This Pride Month is going to be unparalleled to any in recentΒ years Charged with a palpable anger, passion and a vigour that is unparalleled and unlike any in recent years

πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ "The long-discussed and often trite β€˜is Pride still a protest?’ conversation, has a clear and present answer this yearβ€Šβ€”β€Šfuck yes."

Robert Wolf on Fox News: "This big beautiful economy that actually was rolling pretty good with jobs and inflation coming down feels more like the Game of Thrones red wedding. I mean, it's not going well."

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss:

1. 1929 (the Great Depression)

2. 1987 (Black Monday)

3. 2008 (the Great Recession)

4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY

And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculousβ€”they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Everyone should watch this. Then share it with anyone who thinks these tariffs are a good idea and won’t crush small businesses.

Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country?

Congress? Any answers?

A screenshot of a poem. The poem reads:
Choose your leaders
with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward
is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool
is to be led
by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief
is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant
is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Remember, Reubild, Reclaim. You are not alone. Last night at the annual Human Rights Coalition fundraiser, I was reminded that my community cares and is willing to keep fighting the fight to make our world a better place.

White supremacy culture infographic with bottles of poison for each element

White supremacy culture infographic with bottles of poison for each element

Day 31: Priming the immune system- White supremacy culture is all around us. It's the water we have learned to swim in. It's the lens through which we value ourselves and others. We need to resist the values it has imposed on us. Let's notice these and fight the contagion. #TherapistsConnect #racism

Repost this if you can acknowledge that, as a cis person, trans people may not see you as safe no matter your intentions. Repost this if you can accept that and care with appropriate empathic and compassion. #TherapistsConnect

”Just in case people don’t fully grasp it. The pardoning of insurrectionists is Trump’s way of building loyalty from militias and domestic terrorists to carry out unofficial acts for him.”

A judge blocked the Trump admin’s transfer of a trans woman to a men’s prison facility, which would have introduced a higher risk of abuse & denied her access to healthcare.

Thanks to @gladlaw.bsky.social & @nclrights.bsky.social for showing that we will fight back in the courts.

One thing to remember in all of this is not only will it wipe out vast swathes of already-funded research, it also has the potential to lock trans researchers out of federal funding entirely. How can I apply for funds if I can't refer to myself in them?

Sen. Tim Kaine tells federal employees to ignore Trump’s offer to quit with pay for months. β€œDon’t be fooled. He’s tricked hundreds of people with that offer. If you accept that offer and resign he’ll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors. He doesn’t have any authority to do this.”

Wise words from someone who is a target. And he’s been listening.

Trump demands apology after bishop urged him to "have mercy" on immigrants, LGBTQ Message not received.

β€œShe was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

So what exactly sparked Trump’s ire?

β€œMay I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away?” the Bishop said.
