1. In a major move, AG Letitia James has given NYU Langone 10 days to resume trans youth care, or face legal consequences.
Now many are asking: Will Mayor Mamdani follow suit and take action to protect trans youth from the Trump administration and capitulation?

For Israel & the U.S. to go to war during Ramadan is also a message.
Hilary Cass, the inexperienced pediatrician tapped by a Tory government to shut down youth gender medicine in the UK, is apparently shocked to find that youth gender medicine has been politicized in the UK.

I listened to an interview with Alysa Liu yesterday and I can see that the interviewers are unsettled by her and do not know what to do with her responses.
She challenges so much of what USians are taught about competition and frankly about how to live a life.
I'm asking that we all raise our political expectations. We deserve good things.
In addition to being absolutely brilliant, amazing & charming in her own right, we all know she was raised by a single dad w/4 siblings and that he came to the US bc of persecution bc of his participation in the ‘89 Tiananmen democracy uprising, right?
Don't appreciate the most prominent socialist mayor in the country's spokesperson using the phrase "achieving efficiencies and cutting waste" when it comes to THE PUBLIC LIBRARIES that his budget did not even fund sufficiently to keep up with inflation.

Vocubulary lesson:
“Outside agitators” is a trope used throughout U.S. history in reference to slave resistance, Reconstruction, labor movement, the anti-apartheid movement, the Civil Rights Movement, & more to dismiss and repress the legitimate agency, intellect, and concerns of local people.
Elected officials have to stop posting like bystanders who have no power.
This could actually be a golden age of radical public history. So many people are looking to better understand the antecedents to our current moment. We have good scholarship that can be shared with the public in myriad ways. Revive freedom schooling across the land.
A typed poem titled "REVOLUTIONARY LETTER #96: POEM AT DAWN" reads, "Empire is its own undoing." The author, Diane di Prima, is credited below the poem. The text appears on a plain white background.
Do people know that there are almost 1 million Muslims in NYC? Where are the stories about how Muslims are feeling about the first Muslim Mayor in NYC?
To the trans kids who have been left out and left behind by Republicans' callousness and cruelty:
You belong. You are enough. You deserve to show up in this world as your authentic self. And you deserve to grow old.

Elon Musk just became the first person ever worth $600 billion.
To put this in perspective, here are some things Elon Musk could do and STILL be a billionaire:
- Pay the salaries of every elementary school teacher in the U.S.
- Fight hunger by fully funding SNAP
- House every person living in homeless shelters
Tax the damn rich.
To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care:
I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care.
Your health care is still legal and protected.
I'll always fight for you.
i am agog that Newsom actually said out loud that he never really thought about affordability until he talked to a streamer who wouldn't let it go.
The future is not foreclosed.
This is 'let's circle back in the new year' o'clock.
