On June 24, 1973, an arsonist set fire to the UpStairs Lounge, a popular gathering spot for New Orleans' LGBT community in the French Quarter. The fire spread quickly and left 32 dead and many injured. This was during a time when people other than heterosexual were mocked, degraded,criminalized […]

They're also geting an Android tablet in their gift bags. I mean that'd be like if my Irish ancestors had gotten a free pony at Ellis Island...wtf man?

Merlin the duck, who became a viral sensation during the 2026 World Cup, traded the streets of Mexico City for the presidential palace when President Claudia Sheinbaum welcomed him and his family to her morning press conference.

This is a fight between the volunteers of the Democratic Party and the consultant/billionaire class of the Democratic Party. That's what it is.

man all this thread

Parks and Reich

How do you know elon is lying? His lips are moving...and his hair

"This will last for at least 50 years and you'll never have a leak. It's very strong. You couldn't -- if you had a knife -- I don't want to give anybody ideas. If you had a knife, you can't even cut it, so strong, so powerful. It's a powerful rubber. It is beautiful, sealed."

1. She changed her ID to comply with Kansas’ new anti-trans law. Now, the state wants to put her in jail for having an inaccurate license. Kris Ripper is being charged with driving with an invalid license—a class B misdemeanor—after a cop refused to believe the ID the state forced on her was valid.

JFC what a load of crap

If a reflecting pool scandal knocks him down it would be absolutely fitting for these stupid times

“Habiba was there with her wife. She was also wounded in the attack. They were rushed to the hospital together. No updates on her.”

man these folks cholesterol levels must be interesting

Rest in Peace Clive Davis he was a pretty big deal in his day

So who on here has been bitching about mutual aid?

Mallard ducks (and their ducklings) are one of the hardiest species of waterfowl so seriously wtf did trump do to that pool?

this is soviet union level bullshit

Understand: Trump is having random police departments arrest (or issue citations to) people sticking their hand in the reflecting pool to COVER UP how his corrupt contracting fucked up the reflecting pool. These arrests are a criminal cover-up of Trump's own corruption.

You may have heard Social Security will "go broke" in 6 years. That's not close to true. And if people making over $192K paid the same tax % as everyone else for FICA, it is set for 30 years. Or, we could fund it like ANYTHING ELSE, if we choose. jakehasablog.blogspot.com/2026/06/soci... #EconSky

Gotta love the futility of the one or two protestors coming to a Pride festival with 800,000+ people to yell about Jesus My man there are more lesbian United Church of Christ pastors here than y'all. That's not even counting the other denominations and the many pastors who aren't lesbians

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to show up in full combat gear on a hot summer day to the pool he filled with algae because he gave a paint job to one of his cigar puffing cronies. you are ordered to stop tourists from touching the green water. good luck soldier

Algifa!

I always show younger people this picture of the San Francisco choir from 1993 with the only survivors in white to show how devastating AIDS was.

Kash Patel going to start going after these folks like J Edgar hunting Dillinger

Happy Juneteenth

Well if your answer to why we should never give out no-bid contracts is because you may end up giving a contract to the guy who bribed a notorious congressman decades ago then you my friend were made for this crazy moment in America

the EASTWOOD MALL GUY who RUINED THE REFLECTING POOL is the person who BRIBED JIM TRAFICANT AND GOT HIM KICKED OUT OF CONGRESS oh my god this cannot be real what year is it do i need a new carbon monoxide alarm

It gets better. His company’s name: Greenwater Services. Did he once pay a bribe to Jim Traficant: yes, of course

No one knows why it's been canceled but Madison pets rejoice!

With all that $$$ Thiel could hire the best minds to be with him day and night as long as need be to teach him to be a NORMAL human being

Ian is trustworthy, and there are going to be people among the Minneapolis 15 who don't qualify for the Federal Public Defender and can't find a pro bono defense. Part of what the Feds are counting on is crushing defendants under massive legal costs to force them to flip and/or plead. Fight back.

jezazz christ this motherfucker can't do A.N.Y.T.H.I.N.G right 😜

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

Today it is 43 years since Sally Ride became the first woman and lesbian astronaut to visit space! She's without a doubt my favorite astronaut, and truly an icon

How did this happen? Elon Musk is how that happened

How about let's talk about no one should own an owl

The unimaginable gall of asking the first question. And it's not even rare.

HOLY SMOKES! Moscow right now 🔥🔥🔥

It would have been unimaginable pre-trump to hear Republicans say oh yes Iran needs missiles. There ought to be no return from this level of debasement.

Ok I think the writers of this season need to be fired

I think GOP gubernatorial candidate Tom Tiffany should jump on the band wagon of this issue with his fellow goper. please 🙏

‘Well, GOP, you're facing a tough midterm election environment with an unpopular president, costs still rising, a war no one wants, and a new corruption scandal damn near every day. How are you going to turn it around?’ Wisconsin Republican: we're going after the Green Bay Packers

It's like a mob bust-out. He's going to sell off and destroy the whole country

We're half awake in a fake empire

If the Iran deal was so great he'd be bragging about it not keeping it secret. He is after all the guy who called local news just hours after the 9/11 attacks to brag that The Trump Building was now the tallest building in downtown Manhattan, replacing the World Trade Center.
