    We should consider the possibility that the Iowa Caucuses are stupid.

  3. This cover story is great, and this athlete is a complete bad ass. But in the SAME ISSUE that says "Every body is a cycling body" also has an article on how to avoid "the weight creep." This is fat shaming, plain and simple. And it's a slap in the face to this amazing athlete.

    Hey : it’s really weird how the cover for the latest issue says “Every body is a cycling body,” featuring a self-described “fat” woman, and then there’s an article about how bad it is to gain weight from inside.

  5. Whose lives are treated as fundamental and whose are dismissed as a sideline issue? Trans rights, abortion rights, immigrant rights, disability rights, etc.––these aren't nominal issues, but central to our democracy. These are everyday American issues, too. Treat them like it.

  6. As we begin the primary, notice whose rights get to be "kitchen table" issues and whose get sidelined as "identity politics" or "social" issues. Too often, it's the most marginalized whose rights are discarded as not fundamentally American. That's partly how we ended up here.

    Iowans who care about abortion access, tomorrow is your caucus and I want to talk about why to me there's only one candidate to caucus for, and that candidate is . She is the only candidate with an actual plan to protect and expand access to abortion.

  8. This also reveals what many of us have long known, which is that Yang appeals to libertarians and even right-wing voters who aren't interested in structural change or even necessarily ousting Trump.

    I wrote about the crisis of fibroids—more specifically the lack of research around them, which prevents doctors from having clear-cut treatment options—for .

    A parole board sent a convicted wife-murderer to a sex worker *because* they knew he was a danger to women but wanted to make sure he got his "sexual needs" met. The guy murdered the 22-year-old sex worker.

  12. Twitter discourse often encourages directionless despair and outrage. If you feel those, use them. If you have the ability to do something, do it. You can wring your hands on here or you can try to do something, even if it seems small. Go do it while you still can.

  13. The point is: Do what you can do while you can still do it. Can you change the Senate tomorrow? No. Can you help someone afford an abortion? Can you help someone access food or shelter? Can you help someone make bail to be with their family? Probably. Do something. It helps.

    I am really, really struggling with the notion that a *reporter* sharing a *reported story* about *allegations acknowledged by the subject of the reported story in question* is crossing a line. Journalism is not hagiography.

  16. The Senate was never going to save us. That institution is actually functioning in the way that it’s designed: to benefit those in power and maintain hegemonic control. It’s okay to be disappointed. Just know that you still have power to enact change in your own way.

  17. Really proud to live in this state today! The death penalty is unjust, racist, and wrong, and Colorado is about to become the 22nd state to do away with it.

  19. Those in power decry this kind of stance as a "purity test." Fine. My purity test is "Do you treat people like shit or allow people to be treated like shit, especially the most marginalized?" If the answer is yes, you're out. You're not willing to stand up for those folks? Bye.

  20. If your "big tent" allows those who are most likely to be oppressed and harmed to continue to be oppressed and harmed, that isn't a progressive coalition; it's a tool to strengthen and sustain patriarchal, white supremacist power structures. And I don't want to be in that tent.

  21. Calls for a "big tent" in political alliances cast the rights of the the most marginalized as conditional. We're told we can "agree to disagree," but at whose cost? Trans folks. People of color. Undocumented immigrants. Disabled folks. And who benefits from that? Those in power.
