The Bay Area Reporter front page, 13 August 1998. The headline ‘No obits’ is written in red above the lead story.

27 years ago, two years after the introduction of effective HIV treatment, the Bay Area Reporter, San Francisco’s lesbian and gay community newspaper, ran ‘No Obits’ as its headline.
It was the first edition not to report an AIDS death in almost 15 years.

Palm Springs Universal Basic Income Pilot Program Shows Life-Changing Results A Palm Springs pilot program, run in part by DAP Health, is giving struggling residents $800 a month with no strings attached. For many, it has been a lifeline.

"Participants describe the impact as life-changing. One recipient explained that before the program they earned around $400 to $500 a month and faced homelessness. 'The UBI money, it meant the world to me,' they said."

It was an honor to meet so many fans while at #SDCC to promote IT RHYMES WITH TAKEI.

My story is a testament to how far we've come... and how urgently we must stand up for LGBTQ+ rights today.

I hope it inspires you, just as your stories inspire me. See you next time. 🖖 ‪

The forgotten—and incredibly important—history of the abortion pill Mifepristone took longer to get approved than most drugs—but not because it was unsafe.

The biggest takeaway? “How unnecessarily long it took for the drug to gain FDA approval and how unnecessarily restrictive the FDA was.”

No matter what happens in Washington, we’re still focused on making Minnesota the best place to live, work, and raise a family.

“Balcony Solar” - a hot topic!

The question is: how is this DIY, “permission-less” solar allowed in Europe, but not the US - and what’s stopping us here!

I may have some answers!

There was a 27% reduction in ER visits for those getting $200/mo in UBI compared to the control group—217 ER visits per 1,000 vs. 318 per 1,000. Specifically, there were fewer visits related to behavioral health and substance use crises, as well as fewer hospital admissions that originated in the ER

→ Zohran is the perfect millennial: Have you ever wondered how 68 percent of U.S. citizens and permanent residents admitted to Princeton’s most recent graduating class were People of Color? Well, let me explain, through the tale of future New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani. First the news: On his application to Columbia University, Zohran Mamdani filled in the little racial identity boxes marked “Asian” as well as “black or African American” He is not black. As to whether he is African American—maybe an edge case. It’s interesting. He is South Asian, technically, but he was born and raised in Uganda. Just like Elon Musk is white, technically, but was born and raised in Africa. Can Elon claim to be black for the purposes of affirmative action on a college application? The answer now is YES. Rachel Dolezal was just ahead of her time.

Zohran Mamdani is the perfect millennial, because our people know that you can’t get into college identifying as white.

In a major precedent setting move, a Canadian federal judge blocked the deportation of a nonbinary US citizen because the Canadian immigration office failed to adequately assess the conditions for LGBTQ people since Trump took office.

Military documents confirm that the LA operation today was a “show of presence” intended to send a message to LA residents about the power of the federal government.

After staging with armed soldiers and Border Patrol agents on horse, they packed up and left after a short walk.

Reported FBI Probe Targets Trans-Affirming Care Providers—For Procedure They Don’t Do Unconfirmed reports of an FBI probe in pediatric hospitals serving trans youth leaves parents, doctors and transgender youth in a suspended state of terror. That’s by design.

1. Children's Hospitals are reportedly under investigation by the FBI for gender affirming care, which is not illegal.

The Trump admin is using anti-FGM laws, which do not apply and have specific definitions.

It is a scare tactic meant to coerce hospitals.

Given the number of transgender people buried under their deadnames by their family, there’s a pretty good reason why we see increased ideation and suicidality but lack data on suicide completions.

Miami just canceled its November election & pushed it to 2026. No public vote, just canceled.

Mayor Suarez & Joe Carollo get to stick around an extra year.

This feels like a power grab. If one city can delay elections for “participation,” what’s to stop others from doing it to silence opposition?

Budgets aren't just numbers—they’re about values.

We can grow our economy by investing in child care, housing, and health care that helps families.

But ripping away health care from those who need it to fund giveaways for billionaires and corporations? That's morally bankrupt.

Zohran Mamdani’s plan to tax the rich is a 2% tax on income over $1 million.

If you make $1.1 million, you’d pay an extra $2,000.

Watching working class conservatives and politicians completely meltdown about this is wild.

Today marks 10 years since SCOTUS legalized same-sex marriage in Obergefell v. Hodges.

Despite this historic step in LGBTQ+ rights, today reminds us how hard we must fight against ongoing attacks on our community.

The Constitution still matters. I’ll always defend it.
