Too often when discussing trans rights, we’re forced to be on the defensive, as Republicans wage attacks.
Today, we take the opportunity to look forward by introducing my Trans Bill of Rights, a comprehensive vision to provide protections for all trans and nonbinary people.
Here's a time-lapse from yesterday as thousands of people marched through downtown Minneapolis to protest ICE.

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

Your regular reminder that there is no legal path from martial law to suspending elections in this country.
That doesn't mean there is no path. It just means that we need to reject the framing that the federal government has any legal authority to cease elections.
A must-read message from Colin and Sophie Hortman, Mark and Melissa's children:
I had 3 ideas for Season 3.
1. Scary cult menaces Red Camp.
2. The hybrid people get food-service jobs, which gets them involved in labor issues.
3. A Presidential election.
I panicked. That’s way too much story!
Unless… it’s all one story?
The GIVE ME AWAY Season 3 two-part finale is live now.
Top five podcasts: 1. Malevolent 2. Give Me Away 3. The Magnus Archives 4. How i Died 5. Remnants: An Audio Drama
Text reads: Biggest podcast listening day, Jan 19, 2025 The day you let "Give Me Away" fill every silence from dawn to dusk From the first notes of "episode 0106: this is my home" in the morning to the late night twists of "ep 0206: in these bodies, in this life", you spent the entire day in the world of give me away. 518 minutes, 20 episodes, 1 podcast-your most podcast-immersed day of the year, eclipsing even your annual top show.
Text reads: taste like yours can't be defined. But let's try anyway. You listened to 156 genres.
Some wrapped highlights including @malevolent.ca deservedly on top, the day I listened to give me away for 8 hours straight, and 156 genres??
Also Remnants by @hangingsloth.bsky.social is only not higher because it has fewer episodes and TMA by @rustyquill.com is the one I've listened to the longest
Wow, an absolutely gripping, enthralling episode from @macrogers.bsky.social - Give Me Away 0316: Your Time Is Up - The tension I was feeling!!!💜

Results, a shared experience and decisions. How will they be handled and what changes will be forthcoming? Don’t miss out on this enthralling episode from @macrogers.bsky.social - Give Me Away 0314: Into The New 💜

A picture of two women and the text "Did Women Ruin the Workplace? And can conservative feminism fix it?" A discussion with Ross Douthat.
Not watching this is my favorite thing I've done today!
Brava: “If I don’t file a complaint, then what message does that send to all Mexican women?” Ms. Sheinbaum said at her daily news conference, noting sexual harassment was a crime… “If this can happen to the president, what’s going to happen to all the young women & women across our country?”
The time is now but for the differing parties it has a different meaning. Time for some awesome listening from @macrogers.bsky.social - Give Me Away 0312: You Have Four Months 💜

It says "POLICIA" on the goddamn shield.
Quote from Season 3 Episode 8 of Give Me Away: "Where was this taken?" "We don't know, which is kind of a problem, 'cause... doesn't that look like a box full of guns?"
GIVE ME AWAY Season 3 Episode 8, "You Have Ten Months" (written by me), is live now wherever you get your podcasts. Our hybrid heroes face their deadliest challenge yet: working a regular job. I'm being glib, but that is part of it. The point is it rips, and you should listen to it.
Reminds me a bit of this, one of my all-time favorites: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-jv...
Hey @macrogers.bsky.social should we fly @gideonsean.bsky.social or @natcassidy.bsky.social out and have them argue with themself for 20 minutes?
Will being forewarned mean being forearmed? What an intense, gripping episode from @macrogers.bsky.social - Give Me Away 0308: You Have Ten Months - This is such a compelling show, that doesn’t disappoint 💜

Of the two boys with smallpox, the one who had been vaccinated has very few pox while the other is horribly disfigured.
1901, photograph by Dr. Allan Warner of two 13 year old boys both infected with smallpox on the same day, one vaccinated as an infant and one not.
And you are BRILLIANT in the role. The world is lucky that you use your charisma and persuasive powers for good, Briggon!
With all the suffering on this show, we thought our loyalty listeners deserved something a little more romantic and steamy for a change. Our GIVE ME AWAY Spotlight mini-episode "Best Practices" is live now wherever you get your podcasts.
🚨Trump drops all pretense and openly admits the mass raids in Chicago are about ICE raids and deportations (not crime), and essentially declares that he’s going to war with the city.
there are many things I love about the newest season of a show I’ve loved since ep 1 but this little side adventure for Talia + Noa/Jade has to be one of my favorite scenes I’ve ever recorded. a refreshing breath in a season that absolutely grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go (complimentary)
Why didn’t some of the Epstein survivors speak out earlier? “I thought someone was going to kill me,” one explained.
As another asked, “Why did the government work so hard to protect Jeffrey Epstein and not victims like me?”
Isn’t she such a marvelous stinker??
one of my absolute favorite audio dramas is back! Give Me Away premiered their third season and yes, okay, I'm biased because I'm in it, but to be clear, I was all in even before I got the amazing opportunity to act in this awesome, inventive world. and you are NOT prepared for the twists coming up
Here's the one I use for scheduling sessions. The production team has another one with sliders that looks a bit more like yours.
I love this show! If you haven’t listened to Give Me Away yet, you’re in for a treat. And now’s a great time to start listening because Season 3 just dropped!
