Park Ranger Speaks Out After Being Fired For Hanging Trans Flag At Yosemite National Park

How frustrating.

Trump Admin Bans Coverage For Trans Govt Employees, Mandates Conversion Therapy Coverage The OPM memo states that all health plans for government workers must cover faith-based approaches to gender dysphoria while banning gender affirming care coverage.

1. In an alarming move, the Trump administration has banned trans coverage for federal employees and their families, including youth and adults.

It mandates faith-based conversion therapy coverage.

It is one of the largest removals of coverage in the US.

I find Teddy Roosevelt to be both a awesome dude for his progressive mindsets of improving the quality of life, establishing National Parks and trust busting all of the powerful corporations and such.

On the other hand, His "Big Stick" and Imperialism was not so cool

The Black Panthers didn't mock people for their lack of education. They taught people how to read

A lot of people need to hear this

One week until Zooey and I return from France. This honeymoon has been incredible, and I just want to thank all of you for giving us this time to share our joy and love in the face of so many struggles.

We will return soon, recharged and ready to take everything on hand in hand. 💜

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted.

HOT DAMN

Today I made art with Sara Sandoval! If you live nearby I would love love love to see your selfie with it.

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there.

The show must go on.

Every time I fly, I always pick a window seat.

I stare out of it and watch the world go by.

We live in such a beautiful world. It’s big enough for all of us.

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist”

wish more of Film Twitter had moved over here, because the ratio of politics to nonsense fun things is way out of whack

With everything going on I needed to do something cathartic, and really wanted to try a WWII-style poster with Sheena.

I really love old poster graphics from that time period and figured it was a fitting theme!

It’s All About Owning The Libs Now How can Democrats fight back against MAGA Trump nihilism?

Trump's politics of spite are front and center in his second term. It's a virus that has spread to the entire Republican Party, making his presidency more about "owning the libs" than effecting any positive change. Todd Beeton dug into this mindset for The Big Picture.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.

The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.

It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

I heard Gov. Abbott asked them to steer clear of the state until he gets to watch some kids die.

Man, there's nothing he loves more than watching kids die.

School shootings, barbed-wire migrant crossings, power outages, measles, whatever. It doesn't matter how, as long as some kids die.

It’s way down on the list of concerns but the way he uses words like “powerful” and “strong” as catch-all adjectives drives me crazy.

Social Security will be “powerful”? What? Is it going to fight Godzilla?

This weasel actually insists it’s a “longstanding norm” that only the president or his attorney general can say “what the law is” which is, of course, absolute garbage.

Another way this feels similar to COVID — the disaster is already unfolding but the people in charge seem to think it’ll only impact “blue” areas.

Panel 1: "I make art for a living." Drawing character art on a tablet Panel 2: "It feels... Questionable right now." Drawing interrupted by a news alert Panel 3: "So much horror and pain all around us... And it feels like it's getting worse every day." Cait staring at her tablet while news alerts ping loudly

Panel 1: "What the hell am I doing." Cait takes off her glasses and rubs her eyes, the news alerts are louder and more frightening Panel 2: "I'm drawing pretty pictures while the world is on fire. While families are torn apart. While war and genocide become daily news. While my country is held hostage by bigots who want me and the people I love to die." Cait holds her head in her hands, overwhelmed by pinging alerts

Panel 1: "But I can't think that way. ...not every day, at least..." Cait balls her fists, grimacing with tears on her face Panel 2: "I love what I do. And I work in entertainment - providing beauty and escapism for my audience." She puts her glasses back on and picks up her tablet pen, sniffling

Panel 1: "We need art in turbulent times. People need escape from the horrors. And if I can provide that - then I'm being helpful." Cait starts drawing, but the pinging alerts are on the rise again. Panel 2: "I'm being helpful. I'm being helpful... I'm being helpful... I'm helpful... Helpful..." She draws, trembling, as the alerts swell around her.

Feeling... rough. Lately.

This is why you fight these cowards.

The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

The biggest problem with most of you is you think Kendrick Lamar is your revolutionary friend.
Luigi Mangione is your revolutionary friend.

Protest at Stonewall tomorrow.

You can’t spell Stonewall without the T.

Stonewall National Monument New York Info Alerts Maps Calendar Fees “By the time of Stonewall...we had 50 to 60 gay groups in the country. A year later...1500.” Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGB civil rights and provided momentum for a movement.

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument.

Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed.

3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened.

Erasure.

A billionaire who has attached himself to the federal government while sucking massive amounts of money from it thinks *other* people are “parasites”
