How many of the men are centered in my family is infuriating—so babied. But when they had to assume the caretaking role, they couldn’t do it for more than a few weeks. Not in all couples—definitely exceptions.

Rent is due in just 2 days & I’m terrified of not being able to keep this roof over my family heads.💔

We’ve already been through so much loss after the genocide & I just want them to feel safe, to wake up in the same place tomorrow.

Please, help us finish this, donate if you can or simply share.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

I worked in DC media for the better part of a decade. I know a bunch of women covering politics. Many of them have sex. All but maybe two are great people. Even the two who weren’t great don’t sleep with sources.

there are some arguments a-flying around about how we shouldn’t “slut shame” Olivia Nuzzi because RFK, Jr, is the villain of the story.

Nuzzi isn’t bad because she has sex, or because she’s associated with RFK. She had a severe conflict of interest in a public interest job.

That’s bad.

"The administration’s decision to remove almost all personnel for the special education office is not just a betrayal of students with disabilities. It also is the final nail in the coffin for Republican support of the idea that people with disabilities can and should access public education."

Eric Michael Garcia @ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 7h

My latest for @msnbc.com: The Trump administration's gutting the special education personnel not only betrays people with disabilities; it rolls back the work of four Republican presidents who passed bills for special education (Nixon, Ford, and the Bushes)
www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Opinion | Trump's mass firings strike a hammer blow against Americans with disabilities

The GOP once supported special education programs. Recent dismissals at the Education Department put an end to that support.

I've met these two wonderful parents before. i was reporting on a roundtable discussion of trans parents held at the HRC HQ and then we all went out for dinner afterwards. after dinner Keisha and Sean insisted on walking me all the way to the metro stop to make sure i made it okay.

Sara Luterman @slooterman.bsky.social · 8h

“Keisha and Sean became determined to fill this resource gap. They’re among a growing group of Black parents who are building a support network.”

No one was helping Black transgender youth. So these parents stepped in.

A new nonprofit provides resources to Black families of transgender and nonbinary youth at a moment of heightened political hostility.

Thank you so much to everyone who donated to Ziyad and his family these past two weeks. He was able to pay of the debt from evacuating! A big relief.

Now, next step is land rent + groceries + clothes. Every share & dollar helps keep his kids sheltered & healthy. ❤️

Ziyad sits beside his mother, holding her hand. There is green foliage behind them, with sunlight dappled through the leaves.

Ziyad poses for a photo with his 3 youngest daughters, Dima, Jana and Hadeel. They are standing in front of their family tent, with other tents visible in the background. They all smile at the camera.

Everyone needs to watch this. Everyone. Especially people who work in health care, journalism and politics, or remember what the word "solidarity" means.
We can't fight for ourselves, we're busy trying to survive.

Please help us fight for better care.
