The chant you're hearing is "FIRST! DO NO HARM!" Huge high five to everyone who came out to the protest at Mount Sinai over the hospital's deal with Trump to end gender-affirming care for trans youth. 🧵 of photos to follow!

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

Espina: It doesn’t matter if you’re Cuban, Mexican, Venezuelan—it doesn’t matter if you’ve been here five years or thirty. When Trump talks about immigrants, he means all of us. That includes people who’ve been here a long time. That includes permanent residents

Worth reiterating every time that this is not some cancel-culture purity test: JK Rowling has pledged more than a billion dollars of her Harry Potter money towards bankrolling anti-trans lawsuits. This finances that.

THIS. Median voter theorists claim people are making "rational" choices arraying themselves on some clear left-right spectrum and picking the candidate(s) closest to them. In reality, we're primates seeking BELONGING - something MAGA offers (to the chosen) & left has neglected for long time.

There's divorced from reality argument about whether Dems win courting base vs catering to middle. For either to hold, these groups would have to actually hear & be swayed by what Dems say. Up for grabs voters, disaffected base or conflicted, are LOW INFO & don't believe what Dems say about Dems.

The through line reaction of our biweekly 2025 focus groups was, Dems keep saying the House is on fire but they aren't actually running in to put out flames or get people out. So either they're just saying shit, politics as usual, or they believe it and refuse to act.

We are in the fight of our lives against fascism - a force that seeks to control women - from what we do with our bodies to how we live our lives. The only way to defeat this force is to repudiate it wherever it manifests, whether in legislation, executive decree, or interpersonal action.

I edited a couple of books post-publication to get rid of the "R" word (with respect to mental disability), which at the time I shouldn't have put in, and now feels especially regrettable. The edit had minimal if any effect on the overall story, and now I don't have to wince when I think about it.

The gene therapy Zolgensma helped children born with a fatal disease grow up to run and play. But the cost was stunning: $2M per dose. While taxpayers and charities funded the drug’s early development, execs, venture-capital backers and a pharma giant have reaped the profits. (Pub. Feb. 2025)
