On Tuesday, the Supreme Court is going to hear West Virginia's effort to ban the state's only transgender athlete, 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson.

Win or lose, I need your help making sure Becky knows she's a hero for standing up for what's right

The guy who first dressed as Portland Frog, a major symbol of our protest and then other national protests, has been arrested while peacefully protesting. Prints of this painting by Simran Gleason are being sold to support his defense. www.simrangleason.com/prints/p/por... #pdx #protest

I feel like we keep learning the same lessons: we like feeling safe and we feel safe when we're surrounded by people we like and love and the richer we get the more removed we are from our fellow humans
A Washington Post article suggests that, beyond a certain threshold, larger homes don't make people happier. Instead, well-being is correlated with affordable housing in walkable neighborhoods where they feel socially connected.

AILA (American Immigration Lawyers Association) has partnered with Human Rights First to create the Ready Now! App. The app is designed to alert the people in your life if you are detained or kidnapped. It also included emergency planning and connection to legal support should you need it.

I went to Palestine to see the realities of apartheid and settler violence up close. In Hebron, the cruelty is clear as day.

"In 2025 I have spend some time to untangle my digital life from billionaire/fascist run platforms. So at the beginning of 2026 maybe it makes sense to talk a bit about what I did, why I went certain ways and what works and what doesn’t."

The anniversary of the LA fires is this week, and I'm available to talk to anyone reporting on the aftermath. Since we lost our house, we've been on an odyssey of trauma, generosity, frustration, exhaustion, and change. There's a lot going on here, so please email or DM me.

EXCLUSIVE: @laurenweberhp.bsky.social & I have spent the last year collecting school+county-level vaccination data from across the US and found that only about 28% of counties now have herd immunity for kindergartners from measles—that leaves about 5.2mn kids unprotected.

U.S. vaccination rates are plunging. Look up where your school stands.
Take a look to see what the kindergarten measles vaccination rates are in your area.
