the FCC absolutely the fuck not. It takes five minutes to do.

I KNEW we'd done a Juneteenth video! Found it, and I think it holds up. (I was determined to get in the "fled to Mexico" line even though it was a bit of a rabbit hole. 🙂 )

Happy Juneteenth! This is also your regular reminder to read Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments!

Did the New York Times just BOTH SIDES Ken Paxton's sweetheart deal for a child sex predator. Yes, yes it did.

I truly could not ask for a clearer example of what Republicans mean when they talk about “Judeo-Christian values.”

Meet Crumb, Button, and Clover. A friend in the Bay Area found them behind a gas station. Unfortunately, she isn't able to keep them, so if she can't find someone to adopt them, they will be going to a shelter. Can you help me find them a home? They are in good health and very tame.

Writers (and publishers!) please grasp this fundamental fact: A press should have two accounts. 1. Author royalties. These are to be spent on NOTHING. It's the author's money. 2. Publisher profits. This is what is used to run the press and pay the publisher. These stream never cross!

“Diversity stress” feels like corporate speak for “racism”

Seth Moulton used to boast about how he beat Tierney from the right. His challenge isn’t about moving the party forward. It is about having Gen X centrists take it over.

My only take on Maine, as a former resident for some years, is that you might be fooled into thinking coffee brandy is a delicious libation. Nope.

Today is the anniversary of the Supreme Court case that paved the way for legal contraception nationwide. Now, 61 years later, that right is under attack. That’s why I’m fighting to pass my Right to Contraception Act to protect the freedom to make decisions about your own health.
