This has likely fallen under the radar with all of Trump’s Epstein scandal and lawsuits. But read this (especially if somehow you’re a district judge). A great breakdown of a smart ruling by a lower court judge after SCOTUS used the shadow docket to overturn the judge’s ruling to benefit POtUS

Her club was frequented by celebrities, but most importantly, it was a sanctuary for Black LGBTQ+ people.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

I live a few hundred yards from the Cuyahoga River. This is what it looked like in 1969 before the EPA:

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence. This is a campaign of eradication. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/rcna...

The headline that 21 DOGE staffers have resigned is a little misleading. These were employees of the United States Digital Service, which existed pre-administration and was absorbed into Musk’s team. These aren’t the young idiots; these are actual civil servants.

Twenty-one members of the United State DOGE Service have resigned, they said in an anonymous letter, citing DOGE's ongoing work dramatically reshaping the federal government.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

NEW: President Donald Trump has given Elon Musk sweeping authority to overhaul the U.S. government bureaucracy and its operations around the globe. ProPublica confirmed the identities and roles of more than 20 key people affiliated with Musk.

‼️ The State Department has REMOVED TQIA+ on their page of recommendations for queer travelers. This page yesterday said "LGBTQIA+" and now just says "LGB". The federal government is trying to erase trans people from existence.

President Jimmy Carter was celebrated today for his personal humility and public service before, during and after his presidency at Washington National Cathedral. I'm old enough to remember his presidency. Jimmy was one of the few politicians who I BELIEVED when he spoke. Rest in peace, sir.

Stop calling children “underage women”

I guess the CEO didn't want to get shot.

A thread everyone can learn from.

People seem to forget...

A little reminder for all those who say segregation was “so long ago”: Ruby Bridges, the first black child to attend an all-white elementary school, is still alive and well.

So the guy raking in $71 million an hour since Election Day gets to decide if your $1,900 Social Security check, something you’ve paid your whole life for, is "too much" and better spent on his shiny space toys? How detached from reality one must be to buy that?

STEM academics: did you have to navigate your way out of a toxic lab in graduate school? If so, how did you do it? I'm writing about this and would love to hear your story (on or off record). Thanks! Shares appreciated.

New in PN: "I wish more Dems would ask themselves, 'How can we stand for more?' instead of 'How can we stand for less?' It seems, unfortunately, folks that advise the party learned the wrong lessons ... standing for less is not the solution." -- @evangreer.bsky.social

Let today’s Capitol Hill bathroom sit-in spark an era of radical defiance. Trans folks refuse to bow to hate and bigotry. We demand dignity and respect. We will fight like our ancestors. We are building with our elders and peers. And trans youth will inherit a better world. 📸: Alexa Wilkinson

#ClownCabinet #PedoParty

Trans folks held a dance party in the Capitol bathroom to protest the bathroom ban on there.

In other words, if you don't know what you're talking about, consider shutting your yap.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!
