If you immediately started calling the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America" because someone told you it was it's new name, YOU ARE VERY CAPABLE OF RESPECTING TRANS PEOPLE'S NAMES & PRONOUNS.

Elon sent out another email tonight to federal employees, urging us to resign by February 6. The memo was similar to the one received on Tuesday. As with the previous message, this latest communication fails to address concerns about pensions.

In my years of reporting on LGBTQ news this was by far the hardest.
But we are still here. You made it to Friday. You lived. Good job. That wasn’t easy.
Through a diversity of tactics, we will continue to live.
Rest up, drink water, find community, so that we can all be here tomorrow too.

The threat comes from the president of the US—a convicted felon and known predator. But the threat is also being driven by the hate algorithms of oligarchs like Elon Musk….

RFK Jr. has not had a great week. Between two disastrous Senate confirmation hearings and a damning letter from Caroline Kennedy, his path to becoming Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services is hardly assured. But can Democrats swing 4 Republicans against him? The Big Picture breaks it down.

1. Getting word that we have another anti-trans EO tonight, this time targeting teachers.
It directs the federal government to work with state AGs to put teachers who use trans kids pronouns in jail through "sexual exploitation" laws or "practicing medicine without a license."
