Lifted up by Rachel Maddow’s increasingly giddy 50-state run down of #NoKings protests, particularly on the day the president sicced a backhoe on the White House. @maddow.msnbc.com

Thank you.

Lots of folks laughing at this story but for pete’s sake, when did law enforcement throwing people to the ground become standard operating procedure? This protestor wasn’t going anywhere fast and there’s was no need to assault and batter her.

@mcbride.house.gov

We approve.

Of course women don’t like the Cybertruck.

Women want just one thing, and it’s the red pickup from the 1996 movie Bound.

Exactly this. And states need to step up and create ways for us to pay our federal taxes to them to support programs and services being cut or discontinued by the administration.

Please boost US influence in local hospitals and schools.

Posed picture of four smiling older adults with four of the filmmakers and producers, also smiling, in The Pryde Community Center, a converted middle school gym. Behind the group is a drop-down screen with a picture of the exterior of The Pryde building against a blue sky, the Pride Progress flag, and the words, "Welcome to the screening of Living With Pryde."

The @wgbh.org filmmakers and producers who made the documentary "Living In Pryde" possible, in all of its power and beauty, joined residents and friends at The Pryde Community Center showing and panel discussion yesterday. We're proud to call this remarkable team our family.

across our city. It has always saddened me that the religious right captured and corrupted the language of radical love, peace and justice and hope that we’re seeing a resurgence now.

One of the defining features of the civil rights and Viet Nam war protests of the ‘60s and ‘70s was the ongoing participation of the religious community. My parents were active in the anti-war movement and I grew up attending meetings at churches, synagogues, temples, and store front churches
