“We’re here, we’re queer, get used to it” isn’t just a fun slogan to yell. It’s a speech-act: it conveys our (queers’) immutable presence in the world. We’re not going anywhere. We were always here. You can’t silence us. We won’t let you.
That’s what protest is.

Wild story: the acting Social Security chief was warned that terminating data collection contracts with Maine would increase fraud. But he responded that it didn't matter because it was more important to punish Maine's governor for disagreeing with Trump. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Heartbreaking to see announcements of major layoffs at most research organizations that have played a vital role in supporting federal statistics for education and developing high-quality evidence about what policies/practices actually work.

I'm a proud mother. Whether I'm walking my son to school or reading him a bedtime story, I do everything to make sure he grows up loved and cared for.
And for the sponsor of the drag ban to say that my existence is a fetish is false & cruel.
I'm glad we were able to defeat this hateful bill today.

"I don't want to lose to a Republican over trans rights", says very defensive person who hasn't faced a Republican challenger since 2016 (including in her new district 44).
In a leaked recording, State Senator Elena Parent (D-42) said she’d vote for Republican transgender healthcare bans because trans rights are too “unpopular."
"You can go right to heck. I don’t think I will lose re-election based on you screaming at me"

An EEOC admin. judge sent a fiery all-department email this AM alleging:
1. Trump's exec orders & instructions to target private citizens with them are illegal.
2. the judge had sent an earlier email with a similar tone yesterday that later vanished from their sent folder & colleagues' inboxes.

They turned it over to an algorithm that finally noticed “he likes fire.”

What if everyone qualified for welfare benefits?
Universal programs are much easier to administer than means-tested ones.
