If Thomas Massie is ever right, this is it.

Roosevelt High School students and staff bravely stood up to ICE on behalf of their neighbors during "Operation Metro Surge." I was my honor to present them with a Congressional Record recognizing their incredible courage and resilience. 💙

The scriptwriters are getting awful heavy-handed, aren’t they?

Happy Pride Month. If you're a gay man, please remember your power. People often think that gay men are innately fashionable, which means if you wear some stupid shit for long enough, straight people, including homophobes, will copy you and then you can laugh at them.

11-year-old Martin Scorsese hand drew this storyboard for a Roman epic he imagined called The Eternal City.

Some great advice from @antifaintl.bsky.social in this post from today about what you can do if you encounter some of the symbols / dog whistles in this zine out in public.

Someone actually did a study a while back that showed the most effective way to get women out of TERF groups wasn’t people trying to change their minds, it was them getting literally any benign hobby, like learning other languages or taking up needlework

There are no words to describe the joy this brings. A Condor back in Oregon skies. Just a lot of gratitude for all the work from the Yurok Tribe, National Park Service, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's on the Northern California Condor Restoration Program. www.oregonlive.com/environment/...

An effective push back against GOP culture war tactics? Seems to me it should be.

I have never had a doctor ask me to take a cognitive test. Why? Because they have never seen signs of cognitive decline that needed to be gauged and monitored. Doctors have asked Donald Trump to take FOUR of these tests in the past two years. Why? Because they are VERY concerned about his decline.

Dear corporate Democrats: - no one is entitled to a legislative seat - primary challenges are not bullying - our weak campaign finance rules and all your corporate donations won’t protect you if we knock 35,000 doors - you are answerable to your voters - voters want working class champions
