I'll be there.

WSJ owes an explanation, as does the FBI. Who dumped that crap into their bulletins? If not the same person, who leaked it? Why does either person still have a job? Congress should demand answers immediately.

Here's something to clear my palette. youtu.be/gbljPQbxtTQ?... Maybe you might enjoy this too

THE DREAM KEEPER Bring me all of your dreams, You dreamers. Bring me all of your Heart melodies That I may wrap them In a blue cloud-cloth Away from the too rough fingers Of the world. --Langston Hughes, from The Weary Blues

something to be said for a trans person in a mainline dem space zealously advocating for dems to zealously advocate for trans rights, healthcare, liberation. cos otherwise it’s just john oliver. but “let’s pit her against yglesias, who would’ve been anti-interracial marriage because of polling”‽

In it, Butler writes that in preparing to write the Parables series, “I needed to think about how a country might slide into fascism.” She was less interested in the fighting of World War II, she adds, “than in the prewar story of how Germany changed.

For all the dog lovers. This is a classic. Worth seeing again.

1. If you've scrolled social media lately, you've likely seem Democrats cheering for Gov. Gavin Newsom for trolling Trump relentlessly. You've also likely seen trans people terrified of a Newsom 2028 run. I explain why trans people are not feeling Newsom. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I have always ridden the subway when I go to NYC and have never felt unsafe. I bet this was fun.

Yeah so throwing dildos at women athletes on the court is an actual example of gender-based violence against women in sports—one that transphobes and acquiescent Dems will surely make 1000% less noise about

Nearly every Fri before Shabbat, I tweet: May we rage when we must and rest when we can. May we build the peace we so desperately need. May we turn our hands, in all things, to the justice that peace requires. The only liberation is a shared liberation. May we have courage sufficient to build it.

I have been back from Kenya and Zimbabwe for a couple of weeks now and haven't shared anything from my trip. It was really too short both in Nairobi and Harare. But I met a lovely woman who is a music and language instructor at the Nairobi YWCA.

#TheBlackResponseCambridge made a movie!!! Head to their Website for details and FAQ: www.theblackresponsecambridge.com/where-do-bla... and register for screenings: tinyurl.com/WDBMLScreeni... WDBML? is a nonfiction film that tells the housing stories of Black men in Cambridge, MA.

I subscribe to Cathy's weekly email because I used to live in Zimbabwe while I did my dissertation research and maintain my theatre ties with Zimbabwe theatre people. In this week's letter from Zimbabwe, those of us who live in the US, should see some parallels cathybuckle.co.zw/whispers-on-...

I know this isn't news to anyone on here, but always good to have science confirm it. "Hormones help trans people with depression. ... This happens because of the physiological changes caused by hormones, as well as reductions in gender dysphoria leading to better social functioning."

Also you don't have to be Jewish to apply:

"The mayor gave 1,800 traffic cops the boot and hired a meager clan of 20 mimes. Armed with nothing but signs that read correcto and incorrecto, the silent troupe theatrically mocked lawbreakers and applauded polite motorists. A system purely based on public approval was on trial"

I have been so excited since I found out this would be announced today! RIP any ability for me to concentrate: www.apple.com/tv-pr/news/2...

I'm here at a protest at Stonewall. A speaker let the huge crowd and press know that park service employees were not responsible for the erasure.

This is not at all normal. And the greatest collective and individual sin of those of us witnessing it all, would be to let it become normal. So, sustain your anger, hold on to your soul, and refuse to grow comfortable with this madness. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/please-don...

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%. The actual number is less than 1%. Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

We need to be more like South Korea. @aoc.bsky.social @smith.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com @kenmartin.bsky.social @chuckschumer.com We need to have the backs of the USAID staff and all who are resisting illegal seizure of our resources and information.

Jesus in the temple shit

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

My obligatory photos before the show.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

Yesterday they renamed it the Gulf of America. Today it's snowing on the Gulf Coast. I'm not saying I did it... but I'm also not saying I didn't.

I don't know how many of my Finnish family and friends have moved over to Blue Sky. But this seems relevant. Please vote against the right. Don't let them use scapegoats to bolster their turnout and hate.

Catching up on my saved podcasts and just discovered a new favorite Christmas song. youtu.be/ryYokpLb4qU?... This one will join The Fairy Tale of New York.
