Calm down…

When Dobbs came down, the media rightly saw it as the culmination of a decades long effort to eliminate abortion rights by the conservative legal movement. When Skrmetti came down, the media blamed trans people and not that same conservative legal machine. It's the same court and lawyers.

I'll say it over and over. I do not believe in gate keeping. I do not believe in pulling up the ladder. I believe in kicking the wall down like the Kool-Aid man, and making room as I go for those who come next. Just because it was hard for me, doesn't mean it has to be hard for anyone else.

He transformed fine dining on railroads for decades. 7 course meals with champagne. Now I’m lucky to get an old sandwich on Amtrak.

An important history lesson from the Grandmother of Juneteenth herself. op: blkcultureunlocked (via TikTok)

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

OK, this is how it's done.

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

Over and over again, this administration has steamrolled courts, precedent, logic, and democracy to push the United States into dangerous, uncharted territory. This might be the America of today, but we hold the America of tomorrow in OUR hands. op: newyorkermag

Mark Carney announces that kids can visit museums for free - an idea from the UK where almost all of our museums are free all year round

This is beyond cruel, especially for young folks who are going through it. Cutting off LGBTQ+ youth from specialized suicide prevention help is a death sentence disguised as bureaucracy. Shame on every official who signed off on this. You’re not protecting children, you’re abandoning them.

The anti-trans SCOTUS decision coinciding with the ditching of LGBTQ suicide hotline services brings the GOP hate fest more fully into the open. The consequences will be immediate and severe.

I love this Native woman’s spunk! However this should NEVER have happened.

Politics is doing you. Every day.

Jameela Jamil spitting facts

President of the Mexican Senate, "We'll build the wall and pay for it. But we'll do it according to the 1830 map of Mexico... Mexicans were settled in these territories before the U.S. The Mexicans living there are in what has always been their homeland."

My mood when it comes to the National Guard and the Marines’ invasion of LA…

Immigrants are essential to the backbone of our economy. Mass deportations and cruel policies against hardworking families don’t make us safer or stronger—they weaken us.

Turns out, the “Don’t Tread On Me” states’ rights gang is rather partial to heavy treading.

I feel attacked

Yeah bud!!!!

SUDDEN DRAISAITL. #LetsGoOilers

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible. We have always been here.
