1. We are seeing a massive amount of overcompliance with Trump EOs. Nonprofits across the board are erasing transgender people from their websites. Mira Lazine reports on several that have made the decision to do so in her latest piece. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Organizations such as the Boys and Girls Club of America, the Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network, and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children are among dozens erasing trans people.

Thinking about June Jordan’s “I must become a menace to my enemies” as I start my week…#poetry

This + so many universities early compliance is freaking me out big time.

1. On Friday Night, it became apparent that historic LGBTQ+ clinic Whitman-Walker in DC had erased trans care and resources from it's website. The stated reason is harmful to us all. I make my case against it, and other orgs, erasing us for federal dollars. Subscribe to support my journalism.

THE RESIST LIST IS HERE. Proud my team just started this @resistlist.bsky.social, which will list actions that happened and that are slated to happen.

Banned/challenged books are often difficult reads with jarring content, but we can't shield ourselves nor our children from the realities of the world forever - it's better to build empathy and understanding through books, especially by reading books by/about marginalized people.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

I keep thinking about how before I got my current job I worked at a title I school where there was an incredibly understaffed special education program. In the program was a student whose behavior would regularly cause us to go on a soft lock down in our classrooms 🧵

Do y’all think the White House is about to be full of unvaccinated people who are going to get each other sick OR do they all secretly get vaccinated?

I’m working on focusing on the things I can control. So, I taught my students how to make zines. Who knows, maybe they’ll need to spread the word about something one day. Many of them chose to write about their opinions related to book banning.

I think I’m going to take some time to look through my pedagogy books today while my students work. Maybe I’ll post some highlights. For the teachers here, what are some of your favorite books about teaching? #teachersky #academicsky

Something is happening inside the Earth, scientists say

Doug Mills is one of the greatest to ever do it.

This is America, 2025 In one weekend (!!), one New York Times photographer, Doug Mills, travels from Gitmo to the Super Bowl to take two unforgettable images of where we're at as a nation

Talking about book banning with my students this week as we are about to read the most controversial part of our shared novel. Hoping it’s impactful because I just get fired up and emotional every time I dig into this topic

Kendrick turned a diss track into a Grammy and a Superbowl halftime show it is literally impossible to top that might as well tear down mt Rushmore and put up 4 Kendricks

Trans literature (especially indie) is transgressing artificial limits many won’t even acknowledge exist and will inspire, thrill, or maybe reflect something back at you. You really owe it to yourself to read these wonderful authors.

It's a bad time for trans people now, and it's a bad time for trans literature Buy trans books, leave reviews Support trans authors If you can't afford a book right now, then follow them on social media My first starter pack filled up, so here is starter pack 2 author boogaloo

I really need some joy right now. What fun/lighthearted accounts are you following here? #joysky #sillysky ? Do you exist?
