Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

My friend Essam and his wife have been blessed with twins!! Life in Gaza is hard; let’s help build joy where we can. Please help them (if you can) to raise their babies in safety and comfort. Right now they are looking for $200 for milk, diapers, and clothes.

as change. I didn't regret the decision to take hormones. I wouldn't have survived much longer without passing. And the surgery was a gift to myself, a coming home to my body. But I wanted more than to just barely exist, a stranger always trying not to get involved. I wanted to find out who I was, to define myself. Whoever I was, I wanted to deal with it, I wanted to live it again. I wanted to be able to explain my life, how the world looked from behind my eyes.

Yet I was so afraid to come out and face the world again. I wondered why I had to choose the opening years of the Reagan administration and the rise of the Moral Major-ity to demand the right to be myself. Would they arm villagers with torches and stakes and stalk me through the countryside? Would I stand alone, handcuffed in a precinct cell, with no one to turn to if I survived the nightmare? But then I acknowledged that no matter who had been in the White House, it had always been hard to be me. Between a rock and a hard place-something told me this lifetime wasn't going to get any easier. I'd already been through a lot though, and it didn't seem to me it could get much worse.

Once again I couldn't see the road ahead. I was still steering my own course through uncharted waters, relying on constellations that were not fixed. I wished there was some-one, somewhere I could ask: What should I do? But no such person existed in my world. I was the only expert on living my own life, the only person I could turn to for answers.

I really thought @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social was a real one who would be there for trans kids--the picture of him at a protest in Feb 2025 and his late-campaign ad about trans New Yorkers made me think he was genuine. Where is he???? Mr. Mayor--trans kids need you NOW!!!!

leading with β€œthis person” when referring to a trans woman unfortunately demonstrates you have a severe media literacy problem.

it’s also not remotely professional to disparage the intelligence of a publication’s readership because they disagree with an editorial board’s rightwing ideological bias.

Donate to Help Ahmed and his family survive in Gaza, organized by AHMED ALJA I am Ahmed, a Palestinian living in Gaza since 1998 after losing my father in 199… AHMED ALJA needs your support for Help Ahmed and his family survive in Gaza

My friend Ahmed and his family are kind, lovely people dealing with some medical concerns and the general devastation that is life in Gaza. It would mean so much to me if you could help them, even a little bit!

Hey, @massgovernor.bsky.social --your constituents do NOT WANT THIS. We want someone who stands up to fascists, not someone who vocally supports agreements with them.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: β€œHe might have thought β€˜how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said β€˜this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

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.
