"The valorization of Kirk by his far-right defenders is an insult to millions of the most marginalized Americans who lived every day in the crosshairs of his rhetoric."

Ta-Nehisi Coates reveals the real Charlie Kirk. "If you would look away from the words of Charlie Kirk, from what else would you look away?"

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

“Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives. In this same period, far-left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks that took 78 lives.”

An Iowa official defied the governor’s orders to fly flags at half-staff for Charlie Kirk, writing he wouldn't honor a man who "did so much harm"

"Too sexy for Portofino" is a cheeky slogan for Rapallo, a coastal town of 30,000 residents nestled across the Gulf of Tigullio from Portofino—and yes, it's sexy at Grand Hotel Bristol Spa Resort. @smallluxuryhotels.bsky.social @nytravelwriters.bsky.social www.travelweekly.com/Europe-Trave...

Same-sex relationships have existed since time immemorial. What’s newly visible is the notion that engaging in them might be an exclusive preference and defining quality.

Each year on the last Sunday in June, we March with Pride down Fifth Ave, and one thing we’ve learned in more than four decades together is that you can’t outlaw queer joy—and when you March on the last Sunday in June, you’re surrounded with joy and love, and you realize anew that Pride is Power.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

if ice comes don’t open door -ask to see badge through window Ask for warrant signed by judge. Tell them to slide it under door. Only open door if ICE shows you a judicial search or arrest warrant naming person at your address. If no warrant, keep door closed: www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...
