I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

When I say my dad is the coolest, this is precisely what I mean. “Duppy Doug Wendt”’s mixtapes for Mandela. 💖💖💖

I tried to do what we call, if I may be so bold, a "conceptual scoop"!! Pls read my story on the most overlooked form of extreme confinement of farmed animals—the routine caging of millions of dairy calves in tiny crates less than 1/10 the size of a parking spot. It's not about veal! (🧵)

After officials did nothing with the information from the first bestseller, which contains the Trump/Epstein rape documents, I wrote a new book about the methods they use to manage evidence. One is feigning shock to avoid accountability. They're doing it again now. www.sarahkendziorbooks.com

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.

That snippet is ridiculous. Epstein was a sell-out. His closest confidante (Bannon) was a whole antisemite who didn't want his kids going to a school with too many Jewish students. White supremacy created Epstein. And people are clearly offering up antisemitism so they don't have to part with it.

I'm not going to lie - it's extremely troubling to me that this law and its obvious implications hasn't dominated national news for the weeks since its passing.

Relevant. encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/t...

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

In addition to being a very uncomfortable dog whistle, this framing is completely the wrong lesson to take from the Epstein news. It’s about how widespread and pervasive misogyny and sexual abuse really are. This framing lets most of society off the hook too easily.

something abled people don't get is you can have just one day a week where you are too sick to work, and that's enough to disqualify you from nearly all full-time jobs. it doesn't take a lot

I don't even know how to conceive of this, this looks like a circuit diagram of evil or something, the fuck are we doing

*drowning in a flood because an explosion on the moon has obliterated 10 miles of coastline*: I bet Deutsche Bank feels real silly now.

Not sure if this is the case but holy shit was it the case with Jan 6 when EVERYONE agreed it was one of the worst things Ever and then Dems… let millions of people just lose interest in a matter of weeks

Everyone here has had to decide what they will and won’t do. Will you take someone in your house? Will you bring them groceries? Will you patrol streets with a whistle? Will you do some other kind of work, of which there are many. And how many of these types.

I wrote about these warehouses in the context of Friday's Fifth Circuit mandatory-detention ruling over the weekend here: www.lawdork.com/p/fifth-circ...

the confirmation of contemporary transphobia as a political movement has been the brainchild of a boys club made up of some of the most disgusting monsters in recent memory to explicitly keep trans women disenfranchised so as to subjugate and exploit us for their own sexual gain is like a lot, dawg

Sense making, interdisciplinary, quantitative, and qualitative research , future studies , design, systems Are all part of the world . They became very elite studies And it’s terrible because they are integral in us interacting

Observation: When grief makes us want to recreate the dead, this often drives us to creative impulses. When your mom dies, you might remember her by painting a portrait of her, or writing down your favorite memories of her, or planting a garden because she loved gardening.

Anne Frank likely died in a typhus epidemic that spread through the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp History rhymes, it rhymes Close the camps, set fire to the prisons

I really want people to check in with the organizations that have been pushing back on surveillance for 10+ years. Just to be blunt, there are a lot of folks who realized yesterday that surveillance is bad and many are suggesting well-intentioned but misguided strategies for fighting it talk to us

no fan of jeffries, but holy shit is this article misleading. in the press briefing he calls for "a prohibition that DHS cannot *detain* or deport American citizens", and his focus throughout the briefing is on the detainment part

Opposition party doing so good that they’re gonna pass a law that exists already and tell us it’s a win 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Um. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social it's already against the law to deport American citizens. What are we even doing here?

Update: The Trans bathroom bounty hunter bill in Kansas has just passed the Kansas House. They have rushed it to the Senate for passage. If it passes, the most extreme anti-trans bill in the nation is about to be sent to the Governor's desk. Live here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzwe...

this story quotes: - A trump ambassador - A museum run by Trump appointees - Stop Antisemitism, an organization funded by right-wing donors ... aaannnnddd that's it! Not a single scholar of the Holocaust. Not anyone unaffiliated with Walz' political opponents.

the thing about white liberal Americans is that they'll argue to accept bigots into their tent before accepting the bigots' targets. the targets that have been on the same side as white liberals from the jump.

I said what I said about the silly people who say, "But there has to be a path back for MAGA folk!🤡" There has always been a path back. It's never been an issue at all. Many anti-MAGA folk spent some part of their life on the hateful side. But the path back involves repair. Undoing harm. Like this.

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

On one side: a thick stack of all the endless paperwork necessary for a disabled person to fill out over a year to get housing, food, meds, etc On the other side: a few pages of paperwork necessary for MAiD. As long as no one works to reduce the former to zero, the latter will *always* be eugenics

I designed and 3d printed spinner rims for my daughter’s stroller with a custom “dub” x uppababy logo.

I’m enjoying it here. But also mindful of people, mostly marginalized, who are already getting Twitter-style abuse here. In 2009/2010, their pain was ignored. I was there. It happened to me. If you don’t want this place to be one Xitter? Protect, love and advocate for those people.
