Texas has declared that the kind of care recommended by every major medical and pediatric association, with decades of proof of efficacy, and provided by doctors in full cooperation with parents … is child abuse.
Texas Attorney General: “There is no doubt" that gender transition of minors is ‘child abuse’ under Texas law. The Texas Dept. of Family & Protective Services will enforce this ruling and investigate & refer for prosecution any such abuse. dallasnews.com/news/politics…

Tell everyone: preschoolers not only understand, but embrace, respect, and engage with conversation about gender identity and pronouns (for themselves and others). Adults do children a disservice to think they're capable of any less.

Thinking of Daunte Wright's family. Thinking of the greater Minneapolis community. Thinking of all the Black folks who wake up to this news again and again and again and again and again. Thinking of the toll is takes on your body, the air it pulls from your lungs. Every time.

I want to know their names, who and what they loved, the people they had waiting for them at home, everything they hoped for. I want to know the fabric of their days and the contexts of their lives.

Live your life in a way that Bon Jovi doesn’t sing “Here Comes The Sun” in celebration of you losing your job.

"Being American is the past we step into and how we repair it." Of everything that happened today, I'll be thinking about this line from @TheAmandaGorman the longest.

St. Louis and I rise to say that the 117th Congress has a mandate to legislate in defense of Black lives. The first step in that process is rooting out white supremacy, starting with impeaching the white supremacist-in-chief.

This man is too dangerous to be on social media for two more weeks but not too dangerous to be the president. This Congress is a total embarrassment.

When white people use their mental health issues as an excuse for racism, they fail to acknowledge the mental health harm they cause BIPOC. Racial trauma impacts depression, anxiety, self-esteem, impostor phenomenon, & so much more. Who is held accountable for that? #MiyaPonsetto

The 22-year-old woman caught on camera allegedly physically attacking a 14-year-old Black teen and falsely accusing him of stealing her phone was arrested in California. In an exclusive interview, Miya Ponsetto and her lawyer spoke with @GayleKing hours before she was arrested.

If this is “the last straw,” but not the caged children, hundreds of thousands of COVID deaths, deals with authoritarians, police impunity, public corruption, nepotism, and white supremacy, we are not the same.
