This moment from today’s Medicaid vigil is so powerful…
Question: What do you say to the people who voted to cut Medicaid? Be honest.
Samantha Phillis: They voted against my child’s life.

In almost all cases, people steal because they have an unmet need. I fucking hate being stolen from. And I think people's needs should be met. We could do that.
1. The Supreme Court has allowed a military ban that calls transgender people inherently "dishonorable" to go into effect.
This is a devastating ruling that opens the door for much worse.
I detail what this means for trans servicemembers in my latest.

Today's gender is:
• fully face target, extend arms, create triangle with shoulders
• line up ironsights on target, let sights blur
• squeeze the trigger, don't pull
• gently, until you feel the trigger resist
• breathe calmly, time the shot to be as accurate as possible, fire at bottom of exhale.
RFK Jr is trying to create an autism registry. Always a really good sign when a government creates a list of neurodivergent people, on top of trans people, immigrants, and politically active anti-Israel active mobilizers. /s
6 weeks ago today, planes flew a few hundred people to El Salvador, where they’re being held at CECOT — a place from which Salvadoran officials brag no one is ever released — at US expense.
Their continued detention there is our continued shame.
Tiny 3D printed yellow whistle.
I've been 3D printing tiny, very loud ICE whistles and handing them out at my library. So if someone gets approached or sees someone getting abducted, they can make some noise to distract and get people looking and helping.
We need to talk about ICE. Because what is happening right now is NOT normal: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xITS...
I'm a punk unicorn, I get to determine what's cool, it's in my contract.
You guys are being so mean to Kristi Noem, but sometimes you have to pay for Dalmatian puppies in cash.
They sensed your innate coolness.

Happy release week!
It's also - and I know I say this a lot but I think it's really important - scientifically false
Biology is not a simple binary, it is not static. That isn't how human bodies work
Also, when people balk at actually asking our allies to do some ally shit and how that might alienate them, I want to point out that every single trans liberation demo in the last week has been full of trade unionists stepping up and being visible comrades on the knowledge that this fight matters.
I have to stress: not only are people who live authentically cooler, they are also happier in themselves.
I know plenty of trans people who are not happy. Most people I know aren't happy.
But trans people are becoming someone they can love, and that's the most radical act imaginable in 2025.
Yes, yes, no, and so very much.
I'm so tired of telling MFers that transphobia hurts EVERYBODY.
This is the inevitable outcome of transphobic ideology. It harms cis people as well as trans if you don't fit a stereotype. If you don't look or act a specific way conjured up in the minds of the gender critical brigade you are, what they consider, a fair target.

If you're in need of a real reason to maintain hope remember that billionaire-backed propaganda campaigns and mass censorship across state and federal governments has only made the country even more queer
