This is so fantastic. What I love even more is that it has great lessons even *outside* the trans community. The comment about the girl who started playing and found her social niche and stopped just playing video games could apply cross the GenZ board. This ole’ coach says #BaseballForALL!

Just to be clear: we are fine in Minnesota. We are not being taken over, though there are more rabbits in our yard than some years. Also we still need to address creeping bellflower. But otherwise all good. Don’t need rescuing or another murderous occupation.

Your regular reminder that the job of an ICE officer is dramatically safer than the job of a regular cop, such that not a single ICE deportation officer has been killed in the line of duty since 1949 (and that was actually a stabbing inside an INS jail in Hawaii, not street enforcement).

I adore this piece. Looking back or forward, history can be such a fascinating guide. I did a class for 5th graders—“Peace Pipe or War Party?” where they played the Powhatan tribes; deciding on whether to work with or destroy the nascent Jamestown colony. Fascinating to see kids play that out.

Brain drain in the US is already happening; Canada, European & Asian nations are seizing the opportunity to move expertise (and the economic boon it creates) to their nations. A lot of that is never coming back, even if we win in ‘26 & ‘28. Another result of Trump ending The American Century.

And, there it is. A government whose resources have been turned predominantly at preserving its own power, not serving the public. This is even worse than their libelous accusations against the SPLC, as these groups are simply there to help citizens vote. #VoteBlue #GiveBlueToo #TooBigToRig

The CDC just re-opened a previously shelved study that would withhold the hepatitis B vaccine from children in Guinea-Bissau, despite decades of evidence showing it is safe and effective. This is a violation of human rights, using “science” to harm some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

Absolutely right, but this should make us that much *more* determined to make this election #TooBigToRig. Maygar showed us the way in Hungary. And while Trump is not the rational actor Orbán was, ensuring that margin of victory will go a long way toward curbing dirty tricks. #VoteBlue #GiveBlueToo

They know that withholding the birth dose of HepB vaccine will cause infants to contract it, and they’re doing it anyway, even though they have the vaccine on hand. So they kind of are actively giving babies HepB.

So it took me a day of ruminating on what I felt went wrong with @mayor.nyc.gov’s 10/7 statement. I think the intention was sincere, but the execution felt like using Jewish Community’s trauma to talk about Gaza. I took a stab at a rewrite I think more appropriately addresses both on 10/7.
