AOC: I was watching earlier today on TV, someone was saying, “Why are AOC and Bernie going to Idaho?” I’ll give you one simple answer: It’s because you matter

I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release. Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.

Tom Homan claims this made Boston safer. Making immigrants fearful to leave their houses is the opposite of safety. These are our neighbors, our community members, our workers, our friends. And they are being terrorized by people with hearts full of hate. Hate makes no one safer. 6/

Many electeds have contentious town halls. But when you lead like @pressley.house.gov, you get standing ovations.

NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more. The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law. No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.

Not for nothing,

I know this is absurd, but the propaganda works in because of the absurdity rather than in spite of it. While this quote is about antisemitism, it readily applies to most forms of bigotry.

FUCK YEAH thank you to everyone who called and wrote your reps on this! it WORKS if your rep voted no, please contact them again and THANK THEM FOR DEFENDING TRANS PEOPLE so they keep doing it! this is a really big win. 🩷😭

This is, quite literally, what Trump got impeached for the first time (he illegally paused money for Ukraine and extorted Zelenskyy, trying to get him to conduct a sham investigation into Biden)

I actually think the dems should attend the SOTU, wait till the 2nd sentence, and then walk out en masse, that'll do it, there'll be no address, he'll just have a meltdown on national Tv

I think you are likely to have some good org support on this platform. Hope to see you more! Valuable panel. Solidarity DOES feel like being accompanied through the uncertainty. ❤️‍🔥

So energized being at the BU Conference on the Jewish Left, surrounded by beloveds, comrades, & teachers. To follow along at home, register & watch the livestream. RN Simone Zimmerman is bringing us into her story of wrestling w/ Zionism w/profound empathy & vulnerability. www.bu.edu/cura/recent-...

After publishing this story, which features a picture of the protest at Children's National in DC, I have been informed that moments ago, Childrens National in DC has resumed transgender care. The hospital protests worked! Keep doing them!

Dear Democratic Party: why are you not screaming this from every rooftop? Why are you not holding press conferences with these poor fired people - putting a face on what the richest man is destroying?

A message to Jewish Americans, especially our leaders, please join us in this appeal to Vice President Vance: Until you condemn the many connections to neo-Nazis in your new administration, please stay off of the sacred ground upon which our parents and grandparents were slaughtered.

Really looking forward to the 2nd Annual Conference on the Jewish Left, especially my chance to talk with @joware.bsky.social and @audrey-sasson.bsky.social! Feb 28th. In person and online. Register here: www.bu.edu/cura/the-jew...

haven't had a chance to read Trümp's latest executive order, but pretty sure it ignores every point I make in this comprehensive essay: "Trans People and Sports: Everything You Need to Know" on Substack: juliaserano.substack.com/p/trans-peop... & Medium: juliaserano.medium.com/trans-people...

Popular or not Dems cannot bend on the need for trans people to be treated with basic humanity and respect. If we give up that because the right made trans people unpopular, we give up everything. They’ll dice us group by group like a salami. We die on this hill or we die alone in a ditch

Absolutely devastating what just happened in DC. Praying for all those affected in the plane-crash. 🫶 This just goes to show why we cannot defund the FAA.

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked." She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.

Reminder for all cisgender people who strive to be trans allies: Trans people cannot take our solidarity, support, allyship for granted. Millions of cis people have demonstrated they are willing to accept the scapegoating & dehumanization of trans people. We are all suspect until proven otherwise.

Elon literally just incorporated a company called The United States of America in Texas. He wants to privatize the US and be the CEO dictator of the world. It sounds insane to even suggest but it's clear what he's moving towards.

Combine this with his control over cars that act like surveillance, internet for millions of people, and a social network Musk will effectively control a panopticon that can be used to surveil and control the population as a private citizen.

I mean this when I say Elon is the most dangerous man in the world. Truly supervillain level of danger.

1. Yesterday, Trump released a broad anti-trans executive order that could have extreme impacts on transgender people's lives if implemented. There has been much discussion of what it actually does. In my latest piece, I go line by line to explain it. Subscribe to support my journalism.

It's going to take a lot courage but courage is contagious. Refusing to live in fear is freedom in a fascist state. That doesn't mean you can't feel afraid, but it means overcoming it. It means putting your job, your livelihood, your comfort on the line. Solidarity for others is paramount.

The most powerful words you can say right now to these fascist bastards is: "No, make me." They cannot actually be everywhere and enforce their fascist policies. They rely on fear to do the job of governing for them. By refusing to comply, you make their means of compliance ineffective.

As we enter this new, old, terrifying era, please remember - every story doesn't actually have 2 sides. #Journalism #MSM

If you are good while the Books of Life are open between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, Santa HaShem sometimes gives gifts like this graphic, with the words gamar hasima tova — the confusing mishmash of advisors happening here, I can’t even— But we will soon spin the existential dreydel of atonement
