Thanks President Obama!

Trump has now rolled back fishing protections in every U.S. Marine National Monument, opening millions of acres of previously protected ocean waters to commercial fishing. The move threatens critical habitat for whales, sea turtles, sharks, coral reefs, and other marine life.

I'm just gonna leave this here.

I don't want to hear "how are we going to pay for it" ever again in response to a politician proposing actually helping people

She should name names.

By the way Jane and fellow performers are putting on a show so you don't have to watch the grisly crisis of masculinity on the White House lawn.

It’s not hyperbole that part of what kept the queer liberation movement going in the Reagan era was the partying part of the “bury your friends in the morning, protest in the afternoon, and dance at night” schedule. Without joy there is no air left to fight

I heard it’s Barack Obama Appreciation Day.

Just as the engineers said it would.

All I'm saying is: We all want the same thing: To not die of dysentery because RFK thinks vaccines are bullshit To not die stupid To be able to love people, whoever they are. That's it.

The great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar reflecting on the Knicks and, separately, Donald Trump. A terrific piece of writing. "Pulling out of that [Meet the Press] interview [with Kristin Welker] was the only honest thing Donald Trump did all hour. Trump hates strong women, he hates proud people of color...

Oh hey! That's me talking about aromantic representation over on Publishers Weekly! 💚✌️ www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Happy Pride to the city of Oslo.

Pride, New York, June of 1990

Right away he shook his head and took a step back and sputtered, "No. Thank you. No. No." Then he glanced at the display again and went on in this quiet, wistful voice, "But. I just ... I'm glad you're doing this. For the young ones." 5/

Happy Pride to the memory of Pamela Colman Smith.

Happy Pride to Cassandra Peterson.

Happy Pride to the city of Boise.

Happy Pride! Folks on the asexual and aromantic spectrum are queer too. The A in LGBTQIA+ belongs to us, not allies. Being queer isn't only about who you fuck.

Nothing says ‘freedom’ like burning taxpayer money on dirt bikes at the White House for a billionaire’s birthday party. Bread’s expensive, rent’s worse, but sure, let’s fund a midlife crisis with fireworks and motocross. Peak empire decay. America is not a serious country.

I am always amazed at how our government funds all these projects with taxpayer dollars then merely hands the projects to the corporations so they can charge us for the use and make huge profits.

You and me, US taxpayers should own NVIDIA and SpaceX and chunks of all the bigs, in proportion to the tax dollars they’ve gotten over the decades. Federalize Amazon and UPS to make a real global Postal Service.

Fascists lie about their own motivations. They try to make themselves interesting when they're just violent abusers.

RFK claimed to have brain worms. that seems like a fun way to delegitimize him. But he was saying that as an excuse to cut off his ex-wife without financial support. It was an abuse tactic. She killed herself soon afterwards.

Musk says he turned Nazi because his daughter transitioned. this seems like a supervillain origin story which makes Musk look bad. but it's a lie. it's just a way to blame Vivian Wilson, his daughter, for her own abuse.

I wrote about Musk and his daughter and how fascist lie even when they seem to be confessing or humiliating themselves. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/fascists-l...

They always blame women.

JACOBS: You said the war is over. So who won? MARCO RUBIO: We define victory as destroying their defense base, significantly reducing missile launchers, significantly reducing their stockpile of drones. We achieved all those. I consider that victory. J: That's not what the intel community says

Rubio: I have never seen Trump fall asleep. Lieu: I’m going to show you a video that shows you just lied to congress. Here is a video of him asleep while you are talking.

Jacobs to Rubio: "You're saying we're winning because the Iranian economy has inflation and it's costing them millions a day in lost revenue. Well, we are having inflation. It's already cost us an estimated $100 billion, gas prices are up ... "

Hey writers, editors, & anyone who uses Google workspace because there’s no other viable alternative - in addition to turning off Smart features, make sure you toggle off this new mess of nonsense hidden in the Admin settings.

Breaking 🚨 A new report on CBP & #ICELawlessness.. These agencies are packed with abusers & criminals. Don't turn away. Shine a light on this so everyone knows where their taxpayer dollars are going. These thugs aren't going after the worst of the worst. They are the worst of the worst.

This is a grim article for pride month. Reporting might benefit from some data granularity, especially age. I see a huge gulf between younger folks and olds on LGBTQ+ issues. That gulf gives me hope. apnews.com/article/gall...

BESSENT: I believe the president's remarks were taken out of context HASSAN: No. He said, 'I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about anybody.' That's a direct quote BESSENT: Groceries are going down HASSAN: When was the last time you were in a grocery store?

The Treasury Secretary doesn't know how inflation works. Reassuring.

ProPublica’s reporting “reveals a staggering level of corruption and influence peddling that superseded this process, enriching the President Trump’s son at the expense of U.S. national security and taxpayer dollars,” lawmakers wrote. www.propublica.org/article/dona...

Former human rights lawyer here: under international human rights law, bombing or gassing a medical facility is a crime against humanity. Last night, the NJ state police gassed the medic tent at Delaney Hall over and over and over again until medics had to abandon it and flee for their lives.

Multiple protestors very badly injured from rubber bullets at Delaney Hall and tear gas. The medic tent had to be abandoned because state police kept gassing it.
