Brown graphic with a yellow-tinted photo of Barbara Cameron outside leaning on a guardrail. Yellow text reads: "It's important for us as Indian People, as we reclaim and revitalize our languages and traditions, to include the heritage and contributions of Indian lesbians and gay men." The quote is attributed to Barbara Cameron, two-spirit activist for Indigenous and queer rights, for Native American Heritage Month

Barbara Cameron was a Hunkpapa Lakota artist and pillar of the San Francisco community who advocated for lesbian and Two-Spirit people, people with HIV/AIDS, and women impacted by violence.

In 1975, she co-founded Gay American Indians, the first association for gay Native Americans in the U.S.

Trump is a convicted felon and sexual abuser. He is a pedophile. He is unfit for office. Impeach. Again. Remove. Imprison. That is the only way forward. Any member of Congress covering for him is complicit and compromised.

2025 is brutal. My brother brought Barley home after a night at a bar where some girls had puppies they were trying to give away. She was a wonderful friend who loved to explore and was the Queen of the two-poops walks. After a battle with cancer she passed on tonight. RIP my dear niece and friend.

Oh that’s a good suggestion! The show looks interesting so I will read the book first. Thank you!

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

None of this is good. Most especially for the victims.

Facing Numerous Challenges, Missouri GOP Gerrymander Goes to Court Read more here.

NEW: Following the Missouri legislature's approval of Trump's congressional gerrymander, a state court today held the first trial of several legal challenges against the map. The central question? Whether the state constitution prohibits mid-decade redistricting.

The idea that sexual abuse is part of “private” life instead of a public crisis has done incalculable damage. Anti-rape activists have to fight to even make it possible to expose sexual abuse as a wrongdoing in public without being silenced and undermined. That fight is far from won

There is currently, and there is going to be, a whole lot of screenshots of snippets from the Epstein files.

If you’re going to share it, try (for the love of all things Gaga) put the alt-text in.

Just copy + paste the section you are screen posting. It’s like five clicks.

Dont be lazy.

U.S. Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) says she will "immediately" sign the discharge petition to release the Epstein files. Her signature was the final one needed to force a House vote on releasing the files.

Mmm-hmm. Every. One. Of. Us.

*taps mic*
*clears throat*

It is a global far right power grab

Virginia Giuffre deserved justice.

They put profits over pedophiles. They cut benefits and lifelines for millions over pedophiles. All of them should face the consequences and be removed immediately.

Release all of the Epstein Files. The victims have waited too long. Shame on all who have protected their abusers.

I hope Trump and all of the other sexual abusers we haven't heard about yet are having the worst day ever. Thinking about all the victims who have had to wait for justice while watching their abusers not only escape punishment but get rewarded by enablers. Remove, impeach, and imprison all of them.

Finally! Congratulations @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

Thank you!

Inside mysterious push to block signature-gathering against Missouri redistricting The source of the contract remains a mystery. But its existence has raised alarm as Missouri gears up for a potential statewide vote.

WTF, the Kansas City Star is reporting that a mysterious group hired a fake 'campaign canvasser' who'd join the effort to collect signatures to halt the GOP's gerrymander... but who'd be a spy on the inside.
