Together, we raised over $600,000 for @translifeline.org this year. From the bottom of my heart, I'm so grateful. We have come together to say to our trans friends and family that they are loved and that they are not alone.

Trans rights are human rights.

When we gather together, we can make Magic.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

The Washington Post is gutting its books coverage. Earlier today, Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post laid off hundreds of its employees, in what one staffer called “an absolute bloodbath.” As The Guardian reported this morning, editor-in…

Going forward, the Washington Post will pivot to prioritizing news concerning “national security,” and topics like science, health, medicine, technology, climate and business.

Trump threatens to use Insurrection Act to put down protests in Minneapolis President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to invoke the rarely used federal law to deploy the U.S. military or federalize the National Guard for domestic law enforcement, over the objections of state governors.

The president's threat to invoke the Insurrection Act comes a day after a federal immigration officer shot and wounded a Minneapolis man who had attacked the officer with a shovel and broom handle. https://to.pbs.org/3Noy0re

One explanation for Bari killing the story is that she did so as a public act of fealty to the administration. But another is that, as an inexperienced journalist, she doesn’t understand that a refusal to go on the record is a kind of comment in and of itself

26-year-old bookstore manager lives in New York City on $53,000 a year: 'It's hard, but it's so worth it' Eileen Tyrrell moved to New York with little savings and no guaranteed paycheck — and stayed. Here how she makes it work.

I don’t know how to tell you that $45K is just the norm for slinging books. No 6-figure bidding wars, no movie adaptation, no office jobs with federal holidays off. Bookselling, on the floor in the weeds bookselling, is labor. www.cnbc.com/2025/12/18/b...

In retrospect Sandy Hook marked the end of the US gun control debate. Once America decided killing children was bearable, it was over.

Not only is this degrading to good journalism, I also feel like that when national newspapers do things like publish “We Need More Charlie Kirks” they can blame it on AI
