Pizza beans.

Today is a beautiful day to do something kind for someone you love today.

Incredible content. No notes.

I was once run over by a herd of sheep.

Jesse Singal: “I don’t understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??”

A federal judge in Pittsburgh blocked the DOJ from forcing UPMC to hand over records of trans youth who received gender-affirming care. The ruling called the government’s stance “callous” and warned of overreach.

The New York attorney general's office has ordered NYU Langone to resume gender affirming care for trans youth due to violating New York Human Rights law. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/n... Bypass here. archive.ph/4NboB

Torturing trans women prisoners by executive fiat, and doubling down on said torture as soon as they attempt to fight back. This is what trans genocide in the USA right now looks like.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

the incentives here are so obscenely terrible that the entire thing should be illegal by default “I am sabotaging negotiations because I stand to make piles of money on Polymarket” is absolutely in play, what a horrifying clusterfuck

No war.

Happy birthday mom. I love you and wouldn’t be the woman I am today if it wasn’t for your love and support throughout my life. You have taught me so much about strength, passion, and what unconditional love means. Thank you for loving me and for being there whenever I need you. I love you.

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close! New: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

This is a coordinated strategy to make daily life impossible for transgender people. Not by banning us outright — but by slowly stripping away the documents we need to exist. No license. No stable ID. No safety in traffic stops. Constant threat of arrest.

Moon.

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

Congratulations to Erin, this is a huge acknowledgement of the work she has done locally, and such a tremendous loss for Allegheny County.

Margin: Mazzocco wins the district by 64 points (!) Former incumbent Dan Miller won it by 33 in 2024. Turnout around 26%. Mazzocco: 10,419 Leckenby: 2,330

The project was never bathrooms or sports it was and always will be about removing me and my community from public life entirely.

I can't even express how important it is to see someone who was willing to give up the thing she was best at, that some would say she was born to do. To only come back when she could love it again, and do it on her own terms. And then win a gold medal BECAUSE she found the joy and the fun in it.

I doubt that there's a more effective way to capture unitary executive theory in an image. And because it's the DOJ building, it also captures the notion that the President is above the law.

the problem with giving in on things that don't poll well is that as soon as the right wins on the the things that don't poll well, they move on and start lying about more popular things to manipulate public opinion, starting the cycle again.

Public comment on Dr Oz's proposed rules to ban gender-affirming care for youth closes 2/17 One rule bans hospital-based care, the other eliminates Medicaid/CHIP coverage Together they'd make care virtually unavailable nationwide, including in shield law states www.patreon.com/posts/149210...

Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.

I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.

This is what authoritarians are never gonna understand: average, everyday citizens do not like watching paramilitary thugs brutalize children. All the vaporware memes in the world can't fix that for them

ICYMI: I introduced my Trans Bill of Rights with @markey.senate.gov — legislation to defend trans people across this country as Republicans continue to push anti-trans rhetoric and bills. To our beloved trans community: We see you, we love you, and we will always stand with you.

"Pittsburgh’s medical systems should exercise bravery by supporting their staff and patients and resisting unconstitutional bans while they still can."

A few thoughts -- OK a bunch really -- based on this KDKA story on Kevin Acklin's frustration that efforts to "save the Post-Gazette" are being stymied by the seeming disinterest of its owners, the Block family... www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/n...

judge a quarterback by whether or not he defrauds millions of dollars from poor people

Happy Bad Bunny day to all who celebrate.

New foster babies. I’d love to see your babies too.

I’m just gonna say it. The people who would really benefit from seeing this monologue wouldn’t even begin to be able to understand it. Including the ones in power.

ICE now confirming that there is a measles outbreak at the Texas concentration camp where young Liam was held.

Should the Groundhog be the official animal of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania?

It’s 2026. There is a measles outbreak in the prison for babies

Happy Groundhog Day to all who celebrate.

Post cat.

A good friend in the Oakmont community just sent me this GoFundMe for the family of Jose Flores, an Oakmont dad, husband, and community member who was snatched by ICE in front of his 8 year old daughter while preparing to take her to school earlier this week. gofund.me/d91e23b4c

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.
