The obvious wisdom and effectiveness of Housing First is obscured by the fact we've made "a tiny, no-frills apartment" an expensive status symbol in huge swathes of the country by creating an artificial housing shortage
Here is a man with more simple moral integrity & courage that the vast bulk of Dem electeds & pundits.
Fondly recalling the 2010s, when one could borrow money for free and instead of densifying our cities and building electric-powered mass transit, we pretended Uber rides would always be cheap and worked hard to prevent "transit-oriented gentrification."
a lot of what has made discourse insane is that there's an entire crop of guys who live in dc, do a ton of uppers, and have massive gender insecurity around the fact that they're soft-handed scribes
Donald Trump is taking a hammer to the job market and making life more expensive for you.

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."

-Oil company manager/executive; spent the winter of 1944-45 in the Ardennes as a member of the Army Finance Corps
This is just unconscionable and gruesome.

i think most rational, well-informed people of any current or former gender can agree saving young men from their stupidest and most harmful young male impulses is the oldest and most important reason for society to exist at all
Every trans woman I know has had "why not be an effeminate man?" shoved in our faces for ages and yet thus piece suggests that even once suggesting an effeminate boy might be trans is some sort of crime against humanity.
This is transphobia.
The Supreme Court is basically just ruling that youth are property and right-wing Christians are the only people with rights.

It’s so refreshing to hear someone telling the truth about the LA establishment, which has no higher goal than giving the appearance of doing something while doing nothing. A change from people who want to do as little as possible to people who want to see how much is possible.
Why is the city of Los Angeles stopping affordable housing during a housing crisis?
Hello! I am a trans journalist looking to speak with trans kids and parents of trans kids across the US who have been impacted by the clinic closures---please get in touch or share!
Californians already have to provide a DL/ID number and last 4 digits of their SSN when registering to vote. This is a completely unnecessary solution to a made-up problem and a transparent attempt to suppress voters who are low-income, disabled, elderly, etc. www.latimes.com/california/s...
Bureau of Prisons: February 19, 2026 PURPOSE AND SCOPE To establish professional guidelines for the mental health evaluation and treatment of inmates meeting the diagnostic criteria for Gender Dysphoria (GD) to assist their progress toward recovery, while reducing or eliminating the frequency and severity of symptoms and associated negative outcomes.
This week it was uncovered that the Trump regime is trying to "cure" trans prisoners of being transgender, while doing everything they can - from labeling our mere existence as explicit to stripping us of our legal documents - to ensure we *all* end up imprisoned in their ever-growing camps.
The King is mad
queer characters existed in star trek. before. voyager ended
Had an intense but fulfilling & healing support group meeting last night followed by a lovely dinner out in Hollywood with a dozen or so trans/NB folks. I love our community and feel grateful to have been welcomed into it. 💜🏳️⚧️
I remember when trying to forgive student loans was massive overreach of Presidential power.
I did my 12th injection this week and it was the first time I’m confident I did it correctly since the very first dose where the nurse was sitting there supervising me
Saving the people of Iran from being massacred by their government in the streets by massacring elementary schoolgirls from the air.
Big congratulations to the “no new wars” crowd.
There were many bad reasons to support (or anti-anti-) Donald Trump. But none with as much willful denial and reality inversion as yours.
never look at your phone when you get up to take a leak. someone might have started an idiot war
I know I keep harping on this, but I feel like I’m going insane when Republicans can take away our rights to passport IDs, our driver’s licenses, our veteran’s benefits, etc. because we‘re weird and icky and then the discourse is over whether we’re weird and icky and not if you should keep promises.
Holy grail of LA transit planning & advocacy coming to fruition at last. It’s been a shitty couple of days of news, so I’m celebrating this win!
To all the other late transitioners:
You haven't missed the boat.
You are the ocean.
You are deep, powerful, and capable of shifting the entire shoreline once you’re ready for your tide to change.
Even if you don't think trans people are worth the fight since they're just 2% of the population, it's vital that you remember that the Republican Party is not merely an anti-trans movement, it is a fascist movement.
They'll perfect tactics on a small minority that will one day be used against you.
