To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care: I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care.  Your health care is still legal and protected.  I'll always fight for you.

Gotta say, when you have to give a prime time speech because you have a "big sad" about your poll numbers, it's really saying something...

🚨 TOMORROW 🚨 MTG’s anti-trans bill H.R. 3492 would criminalize gender-affirming care for trans youth, targeting doctors & parents. Join L4GG’s Allison Chapman & Zane McNeill at 1pm ET to learn what you can do. Register: L4GG.org/ProtectTransYouth

Elimination status is already gone in Canada. We're very close. "The state has seen vaccination rates of its schools’ students decline from almost 96% in 2020 to 93.5% in 2025—for context, robust herd immunity from measles requires about 95% of the population to be vaccinated, according to the WHO"

On this Human Rights Day, I explore how the Supreme Court decision in Trump v. Orr–that prevents gender diverse people from obtaining accurate passports–violates our obligations under international human rights law and court precedent. www.lawyersforgoodgovernment.org/blog/2025/12...

Stripping a minority of rights in the dead of night is fascist behavior

Overnight, past 2 a.m., the Alberta United Conservative Party passed Bill 9, a bill to **strip away the right to life of trans youth** in order to impose on them a gender-affirming care ban. We’re assisting to the beginning of a humanitarian crisis, in Canada, in real time.

It is our right, it is our duty, to throw-off such government. It is the responsibility of our military to uphold their oaths. Many, many, arrests, prosecutions and new elections. It's written into our founding laws.

We are experiencing a civil war. Not one fought with guns and bullets but one fought with paper in legislatures and courts. The country has fractured into Blue and Red states, where your rights and protections vary widely. We are no longer one country, but two.

Parker nails it, as always.

We are back at the bargaining table! And it's been FIVE months. There is no time but the present, @transequality.bsky.social Let's Negotiate!

“Wisconsin lawmakers are escalating their war on privacy by targeting VPNs in the name of ‘protecting children’.” yes, really it won’t even work as people will just bypass those draconian laws by using non-commercial VPNs or find workarounds within hours.

We don't really know how bicycles work.

In sorting my own thoughts about the moment, I began writing about the way science is being used by bad actors under the guise of "evidence-based medicine". I also talk about the limits of our ability to fully boil down evidence into axioms that make subjectivity irrelevant.

My tummy hurts and I'm mad at the government

I didn’t expect my daughter’s first lesson in gender politics to happen between circle time and snack. But here we are. Check out my Substack to learn more. #protecttranskids #Inclusiveschools #parenting open.substack.com/pub/jolenega...

Regardless of what happens with the result of this shutdown, the Democrats had better come back with a policy platform that includes universal healthcare when they run again. We should not compromise for less.

“We celebrate the networked world for the many ways in which it enriches our capabilities and prospects, but it has birthed whole new territories of anxiety, danger, and violence as the sense of a predictable future slips away.” — Shoshana Zuboff The Age of Surveillance Capitalism

I’ll be on @msnbc.com @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social tonight at 8:40 pm ET. Tune in!

Gotta block them all! Block early, block often! bsky.app/profile/did:...

it’s weird how normal it already feels to get emails from congressional candidates about being beaten by the gestapo outside the camps

I’m seriously considering getting an iPod Classic, doing a few small mods, and daily driving an iPod for all my music and completely ditching streaming

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

Say it!

As Trump wages war on DEI, Apple essentially just ratified the MAGA view of law enforcement officers as a protected class. (new @msnbc.com column)

As a reminder:

They're not even trying to hide it. Gone are the days in which these views were couched in doublespeak. The racism is on shameless, full display in the most powerful rooms in the federal government. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...

It's the worst thing watching resegregation happen in real time to please a bunch of white supremacist nazis in power. www.thewrap.com/nbc-news-lay...

I can't stress enough how young staffers working for Republicans are basically all groyper Nazis now. The leaked texts yesterday saying "I love Hitler" and now swastikas on congressional offices. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

"why do you keep calling us Nazis?" Because you're Nazis. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Chat. I’m starting to think we might be cooked.

if this isn't civil war i'm not sure what is

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if there’s a compelling public interest Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors) Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion

These Supreme Court oral arguments on conversion therapy are going to be painful. No matter what is said, know that trying to force someone to be what they're not is psychological torture with measurable negative consequences, and anyone trying to defend such efforts is a bigoted monster.

Texas proudly invading Illinois. It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.
