Barbette was a male aerialist who performed in drag, was the toast of the Moulin Rouge in the 1920s, and advised Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis how to play female in "Some Like it Hot." Barbette is getting a historical marker in his hometown of Round Rock, Texas. cbsaustin.com/news/local/r...

The racist conservatives on our “Supreme Court” need to be impeached, disbarred, removed. They are constitutional frauds. They are building Apartheid America. It will be true in about a year.

Frankel to Rubio: "It is crazy that you want to let people in from South Africa because they can assimilate, while you're throwing out hundreds of thousands of people who have already assimilated and that are important parts of our economy and family life."

Whether done publicly or privately, looting the Treasury to pay off rightwing anti-American goons does not sit well with me. You?

Grece Meng is my rep and I give her a hard time, because she’s lame, but more of this and she gets my upcoming vote. I need her to vigorously defend immigrants in America.

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. 💙

Good for these fine people. The right to petition and assemble is a cornerstone of American democracy. In fact, the spark the set off the American Revolution was the massacre at Concord, Massachusetts, where people like this protested an inhumane and unfair situation and called for freedom.

Parasites attract parasites is the rule.

“Mikey wears a girdle.” What else can you do but humiliate these orcs?

In my neighborhood. I have to say, Aigner’s chocolates are some of the best chocolates I’ve ever had. You really have to lock them up or you eat every last one. The caramels are out of this world. And they have unique fillings. Highly recommend and they ship. qns.com/2026/05/aign...

IT’S GO TIME FOR NEW JERSEY DEMS! Especially Dems in deep red Ocean & bright blue Essex. Todays primary is a chance to change NJ. In Essex turnout for our Essex Reform Dems. In Ocean come out for Dems 4 Progress. Andy Kim got us better ballots. TODAY, we use them for better people!

Isn’t it time we put this hate group on a billionaire’s bloated yacht and float it off the edge of their flat Earth?

Thomas Hardy was born #OTD 2 June 1840. If I was sent to a desert island and could take only half a dozen books, one of them would be 'Under The Greenwood Tree', 1872. It's a lovely thing, a tale to reread in winter, full of humour but with one of those moral dilemmas for which his books are famous.

There’s a lot more kids in my neighborhood now than there used to be. Always good to have the bright sweet young energy. But the real treat for me are the hot dads. Sheesh, Republican men looking at kids while I eyeball dads is why I laugh derisively whenever a Republican oaf calls me a degenerate.

Sequel: everything I do on a late night excursion to the park to have sex with men before heading home to my wife and family who pretend they don’t know is the work of a demon.

The United States is being gutted. It’s intentional. #krasnov

Couldn't agree more ...

Male peacock spiders sport colorful, hinged abdominal flaps covered in microscopic, light-refracting scales (displaying vibrant blues, reds, and greens) If the female is unimpressed by the dance, she may eat the male. IG: flynn_prall Macro Photographer, Australia

Happy #PrideMonth! 🌈 Fashionable, feminine, and a rebellious source of entertainment. In the Johnson Publishing Company Archive, you'll find iconic images of drag ball performers from the 1940s–60s. [🧵1/4]

my elderly Egyptian Uber driver happily informed me that he “supports the gays now” because he lives with a lesbian couple and “the husband lesbian is a better husband than I was”, happy pride everyone

We lose this country just as much to cowardly corrupt Democrats as we do to the traitors of the Republican Party.

One dog did this in two minutes. Original post

“He was literally just talking” Hey @mikiesherrill.bsky.social u up?

Blue state, Democratic governor, what the hell.

Baby seal first time swimming.. 😊

This is true, and bring fun and laughter into political life as a strong point.

tRump could never take the bus by himself.

Just some of the over 700.000 artefacts found during the building of the Amsterdam metro. This superb website has catalogued about 20.000 of them, such a delight to go through: belowthesurface.amsterdam You can also see some of them in person at Rokin station.

Hey this is really cool. A potter (baked_honey_ceramics on instagram) made a bowl out of my poem The Rules.

PENCE: “The idea of creating a fund that could compensate people that assaulted police officers and vandalized the Capitol that day is totally unacceptable — My hope is the administration will drop the idea entirely."

Besides being traitors to America, these two enjoy causing people they see as inferior being harmed, going without, because they are sadistic orcs, and dumb and stinky, too.

AP’s investigation found that ICE detention centers have repeatedly fallen short in ways that violate ICE’s own standards.

Illustrating the contempt Americans have for America’s democracy.

And he will ruin any sense of honor and respect for the upcoming 25th anniversary of 9/11. He will promote war, muslim bigotry, and racism, and we will endlessly hear how this monster wouldn’t have let it happen, as he stuffs obscene Saudi cash into his pockets.

RIP Marcia Lucas, whose skill as a film editor and storyteller made a clunky independent film called STAR WARS greater than the sum of its parts. Rightly referred to as "Lucas's secret weapon," Marcia had an uncanny talent to see a film from the perspective of an audience--and won an Oscar for it.

Democrats, exploit this! It symbolizes tRump’s destruction of America better than anything I can think of, it’s tangible, emotional, part of our collective history. Contrast tRump’s mess with images of Democratic presidents respecting the White House. Stir up the people. It isn’t difficult.

Not necessarily true. The NYPD patrol officer is driving around in a shit patrol car using a shit radio and using a shit locker room at the precinct. Cops aren’t any happier than the rest of us. They get dumped on and all their bosses are corrupt. There are ways to get cops on your side.

Does this orc see himself as an “alpha caveman,” because he def reads as “gay on a late Saturday night.”

“Sylvia Rivera made transgender history when this portrait—of her (center), partner Julia Murray (right), and friend Christina Hayworth—taken on the day before New York City’s 2000 Pride March, was added to the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery in 2015.” samueldelany.tumblr.com/post/8180159...

Someone needs to wake up here. Nurses do not go on strike for nine months for more pay and better benefits. Care is compromised, patients are in jeopardy, so are the nurses, and they strike because they care. Who wouldn’t want nurses like that? Settle this strike. Respect those nurses!

Not on Reddit or X, but I am highly critical of tRump’s inhumane, sadistic, abusive, and racist deportation plan. It brings shame to all of us and has no place in America. Jeanine Pirro, put me on your goddamn dirty list. I am upholding true American values by criticizing this barbarism.

Pam Bondi reminded us all that Wall Street is more important than being decent and lawful, not that we expected this inept and corrupt dirty orc to have a stitch of integrity or honor. She’s animated meat, without soul or conscience, and she will be recorded in history as a stain on her country.

I returned to Delaney Hall today with Rep. Menendez and Rep. Pallone after disturbing reports that detainees were being beaten. We confirmed that four people were taken to the hospital. The inhumane conditions inside Delaney Hall must end. It is time to shut this facility down.

Nancy Mace: Please have sex with donald tRump to relieve your itch.

Bovino portrays the toxic closeted homosexual bully nazi so well.
