14 years and 11 months ago, I got (gay) married in Iowa. We left and went back to Chicago where we were recognized as civil partners then home to Arizona where we were roommates co-parenting our son. #GaySky

In addition: Republicans control 52% of governorships and 56% of state legislatures. They hold governorships AND legislative bodies in 23 states. So either there is no fraud or democrats are really bad at it. I’m giving even odds to both options.

Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."

If I’m a MAGA and I live in Seattle, my brain just exploded. If I’m against Pride, I’m agreeing with Iran. But I can’t support the BLTGQ’s!

Egypt and Iran have requested that Pride events in Seattle during their World Cup match be canceled and… no. Welcome to Seattle. This might be the most patriotic I’ve felt in my life. Pride isn’t happening during your game; you’re here during Pride. Suck a rainbow. apnews.com/article/worl...

As a gay father, I find Father’s Day on a Sunday in Pride Month to be a little much. 🤣

His toughest opponent yet turned out to be photosynthesis. #AlgaeGate

Listening to The Rest is History podcast episodes on the KKK and there’s way too much that sounds like the news.

But hey, at least we got a costly war and tariffs nobody wanted and he demolished half the White House and trashed the reflection pool!

A national treasure.

Get rid of the income cap on paying into social security. Solvency solved AND lower the full retirement age.

Trump struggles to clasp the Medal of Honor to Major Nicholas Dockery -- and then ties it?

A new study from England shows that HPV vaccines have reduced deaths from cervical cancer to ZERO for women aged 20-24. (And this is not the first study showing such dramatic results.)

I guess I will have to start going to church

Remember, during today's literal cage match on the White House grounds: No matter what, it's not his house. It's our house. Get a hat, coaster, or sticker to support groups and candidates who will respect the form AND the function of the people's house. shop.onwardtogether.org/collections/...

Some people have to cheat to get a ball in, others just know how to do it...

The speech that introduced us to Barack Obama. An America where people didn’t have to fear a knock on their door in the middle of the night. An America where political speech brought no fear of retribution. An America where… 😥😥😥

A real president sows hope in the American people youtu.be/pWe7wTVbLUU?...

Can we go back to all the hope we had then? For those of you who weren’t there, it was really wonderful. He laughed. He cried. He loved his wife. He adored his children. He wasn’t a convicted felon.

Obama Appreciation Day June 14, 2026

🥳 today is ❤️🧡💜💛💚💙💜 #ObamaAppreciationDay 🎈

NY Knicks win their first NBA championship in 53 years. The last time they won was in 1973. 👇

After a lifetime of agnosticism, a stormy next couple of days may make me a regular churchgoer and a believer.

TOMORROW!!! #NoKingsDay 🇺🇸

These headlines are 9 days apart. This is unsustainable. This is how societies collapse. French Revolution vibes.

My dogs sleep well with their necks in liminal spaces.

We’ve lost two chickens this week. Not named ones, but it’s still sad.

I thought this was a glow up pic.

NBA is rigged! when Spurs had 29 point lead the game should have been immediately stopped and Spurs declared winner. Instead officials decides to play "4th quarter?" and Knicks "somehow" score enough baskets to win. Fraud!

He has so much more faith in democratic leadership than I do.

You think it’s impressive that ABBA sung phonetically? May I present Debbie Harry (quintessential New Yorker) rapping about car brands.

For anyone who thinks democrats have rigged elections. Have you met a modern democratic leader? They would Substack about it, forget an unlocked laptop of plans in a coffee shop, have a public debate about who should win…and then accidentally lose the election.

Do you think us gay couples just sit around acknowledging each other all day to get things done? So glad I’m not in a straight relationship where every bad habit gets blamed on gender. And maybe acknowledging each other for little things makes getting through the big things easier.

We need to stop releasing any vote totals until all the votes are counted.

Why should social security start at 65? Why not base it on when people started paying into it? I have been working (and paying into the system) since I was about 12. But plenty of people don’t start paying in until after college, grad school, etc.

Diabetes experts politicized? Remember, these are the doctors who have been absolutely vilified by the government for providing most of the gender affirming care in the US. The specialty is made up of really smart people who are definitely not in it for the money. And they are out of fűčķś to give.

We were so lucky. We got NBC coming in from Arizona and California. Since Arizona didn’t spring forward or fall back, it meant we had two chances to watch the 8pm ‘hot’ shows. Or, not to watch. Because we were only allowed 1 hour of TV per week (plus what we could sneak when home unsupervised).

Show me your Wordle dashboard or your consecutive days of Connections. Otherwise it’s just man woman fish bicycle and nobody cares.

So predictable.

This is exactly what everyone deserves. Adequate time off work to care for health issues, fully paid for by the state and their job waiting for them when they are better. But when only politicians and oligarchs get those benefits, the system is rigged and broken.

Won’t this limit…hmmm…foreign investment in the US? (Not to mention forcing people into a cash economy and all that entails.)

If some of us occasionally seem distant and pensive during Pride, there’s a reason. And sometimes we cry because so much progress has been made and we remember who fought so hard for it and isn’t here to celebrate.

Teeth. Vision. And the mind (frequently). Who needs those things?

Hey Bravo. What happened to the #TopChef travel budget? Why aren’t we going somewhere really cool for the finale? Staying in the Carolinas???

This would be an unbelievable plot point in a novel.

I sometimes wonder how horrified my grandfather would be if he were alive to see the current president. And then I remember this book he wrote.

I don’t remember all the stuff surrounding 1976 and the 200th. We didn’t have TV and lived in a small, isolated town. But my school took a field trip to the Bicentennial Train where I remember a moon rock and a very large shoe from Wilt Chamberlain.
