If you have ever been told you are "too much" (as I have), we need you now. We need all the muchness, all the too-much-ness, when so much is being taken. It is how we get through and thrive.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Accusations of antisemitism are going to be the tip of the spear for much of the fascist takeover of the United States. Those who care about antisemitism must vociferously push back. They want us to be complicit so they have a justification for their actions as well as have a group to blame it on.

Question for community. I have a colleague in the States who was told that for her grant to continue she could only ask about biology sex with 2 options (male/female). How would folks navigate this in the least harmful and most affirming way possible?

I strongly enourage everyone to take the time to read “Reclaiming Power and Place” especially as the DOJ has removed the reports on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women in the US. www.mmiwg-ffada.ca/wp-content/u...

The CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Survey has monitored the wellbeing of America’s high school students since 1991. Since 2015, it’s been a vital source of data on LGBQ youth. In 2023, it provided the first ever nationally representative sample of transgender teens. As of this morning, it’s gone.

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

It is Friday afternoon of a wild, wild week. And yet for me a reassuring one. My greatest fear was not of what they would do. It's that we would let them. And I'm seeing a lot of beautiful intransigence. From federal workers. From people all over the country obstructing ICE....

Musk is the culmination of a slow-moving corporate coup by the oligarch class that has been decades in the making. But that doesn't change the fact that this marks a new and unspeakably dangerous chapter.

I'm told that President Trump's attempted funding freeze caused SAMHSA officials in charge of the 988 National Suicide Hotline to study whether they have to shut it down -- even as it takes 20,000 calls a day from people in crisis. Does Trump really think that preventing suicide is woke?

Almost 20 years ago, a doctor on TV was asked, "Isn't 12 a little early for a kid to be deciding to transition?" And her response was, "It's old enough for them to decide that it's not worth living anymore if they can't." That was the only argument I ever needed to hear about gender affirming care.

Last night, Trump issued a memo for all federal agencies to temporarily freeze payments on all federal assistance/grants, while they conduct a review, ensuring that they align with recent executive orders halting programs on immigration, foreign aid, DEI, gender identity, and the environment.

this is an illegal order. the president does not have the legal authority to discriminate against entire categories of americans on the basis of sex. this order is no different than if he had issued one reinstituting segregation.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure. Read our op-ed here ⤵️

If Gender Affirming Care Doesn’t Have Enough Evidence, Should We Prefer a Treatment With None? —...
A column that ran in the Boston Globe by Jennifer Block implies it is sensible to prefer a treatment approach with no studies showing its benefits to one that has many.
