today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.
Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

“When you have a disability people can’t see, you don’t get the same level of empathy. It feels like the world has moved on.”
It’s shameful how society is gaslighting people who are experiencing chronic illness and ignoring an ongoing public health crisis.

The #wnba athletes have wrapped up another amazing season, once again compromised by inadequate reffing. It’s disappointing as a fan to see
1) athletes injured,
2) scores manipulated, &
3) franchise play-off runs cut short due to compounding crises caused by the reffing issue.

Incredibly brave of Napheesa Collier to call out the flaws she sees in the W’s leadership in this way. She established herself as one of the most powerful voices and leaders in the league with Unrivaled and this is further proof of her willingness to publicly demand better.

All the credit that Tim Walz got as a VP candidate for good stuff that Minnesota has done? Melissa Hortman (and a bunch of other women) led the hard fight to get bills on his desk and make it politically safe for him to sign.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

The news about this morning's shootings in Minnesota has me on edge about right-wing violence. Whether you are protesting or just a lefty going about your lefty business (mutual aid, organizing, etc), be alert, know who you're dealing with, and know how you would exit any place that feels unsafe.

It's hard to understate how important Representative & former Speaker Hortman was to Minnesota politics - she was probably the most prominent woman politician & integral to the recent budget deal. She was also incredibly kind and a real person - Kiernan sold her girl scout cookies. It's horrifying.
