Equality PAC, the campaigning arm of the Congressional Equality Caucus, announced its endorsement of Marcy Kaptur and other anti-trans Dems days after political ads targeting trans people. Even the LGBTQ+ congressional caucus is throwing trans people aside. Subscribe to support our journalism.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

I am honestly disturbed by the swiftness with which "trans healthcare not available to anyone under 19" is going from being regarded, rightly, as collaboration with trans genocide and a fascist federal government to "the best we can expect" even among those who damn well know better...

On this day in 1933, Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld library in Berlin. The world’s greatest collection of LGBTQ books and scientific papers were looted and later burned, erasing decades of research into sexuality and gender identity. ‘Where they burn books, in the end they will burn humans too’.

Holy smokes
Modern jello shots originated in the 1950s when Jell-O was at the height of its popularity in the United States. Multiple sources attribute the creation of the modern jello shot to American satirist and musician Tom Lehrer, who claimed to have invented the jello shot as a way to circumvent a ban on alcohol at a navy base he was stationed at. According to Lehrer, he and a friend were barred from bringing alcoholic beverages to a Christmas party at a naval base, and so the two mixed orange Jell-O with vodka in cups so that the mixture could be smuggled into the party. Comedian Luke Ski later wrote a song celebrating Lehrer's creation of the shot.

Ten years ago today, in April 2016, the Boston Globe printed a satirical front page imagining a future Trump administration. The page was called "alarmist," "hyperbolic," "dystopian." But we’ve put up with so much since then it now looks like . . . a slow Thursday?

You can sue to prevent that. It’s a threat not supported by law. People are suing and winning. Don’t capitulate before you fight. The city should follow state law on this. And the city should fight. Mamdani promised.

Still not a peep on the things Mamdani can do for trans youth after hospital closures. No activation of H+H to take patients. Trans patients are a rounding error for the $10B program. No movement on human rights complaints. No promise to restore care. Rarely have I been so disappointed.

1. Mayor Mamdani promised to hold hospitals accountable that capitulate to Trump. He promised funding to trans youth care in the city. There are very real steps he can take right now to maintain care for trans youth after NYU Langone's capitulation. It's time for Mamdani to uphold his promises.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.
