Happy Pride Missoula!!!!!

Sonic fans rule

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

***Does not apply if you're trans and under the age of 19.

5. The loss is significant. Mace made targeting transgender people the defining project of her congressional career. She championed the ban on McBride and all transgender people from using restrooms in the Capitol, then escalated with a sweeping federal bathroom ban bill (that did not pass)

1. Nancy Mace, Congress's top anti-trans voice, ran for SC governor and finished 5th, a familiar placement number for anti-trans activists. Trans Congresswoman Sarah McBride then took to the stage with a little bit of snark, wishing her "Happy Pride!" Subscribe to support our journalism.

The only thing that would have made stunt queen Nancy Mace's humiliating showing in the SC primary for governor more delicious is if the candidate who won were a trans woman.

What infuriates me is liberals acting like we should be grateful for these crumbs. Like we should, as they do, sacrifice our younger siblings' lives and futures for this 'ceasefire' of a clinic. Fuck them all. They will not break us.

8. And Mamdani is not powerless here. He has significant power over an 11-hospital, 70+ clinic public health system. He promised $65 million. He has enforcement tools he hasn't touched. This is the largest city in America choosing not to fight.

3. His health commissioner then made the same choice, cited the same fears, and used Trump's own age cutoff of 19—not New York's legal age of adulthood, 18. That's not imperfect progress. That's the opposite of what he promised.

1. This article has made waves. I have tried to push Mayor Mamdani to be better in my reporting, and I am sad that it has not worked. I have seen many questions about this story, and I want to talk about some of them. Read on.

6. "But shouldn't we accept less than perfect and fight the real enemy?" Here's what worries me most: this sets a precedent far beyond one clinic in Queens. If the most progressive mayor in America voluntarily adopts Trump's age cutoff, what does every hospital board in the country take from that?

whats absolutely absurd is that the amount of money wasted on this facility for a an incredibly small number of people who will actually use it. Like the population of trans people in the US is pretty small already. Conservatives and people who buy into their tripe are so fucking stupid.

Understated consequence of this: how can you convince your hospital board that it must keep offering trans youth care if one of the leftmost politicians in America set his new clinic at 19 and over? It sets a horrible precedent.

Mamdani being a huge coward when it comes to trans youth is genuinely enraging. They will tell us with a straight face how hard it is. Do you know how hard it is for a trans youth who has had to move states and had 3 providers drop them and now has no options? Try that.

No Pride with transphobes.

Jasmine Crockett response to Trump calling her low IQ: “Every time you say my name, you’re reminding the world that you’re terrified of smart, bold Black women telling the truth”

Look at my beautiful cat.

Games are for everyone. Not just you. Not just your gender. Not just your race. For EVERYONE. A game featuring a character who has at least one characteristic different than you is not an agenda, it's just different from you. The game is still for you too, and everyone else.

5. The data makes one thing clear: there is no LGB without the T. As it has been for our entire history, our rights are deeply interconnected, and those who target one part of this community will not stop until they have come for all of it.

I would like to congratulate my wonderful wife, @zoandbehold.bsky.social, for winning her primary! She ran unopposed and will also be unopposed in the general, meaning for 3 election cycles in a row, Montana will have a trans woman (and kick ass human) in the legislature.

To my dog’s original owner: Fuck you. Fuck you for surrendering them because they ended up having special needs. Fuck you because taking my belt off scares them. Fuck you for giving them a reason to not trust humans. But, guess what? They do trust humans and have one who won’t give up on them.

You just voted two weeks ago to ban any mention of LGBTQ people from federally funded schools and to forcibly out trans kids. Don't you dare come here and say happy pride.

You aren’t invited to our month.

It's June 1st, which means Pride month begins today. It's my 7th Pride as myself, and I find myself realizing something this year. Everything beautiful survived something to get here. I muse about Pride, picking up birding, and what we have been through. Happy Pride.

Corruption in plain sight. It will take a decade to fix this debacle. #TrumpCorruption

The climate emergency is manifesting and we have very few politicians and even fewer journalists championing any kind of action. We are heading for an eco collapse and we’re pretending like all is fine. It’s why I decided not to have children 30 years ago. I suspected it would play out like this.

Our Jack Russell Terrier fell in our pool today and sunk to the bottom. My wife, who was in her PJ's, dove into 45 degree water and saved her life! It might sound dumb to some people, but today, my wife is my hero! Original post

I live for the day that a conservative drops all the religious virtue-signalling nonsense and talks like a normal adult and says something like: “I filed for divorce because my spouse betrayed me.” Conservatives are so damn tiring with their childish theatrics.

Never a trans person. Never a drag queen. ALWAYS a law enforcement officer, evangelical minister and/or Republican politician. (h/t @steviegeee.bsky.social)

When I say I will never vote for Gavin Newsom. When I say I’d take another Republican congress over Democrats that abandon trans people. This is why. When your largest left of center party goes the way of Labour in the UK, you’ve lost all hope. I will never do it.

Every American should be disgusted by this.

The system working as intended. They want to push trans youth to either leave the state or take their own lives. Idaho got both outcomes here and now the lawsuit against them has to be dismissed.

Totally “new” ideas…

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

Teacher here. You can go ahead and throw me in jail if this becomes law. Not all trans students are safe in their homes. I will not allow them to come to harm because I outed them.

The fact that Thomas Massie lost a Republican primary because he wants pedophiles to face justice tells you everything you need to know about the state of the Republican party.

Trans people are not “fighting for unpopular positions that society isn’t ready for.” Trans people are fighting to KEEP the rights we have enjoyed for decades. We have been able to legally change our gender markers since the 70s and before. Same with bathrooms, sports, youth, all for decades.

6. The judge had similarly strong words towards Chloe Cole, Angela Turpin, Farr Curlin, and Cori Cohn.

7. The judge had particularly strong words towards Jamie Reed:

1. A Kansas Judge has struck down the anti-trans "experts" the ADF parades. "Cherry-picked information, conjecture, and research taken out of context," ruled Judge Folsom III. He then established 349 facts that support trans care and reversed the Kansas ban. Subscribe to support our journalism.

4. Central to his ruling: Forcing trans youth to experience their endogenous puberty when puberty blockers are indicated is distressing and irreversible, and not only fails to protect minors, it endangers them.

1. Incredible breaking news and a landmark ruling out of Colorado. The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that hospitals MUST not capitulate to Trump, and must continue offering trans youth care under state law. They found vague federal threats "speculative." Subscribe to support our journalism.

Because “I’m not a scientist” is a shield, and “I’m basically a gynecologist” is a weapon.

And requiring 5 times the power and water supplied to surrounding counties.

So, Trump failed to report tens of millions of dollars, in totally not insider stock trades, and he was fined... $200. $200 bucks. What is the fucking point? It's like we're living in someone's idea of a joke.

Fuck people who say video games can’t be art. Video games are very much art. The way I see art it’s facet of creation and pouring you emotions into a piece of work. There are many games out there where people poured their soul into it and take the medium to new heights.
