New: Gov. Hochul is set to propose an expansion of universal pre-K statewide, funding for Mayor Mamdani's 2-Care program and pilots of additional child care expansions in select parts of the state. The pair will be in BK this morning with more details www.cityandstateny.com/policy/2026/...

Trans Philadelphians are outraged after a South Street boutique received a warning from the FDA for selling breast binders. Plus, survivors of the Bristol nursing home say they smelled gas for hours.

In addition to this being a touching paean to NYC, Mamdani made a powerful statement of trans solidarity by featuring @berniew.bsky.social as his Inauguration Day announcer.

Tell me something, tell me something You don't know nothing, just pretend you do I need something, tell me something new

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia. It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

D'oh.

In Morrow County, healthy adults were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases that usually afflicted the elderly. In a survey of 30 homes, at least 25 miscarriages and a half dozen people living with one kidney were reported. 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Is there a law of physics that explains why people (and shopping carts) congregate in the narrowest gap of the room?

These bastards went to court and filed an amicus brief supporting the creation of a constitutional right to bully trans students. This is the inevitable result. It's what they wanted, more dead trans kids.

The overwhelmingly positive experiences of trans youth on puberty blockers

After being stuck in committee for four years, the Pa. Senate passed the CROWN Act Wednesday with a vote of 44-3. That means employers and school officials can’t bar people from jobs or schools for wearing their hair as it grows out naturally or choosing styles that protect it.

Remember, everything will be alright We can meet again somewhere Somewhere far away from here

I wrote about the exhaustion and dissonance of writing about TDOR for the past 15 years

We're not who we used to be We're not who we used to be We're just two ghosts swimming in a glass half empty Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat

Super pleased that this video is getting a little lift. It's a superb debunking of trans panic by Andrea Pitzer, and there's zero footage of Trump, which is Andrea's current ambition for the episodes.

There's a virtual event for journalists who cover trans issues being offered by @objectivejournos.bsky.social tomorrow. @valorievandieman.bsky.social interviewed the organizer and wrote about the event and its goals for Assigned Media today. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

American Gestapo. That is not hyperbole. That is our reality: people arrested and jailed for their speech. A retired policeman posted a Charlie Kirk meme. He spent a month in jail. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

For your own health and for the health of our planet please stop using nonstick cookware.

Senate Democrats should introduce a “Melissa Hortman day of remembrance” and see if Republicans object to it.

“A group of Delaware state senators and representatives joined other state-level officials from across the country at a four day conference in Israel called ‘50 States One Israel.’”

Please neighbor when I get home from my overnight trip stop flying that flag at half mast.

This is so Delaware, celebrating the acceleration of capitalism and concentration of wealth.

I'm honestly terrified of what the right will use this as justification for. They're itching to engage in violence against their enemies and this will give them the excuse to do so. This is why political violence is never acceptable. It just descends into uncontrollable chaos and more violence.

You can also ask your doctor to order a titer to assess your immunity (1967 baby here, titer showed MMR immunity, and it did for my mother too).

Anyone else think there is a typo in today's strands? I kept thinking they were trying to trick me. Strands #552 “In stiches” 🔵🔵🔵🔵 🔵🟡

Great. Nothing could go wrong here. Not like in 2008...

If you're wondering how things are for trans adults in DE (children's hospital stopped accepting new patients in June): "In early August, Planned Parenthood of Delaware announced that it would cut its behavioral health program, which included certain gender-affirming services as well as therapy."

If less than 2% of mass shootings are by trans people, but nearly all the rest are by cis white men…remind me again why we’re stripping rights from trans folxs instead of talking about gun reform and toxic masculinity?
