Bucks County ousts ALL Republicans from the Central Bucks and Pennridge school boards after both school boards were ground zero for anti-trans policies in 2021. The wave is receding.

"So to Donald Trump, if you are watching, and I know you are... I have four words for you. TURN THE VOLUME UP" *Loud cheers*

A moment of silence, please, for the "young men are all MAGA now" narrative. (Source: www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...)

Sobbing as Mamdani names the trans community explicitly as integral to my home city

What an excellent, inspiring speech from Mamdani. I haven’t felt chills like this… ever?

New statement from Chuck Schumer: “Despite not doing anything useful, and in fact being actively harmful to the process in a number of ways, I am here to take credit for other people’s hard work and risks.”

Feeling proud of my state for showing up for voting rights and to, ultimately, protect the most vulnerable communities

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

It’s almost like being a schoolyard bully and picking on the most vulnerable isn’t a winning strategy.

I sincerely hope Democrats pay attention to tonight’s results across the country. They won’t learn anything but still. Maybe. People are excited by change and original campaigns and bold ideas and candidates under the age of 50!

Y'all really used a photo from the 1992 riots in LA. What the smothered and covered fuck.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

What we are not going to do is pretend that we should be listening to Jillian Michael’s (a lesbian btw) airing lazy and incorrect talking points that shape her pathetic world view. Fuck her and the exercise mat she rode in on.

Republican support for gay marriage has fallen to 41%. For those in the LGBTQ+ community who do not believe they are coming after gay marriage next after their draconian anti-trans restrictions, you're in for a surprise - we are all in this together.

Disabled people are worthy of the same rights as anyone else. Yes, even those who can’t work or pay taxes. All disabled people matter!

These fuzzy socks that @choppstar.bsky.social gave me give me such sensory euphoria. Especially on a rainy day like today. #actuallyautistic #autistic

Fuck you, make me.

seeing clients in person is easier for my sensory needs vs. the light dimmer in my office seems to be broken #autistic #autistictherapist

he’s right and he’s right to say it

I reached out to Simple Practice with the same question (thanks for the example, Amy!) and they were also quick to respond.

This feels about right. We *are* trying though 🤷🏼 #therapy #mentalhealth #fucktrump

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

Tips for managing social anxiety (featuring advice from yours truly):

The VA’s ultimatum: Break HIPAA or lose your job. Meanwhile, veterans—1.5x more likely to die by suicide—get to choose between no privacy and dignity or no care. This is the malicious result of so-called DOGE 'efficiency', and no one deserves this treatment, let alone our veterans.

Everyone participating in marches tomorrow, be safe, stay hydrated and don’t engage any crazies trying to provoke you. This mom is proud of you and will be cheering you on!
