BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity.

This is a major win for public health.

"Things might be tough but it's great for artists! They'll create more!" You might not believe me but going through a lifetime's worth of stress Every Single Week for years and years- is actually not the optimal set of circumstances that inspires artists to create

There is a tremendous effort by donors to push the democrats to throw the entire trans community under the bus. It's a top down effort to collaborate with fascism under the deluded idea that it'll somehow win more votes.

A background of watercolor painting of various pride flags, such as the trans flag, the bi flag, and the rainbow flag, over which there is a wonky white square containing the words “We want to make access to queer stories easier for everyone in the US. Help us get there. Donate to Queer Liberation Library’s 2025 Pride Fundraiser today!”. There is a link typed out as “givebutter.com/Jr8Tfu” and the QLL logo at the bottom.

Every few years I'll learn that there's a show called, like, "Baggage" where Greg Kinnear plays a TSA supervisor with a troubled past, and that my parents have watched 150 episodes of it.

Florida Sues Target Over Selling Pride Merch The state’s budget for suing “leftist” corporations is ballooning.

1. We have entered a new era where states are suing corporations for selling pride merchandise, arguing they should know that bigotry would hurt their bottom line.

Florida has now sued Target for selling rainbow merchandise.

Willem Dafoe perched on a stool like a gargoyle

Willem Dafoe hunched over on his knees with his hands in a tight "lowered steeple" gesture. he is looking up with a serious expression

Willem Dafoe acting as if he is being controlled by marionette strings, or possibly is doing a lazy crane kick.

Willem Dafoe on the ground with one leg tucked under him and the other crossed over the first. his are resting on their side's respective knees with flared fingers. he is making a disinterested face, as if you asked him why he is sitting like this and he didn't want to shrug cause it would ruin the pose so he's using his eyebrows and hands only.

I wish I had the influential power to start an art trend where people draw their OCs using any photo of Willem Dafoe as reference

Make no mistake: I'm in the Montana House because I believe that's where I can do the most good.

States are THE front line. They are where heinous policies are first tested & fought against. And when the federal gov't goes rogue, state legislatures are a critical line of defense for our communities

“Ditch the diagnosis“ is something parroted by people who don’t believe mental illnesses exist.

They are playing into the hands of the far-right who wants to take all rights and protections away from disabled people (esp mental illness) by denying they exist.

Where to buy sapphic books directly from authors and publishers. Shown is a shopping card full of books in all colors of the Pride flag

I put together a list of sapphic publishers and authors who sell books directly to readers.

Note: This list is meant to give readers more option; it's not a call for a blanket boycott of Amazon since that would mean boycotting many indie authors.

They have to review and respond to every unique comment by law, so every message you send below supports efforts to block this policy from further harming trans people.

10 house Democrats do not speak for the other 205. I will say it again, 10 Democrats do not speak for the other 205.

This is not an excuse to shit at all Democrats.

It’s also really important to remember that we are a big tent and we have to be with things as fucked as they are.

AOC was right.

It's probably the right time for a lot of people to start entering the fray and running establishment Dems out of office.

Will never cease to amaze and appall that pretty much every USA problem can be boiled down to “we didn’t want Black people to have it too so we rather not have it at all”.

Mental health improves when people aren’t constantly stressed about money.

A stable income floor through universal basic income means fewer breakdowns and a healthier society. #UBI

Newsom throwing trans people under the bus while hosting a noted antisemite who defends Nazi salutes, among other disgusting things, is a low point for mainstream Democrats and hopefully the end of this guy's presidential ambitions.

Two BIG wins in Motnana!

We killed two anti-trans bills today (a drag ban & a bill requiring CPS to remove trans kids from parents).

I'm so grateful for Montana Democrats, who have stood unwavering in their support of trans rights. And grateful to all the Republicans who said enough is enough.

These kind of votes are born out of trans representation in government.

Rep. Howell & I have built solid relationships with Republicans and those relationships change hearts, minds, and (eventually) votes.

It is painful, grueling work. But it makes a difference.
