Tylenol does not cause autism. Autistic kids do not need to be cured. Okay thanks bye.

Did this man just appropriate MeToo as a weapon of the anti-vax murder movement? Did he actually just do this? My fcking god.

Repealing paid sick leave endangers rural Missouri families and hospitals, Abby Ehrhardt writes for @missouriindependent.com. “Sick workers forced onto the job do not just endanger themselves. We all pay when staff work sick.” missouriindependent.com/2025/09/22/r... #MOLeg #MOGov #ProtectPaidSick

The FY26 NDAA is about readiness, not culture war. The House bill’s anti-LGBTQIA+ riders weaken the force by excluding talent and undercutting cohesion. The Senate should strip these riders and pass a clean, bipartisan NDAA — that’s the only path that serves our national interest.

#BREAKING: Over dissents from Justices Sotomayor, Kagan & Jackson, #SCOTUS grants a stay in the Slaughter case (allowing President Trump to remove the last Dem member of the FTC), *and* grants certiorari "before judgment" to decide whether to formally overrule its 1935 ruling in Humphrey's Executor.

A gender lens remains one of the best ways to understand far right authoritarian regimes. Male order is imposed through a family-like structure, with women subservient and children taught that fear is the price of belonging www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Not that we needed further proof the Trump admin attack on Fed Governor Lisa Cook is bullshit…but the Trump admin attack on Fed Governor Lisa Cook is bullshit

See how fucking easy it is? People think Zohran's appeal is his "social media skills" but the guy just has better values than most of you!

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

I am pleased to report that Hawaii Supreme Court Justice Todd Eddins has dropped another total evisceration of the Supreme Court. He says originalism is a fraud—and the Republican justices are shamelessly making up facts and history to impose radical Christian nationalism: slate.com/news-and-pol...

Adjusting for inflation, Congress is funding the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission less than 45 years ago. Meanwhile, it’s receiving 60% more complaints. This agency is tasked with enforcing protections for workers against employment discrimination. nationalpartnership.org/congress-kee...

NEW: Hours before a new entry ban is supposed to go into effect, the federal government officially acknowledges for the first time that the restrictions do NOT apply to people who currently have H-1B visas. Link: www.uscis.gov/sites/defaul...

Or just two meetings with Tom Homan.

Maria Ressa going on the Daily Show and being like, "we tried to warn you [colonizers] this shit you created is bad and self-destructive [but you never listen brown people and women]" is basically the story of "western civilization" in a nutshell

Have had a great time repping the country’s 75 million working women at Trades Women Build Nations and hearing from all these badass women in the building trades. Follow @the75million.bsky.social and join us here act.nationalpartnership.org/a/the-75-mil...

The new MAHA report recommends that the United States increase its breastfeeding rates. But the report makes no mention of a federal paid parental leave program that experts in breastfeeding / caregiving say could make a difference. My latest for @19thnews.org: 19thnews.org/2025/09/gove...

Go fash, lose cash

At Trade Women Build Nations hearing from women in the building trades about how #CareCantWait and how women in the trades need policies like #PaidLeave4All

Seriously, just look at Missouri, where an abortion rights ballot measure outperformed Democrats in 2024, because abortion rights are popular, and now their Republican legislature wants to override voters to put a repeal on the ballot next election, an attack on democracy.

LMAO at these we need to listen to hate takes. As a brown queer Muslim from a small Midwestern town, the sole person of color in my school, my survival has required understanding and centering people who are different from me. Just bc that didn’t turn me centrist doesn’t mean I didn’t do this work🙄

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation. i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

In my book #TheDoubleTax, which dropped this week, there is one IMPORTANT takeaway and i'll repeat it here: THERE IS NO WORLD WHERE BLACK WOMEN AND WOMEN OF COLOR LOSE AND ANYONE WINS. Our fates are tethered. Either we all win or we all lose. Get the book: annagifty.com

The H1-B visa thing is, like everything else in the Trump administration, set up to carve up exceptions for friends and punish enemies. It’s the authoritarian thru-line that stitches everything together.

New @businessweek.bsky.social feature: On a budget of $1 per American, NIOSH conducts or funds most US research on how to keep workers alive & well. The Trump Administration decided to blow it up. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature... Based on interviews with 40+ current/recent staff throughout NIOSH

She’s not waiting, she’s leading. Inspiring to be in community with these badass women at a time the Trump administration is threatening their industries, unions, and the apprenticeship programs and pathways to good jobs that got them here.

We must all LOUDLY reject this bigoted proposal. Transgender people are not the enemy. They are scapegoating our neighbors and loved ones. We must fight together against their efforts to strip us all of our safety, freedom, and bodily autonomy.

RIP U.S. innovation. Between gutting the H-1B program, purging US scientists from civil service, slashing research grants, and disappearing international students off the streets, our government has made a conscious decision to kill America's roll as a global leader in science and innovation.

Donald Trump wants the United States to fail.

To add a bit more to this with research I've been working on. If you take @claudia-sahm.bsky.social style recession indicator methods and apply it to unemployment rates of black women, you find @itsafronomics.bsky.social #DoubleTax like conclusions, whereby black women experience recessions first.

After months of smearing this guy as a possible terrorist or terrorist supporter who they needed to eject as soon as possible back to Egypt, the trump administration today filed a motion in court basically going, eh nvm Glorious taxpayer funded use of time www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Co-founder @nicolefroio.bsky.social wrote about Jair Bolsonaro's conviction for an attempted coup d'état in Brazil--and why the USA should try similar mechanisms to protect democracy.

Thank you to the 58 NO votes. What's glaring is how few white Democrats voted no.

Trumpism combines a promise of blamelessness to its adherents with an obsessive paranoia about contagion and contamination. Nothing is your fault, you are surrounded by agents of infection. Trans people become the ideal scapegoat in this scenario, a perfectly diabolic alien other.

Paid family and medical leave is personal. It’s about guaranteeing dignity and peace of mind for workers and families as they face the inevitable challenges of life, from the demanding joys of welcoming a child into your family to the terror of a serious illness.

This month we are asking who you do the work for, who you fight for—billionaire backers and wealthy corporations, or working families and our future? In difficult times, this movement gives me hope. #PaidLeaveForAll is about all we share and what matters most, and I believe it is the path forward.

So, a university president fired a professor because they taught a course that discussed there being more than two genders, and now the university president is being fired for not having fired the professor quickly enough, is where we're at. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/u...

1) the tax records clearly show she listed the property as a vacation home 2) real rich to read actual convicted felon Trump baselessly accuse someone of “deceitful and potentially criminal conduct in a financial matter”

NEW: Trump administration asks SCOTUS to intervene in the Lisa Cook case

These are precedented times and the precedent is a loud ass warning www.nytimes.com/1939/02/04/a...

HI!!! check us out: the-flytrap.ghost.io

Losing my ever-loving-mind watching the same people who were just clutching their pearls claiming censorship over mean emails from WH staffers to Twitter about COVID misinfo are now HAVING THE FCC CHAIR openly threaten broadcast licenses over a joke about the president AND THE BROADCASTERS CENSOR IT

Respectfully disagree: 1) in fact it is unusual for a democracy w/ this level of GDP to turn authoritarian & so quickly; 2) the weakness of both institutions (congress & courts) and individuals (Schumer etc) is shocking. Would take less than 10 people in congress or 2 SC justices to stop all this.

Seriously, though. Absolute horror show here. And yet another reminder — as if they were still needed — that capitulating gets you nothing beyond letting Trump know you’re willing to capitulate.

And this is how the Trump admin will subsidize Prager U 🤮 www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

bro just one more billionaire funded group arguing for milquetoast centrism. bro please just one more, we'll throw gay people to the wolves this time too bro, not just trans ones. bro im begging you

Trump's policies are hurting everyone except for the richest 1%. "New Golden Age" for whom?

Trump is doubling down on his unprecedented effort to eliminate the Fed’s independence, not only continuing his baseless attack on Governor Cook but also inserting his current economic advisor as a governor. Trump’s bottomless thirst for power continues to be at the expense of Americans’ wallets.

"The National Partnership cares about this issue for a variety of reasons but we care about it because we care, in particular, about women. Women are often the ones making due for our policy failures...We have an economy that's built on their backs." @npwf.bsky.social
