I really appreciate that @pbsnews.org ended the interview with this graphic. It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.

This would have gone incredibly hard as cover for a Blink 182 album called 'Boob Poop'.

These are not people who make this kind of statement lightly.

As Trump announces the closure of Venezuelan airspace in anticipation of a war, there is literally nothing about it on the CNN or New York Times homepages as of 11:50 AM ET

It's not this platform. It's all of society that hates AI

The fascists in the federal and state governments are bad but its the one on your school boards and city councils that will be molesting your kids and demanding their devices and going through their things.

You want to harness economic populism? Then get off your ass and do the difficult work of building solidarity across and through difference. That’s what makes a coalition; just look at who’s winning. Asking people to abstract their identity away into some aggregate is a failure mode. Wake up. /9

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics. It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT. It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse. Transgender care saves lives.

I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season

he sees all

Honestly, this makes every org and institution that folded at the merest threat of an attack on trans rights just look as pathetic as they are. It does the same for everyone that excused them.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was incrementally making every single aspect of life harder and then telling you that it was your fault for not being able to manage it.

The new mayor of Seattle should be the gold standard for candidates

This happened to me in 2019. I still haven’t landed yet.

This is basically making it so trans people who were adopted and had their birth records sealed cannot obtain a passport at all. This will also ensnare cis people who were adopted and have clerical errors on their records or are suspected of being trans.

The Salvation Army are a hate group. Do not forget that this winter.

From my time working in payment processing at JPMC, "high fraud risk" transactions were usually associated with drugs, guns, gambling, or dollar amounts that were unusually small or high for the type of businesses accepting them, not stuff like nerd hobbies. Definitely something is up at MasterCard.

Trans and non-binary people have always existed, and will always exist — as our neighbors, family, and friends. They’re just as American, just as human, and it’s up to ALL OF US to fight for their rights. Join us and tell your story to add to our 1 Million Voices for Equality pledge: hrc.im/voices

Good morning to all skeletons, no matter your level of musculature. Let’s all scream together before we vanish because *gestures to entire world*

Agreed. all Discourse should be eat the billionaires centric moving forward. Thanks.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Man, the self loathing thoughts are out in force today. It’s bad yall. I wish I had a reset button for my brain.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

This is 100% true. I’m in Manhattan today for work and they made me convert to Islam before I was allowed to purchase my BEC and coffee this morning. Inshallah I’m able to get a slice of pizza tonight because the ration lines are so long.

I had the luxury of cancelling my travel for the weekend to see a tiny baby. I’m very sad I won’t get to experience a tiny baby, but I dont think I’d have success getting home again with my sanity intact with all the flight cancellations And my 11 year old in tow. I hope it was the right choice.

ICE has been seizing people in Allston. Boston area folks, spread the word about the LUCE hotline to report ICE sightings. And here's stickers you can print and put up anywhere:

Literal LOL

We lost our early voting ballots, but went out and voted in person today. Fun times!

As a biologist, It really is a great analogy. Also trees. It's like saying, "There are trees and grass, you have to be one or the other." Ok... where is the line that defines "is a tree?" what about bush-like grasses? Palm trees? NON-tree palms? What about horsetails and their tree-like ancestors?

Teen Vogue took young people seriously. It's impossible to overstate how important, how rare, and how profoundly needed that is.

Hope you're having a happy Halloween, may all your spells come true!! 💜🐈‍⬛

I have a bad cold so sorry if this is blunt/not clear: If you are going to mention the HHS Report, you have to contextualize it properly for the reader: that it was anonymous, not peer reviewed (not normal practice), widely criticized, etc. Readers don't know the quality of research unless you say!

I'm so goddamn tired of saying this but: this is it. All the worrying that trans folks have had since he took office? This is why. This is the first step on a short road that ends with the criminalization of trans existence in the US. It isn't doomsaying. It isn't panic. It's right in front of us.

Hi, transphobic policies get trans folks bullied, assaulted, and murdered DAILY and that’s not better for any of us in the short, medium, and/or long term because of that whole slippery slope to eugenics Hell thing. Hope this helps 😊

These are the names of the Colorado State Patrol officers assisting ICE in the illegal renditioning of my neighbors without due process. Tell me @colorado.gov, is this what I’m paying taxes for? So you can kidnap my neighbors? Are you only with us when it’s easy or are you gonna do something?

Cuddle bugs gon cuddle

Reminder: tax billionaires into millionaires Domestic oligarchs are bad

Had the strangest experience during work on Friday. I was given an immediate bonus- without warning. I didn’t even know that could happen. I guess it’s a good sign for next years compensation cycle. Hopefully.

So gross but it’s so true.

If Harry Potter is more popular than trans people, that's an indictment of society, not trans people. "Give up this hobby that is literally bankrolling our extermination" isn't a big ask tbh.

I DO know who needs to hear this but you’re SUPPOSED to have issues with your politicians and leaders. You’re SUPPOSED to demand more from them, AND BE SELFISH ABOUT IT BECAUSE YOUR NEIGHBORS NEED THE SAME THINGS. You’re not meant to be their cheerleader. They’re meant to make your life better.

1. A groundbreaking new study published in Nature Medicine shows that feminizing hormone therapy shifts trans women's blood protein to resemble cis women after only 6 months. HRT really is effective and changes the human body heaivly. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.
