About ten years ago I interviewed Gavin Newsom about his involvement with marriage equality, and here's what he had to say about Democrats who don't support queer people:

There Was One Ad During The Super Bowl That People Aren’t Talking About. It Horrified Me. "It’s a trap draped in the language of bravery. It is dangerous, expensive propaganda."

A recent Super Bowl adoption-themed commercial sparked conversation about how adoption is portrayed publicly. Author and birth mother Candace Cahill challenges the narratives we’re taught to celebrate, illustrating how lived experience can differ profoundly from the marketing. 🥚

I still don’t understand how the same people who think I “don’t look autistic” will then scrunch up their face in a way where I KNOW they think I’m weird for what I just said or did

yes, bitch! I AM weird AND I’m Autistic & both those things are pretty fuckin great so fix your face & your attitude

More cool bricks from companies that don't pour untold millions towards the goal of trans genocide.

I do not like the days when I must inform an intercountry adoptee that they are not a US citizen. Today is such a day, and there will be more days like this until we work to fix it. 🥚

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.

The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

easy slogan for the next democratic presidential candidate is “i will reform the corrupt supreme court and repeal citizens united”

Y'all, ICE thugs are still terrorizing people in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

They are counting on America looking away, and it's currently working. Please tell everyone you know, please reach out to people with huge followings, and ask them to help refocus our attention on the ongoing abuses.

I care. I wish the media did. So many people just don't know anything if it's not on the freaking cable news every 5 seconds.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

She Got an Abortion. So A Texas Cop Used 83,000 Cameras to Track Her Down. We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Lawmakers who support reproductive rights must recognize that abortion access and mass surveillance are incompatible. The systems built to track stolen ca...

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

ANTI-ICE PROTESTERS MARCH DURING SUPERBOWL | Left Coast Right Watch Around 1000 people gathered outside SupeBowl XL to protest ICE’s announced presence at the event.

NEW from LCRW: @jwcroxton.bsky.social reports on the large anti-ICE protest that took place outside Super Bowl 60 in Santa Clara.

ICE Uses Disguises and Fake Plates for Immigration Enforcement in Minnesota A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement did not respond to inquiries about whether the men were federal immigration officers. As the sweeping imm...

There are a growing number of reports of agents impersonating construction workers, delivery drivers & anti-ICE activists, heightening fears in the state.

That's deceptive & unconstitutional, because they use trickery to get around warrant & consent protections.

LISTEN: There are a lot of folks out here working tirelessly to get the truth out there. Replying to us that nothing matters because there'll be no consequences is not only incorrect, but it belittles the work we do. It's insulting and shortsighted. Stop following us if you don't want the info.

I think there's a lot of bot activity out there right now trying to discourage people from trying. Don't fall for it, real humans!

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

If you have Nitro, cancel that shit.

Sending love to all of you. Glad you have each other for support.
