The problem is not that we can’t impeach the president. Although we can and should. The real problem is that we can’t impeach Stephen Miller because we never elected or confirmed him.

Fascinating article on UC Berkeley / Stanford research into 1) what leads someone to be transphobic, and 2) what leads them into empathizing with trans people. The answer was interesting - it's not sharing more info/stats, it's connecting over stories of struggle/ love. medium.com/transforming...

1. A few days ago, we reported that New Jersey Democrats were running out of time to pass their trans shield/sanctuary bill. Sadly, it would appear New Jersey Dems failed to do so, making them one of the only blue states without such protections. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Hey everyone, We literally just added 100 more trans girl scouts to the trans girl scout cookie list. The list is bigger than it has ever been in EITM history. Go get some cookies and make a trans scout's day!

The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

The world has gone mad. #JusticeForReneeGood #FuckTrump

Yes, the news is dark. You don’t have to stop feeling anger. But here’s one way to stop BECOMING the feeling. youtube.com/shorts/gWlVJ...

@warren.senate.gov if you stand with LGBTQ+, you need to withdraw support for KOSA and listen to the major concerns of LGBTQ+ people. Kids' safety / privacy online is very important- AND this is written so broadly it will be used for anti-LGBTQ censorship + invasive cyber data monitoring for adults.

experiencing the northern lights properly for the first time yesterday 🌌 they were visible to the naked eye (just less vivid, but still extremely stunning) and it was only around 15:30

trump is going to cause: 1: A Civil War in the USA 2: A war between the USA and Europe 3: A war between the USA and Europe, Mexico, and Canada 4: or ALL of the Above. trump IS WORKING FOR PUTIN. PUTIN WANTS ALL OF THIS. AMERICANS DON'T FUCKING WANT ANY OF THIS.

Find a good movie to watch, or read a good book for a couple of hours. Doom scrolling is something else right now. 2026 just got real. The fight against fascism is here, right now. Take a break every now and then. It is going to be a long year.

1. Texas A&M has banned a philosophy teacher from teaching Plato because it has "gender ideology" in it. The banning stems from excerpts from Plato’s Aristophanes’ Myth of the Split Humans and Diotima’s Ladder of Love. Subscribe to support our journalism.

let's interrupt the cycle of trauma!

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.

A very long and important THREAD - The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974. And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself. Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine. No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment. Impeach. Convict. Remove.

Trump is simultaneously protecting his friends in the Epstein files and enriching his friends by invading Venezuela. The two highest priorities of the current administration.

You cannot cheer America’s illegal attack on Venezuela while condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s threats against Taiwan. Selective application of international law means no rule of law.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply. I want to make sure this is very clear.

Doesn't it strike you as strange that the people who shout long and loud that America is a Christian nation founded on Christian principles are the very people who don't want Christ's teachings of tolerance, pacifism, and generosity codified in law?

Merry Christmas everyone from Zooey and I :) To the trans and queer readers, know you are all part of a community that looks out for each other and holds space when so few others do. And I know days like today can be tough. So please feel free to spend as much time here if you need to get away 💜

on the vocabulary of the soul: there are deeper, more true things, than what we can see.

First Christmas with the kitten and... #caturday

For Jesus’ birthday this year, he’s asking for affordable housing, universal healthcare, and for people to stop using his name to explain why they’re being cruel to strangers.

Incidentally, I am by no means a doomer, but it does feel a little doomy to me that Mitt Romney and Bill Kristol are taking political positions well to the left of the highest-ranking congressional Democrats.

Mitt Romney was apparently visited early by 3 ghosts.

I haven't felt anything near patriotic pride in years, but I could get behind this guy's reimagining of a new pledge that captures a better version / hopeful future for my country. /1 youtu.be/vAzLZ3RE4E4?...

The 6 richest men in the world are all Trump allies. They control your algorithms and data on X, TikTok, Twitch, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Threads, and YouTube. Just in case you’re wondering why more isn’t done to stop right-wing bots and misinformation on social media.

We are spending $1 trillion every year on the military. That's more than the next NINE nations combined. Meanwhile, millions lack health care & we have the highest childhood and senior poverty rate of almost any major country. Congress needs to get its priorities straight.

While these states have laws against discrimination, those laws are useless if they are not enforced, and it appears state AGs have completely abandoned transgender people even in blue states while institutions capitulate to Trump. www.erininthemorning.com/p/suing-trum...

Shockingly, this bill would have failed were it not for the 3 Democrat defections.

While we were busy with the US Congress, major international news on trans healthcare. A New Zealand court announced an injunction on the far-right trans health care ban there. The court says that the biggest danger is posed by banning care. Big story for us from @transvestigations.bsky.social

not exactly surprised that Disney is doing a Gaston movie at this time in history, lol. "What if that violent, charismatic misogynist who hates reading had something to him?" is not exactly an exciting question right now. Especially written & directed by men.

My most recent tumble! I got more bruising this time on some of them but I'm still generally happy with them.

Trump says it's an A++++ economy. He's right. His billionaire friends have never had it better. If you're a working class person: 👉60% live paycheck to paycheck 👉Grocery prices at record highs 👉Premiums to double for 20+ million The economy must work for all, not just the 1%
