Utah didn’t ban youth hormone therapy such as testosterone boosters for cis boys. It didn’t ban “gender affirming surgery” such as breast augmentation for cis girls.

Just for trans kids.

You know, in case you’re wondering if lawmakers are really out to “protect the children” like they claim.

Give me a break.

Surely (no one/everyone) will (recognize how flexible and useful this architecture is/spend a huge amount of effort painstakingly preserving and updating this garbage I wrote in 20 minutes)

And yet here you are, controlling what women can do with a bun in the oven.

Fine. I'll be House Speaker.

The space of time between Mendeleev’s first stab at a periodic table and Einstein’s paper on special relativity was smaller than the time between the release of Goonies and today.

The shadow docket struck again, this time on Title 42. This latest ruling is part of a larger pattern by SCOTUS, and it carries significant implications for our policies around migrants and the role of the states. I break it down in today’s piece.

On the 6th day of 🔒ed on twitter… my true love gave to me… a Mastodon account where I don’t need a keyyyyy… 🎼🎶

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it a thousand times: Encouraging kids to be who they are is suicide prevention.

Should I step down as head of the Universe? I will abide by the results of this poll.

So much for freedom of speech on Twitter.

The point of a graduated tax system is that people who make more can afford to pay more. A billionaire isn't going to have to choose between heat and food if they are taxed at 60%, but someone living in poverty can't afford the 10% that a lot of these people say they should pay.

sorry, i'm busy

Hi guys!

Today, President Biden will sign the Respect for Marriage Act. It will nullify the odious act known as DOMA, which had enshrined anti LGBTQ+ prejudice and discrimination into law.
Federal recognition of same sex marriages, by statute, is an important safeguard, but we must still do more. We must now enshrine the protections of Obergefell into law, so that no state can deny same-sex couples the rights and privileges afforded heterosexual married couples.

Happy weekend everyone!

Grateful for the hard work of the Biden Administration to bring Brittney Griner home.

The incoming GOP majority is going to try and discredit the work of the Jan. 6 Committee. Remember the courage of honorable conservatives like Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger when the extremists begin their assault. They had nothing to gain by opposing their party and Trump, and everything to lose. But they stood up anyway for the rule of law and for democracy.
