Your daily dose of June PRIDE.

All 3 congressional candidates backed by Mamdani have won: Chevalier, Brad Lander, and Claire Valdez. What does that say about the shift from center-left to left in the Democratic Party, at least, on the East Coast? Is Democratic Socialism the antidote for MAGA?

While it isn't an acronym, "PRIDE" was sometimes used by historical organizations, such as the 1966 LA group Personal Rights In Defense and Education, which set a new precedent for unapologetic queer activism by fighting police brutality, championing gay rights, and establishing The Advocate.

Today is the summer solstice and the first day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.

I'm just going to leave this right here

I don’t know the name of the artist but this is spot on.

If you haven’t had a moment of “Awww” today, here’s one before bed.

So, how cool is this? episcopalnewsservice.org/2026/06/08/g...

No wonder I’m such an Anglophile. Leave it to Ian McClellan and Stephen Colbert to address the “problem” of immigration. Oh, there are problems, to be sure, but none so difficult as those that lie in the human heart. www.instagram.com/reel/DUXMaLm...

A Pastoral Letter from Bishop Carlye Hughes on mass deportation. myemail.constantcontact.com/Pastoral-Let...

This is the official White House web page. It is horrific and sophomoric and disgusting. I just can't believe we have stooped this low. www.whitehouse.gov/aliens/

This Sept 3-5, in Minneapolis, The Episcopal Church will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the passage of Resolution A069. As we prepare to celebrate, several of us are discovering some of the “stony roads we trod” on the way to “full inclusion.” elizabethkaeton.substack.com/p/in-those-d...

I'll believe it when I see it but I would pay good money to see it.

I don't know how to express what a Really Big Deal this actually is. Seriously. Big. Deal. episcopalnewsservice.org/2026/06/01/e...

Oh, God help me, but I absolutely LOVE these Marco memes

The White House calls this "micro-napping." Okay. Whatever. You know, this is not an original thought, but it seems to me that Trump's repeated administration of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment is not that his doctors are just assessing cognitive impairment, but actively monitoring it.

If Mr. Castro fights extradition, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, a Democrat, would need to make a formal request for his extradition to Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas, a Republican. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/29/u...

The boy's mother told The Texas Tribune they were put in an "impossible situation" and added, "How do you trust the prosecution to go back to a case that they want to plead out when they're the ones that are supposed to fight for it, and they don't want to do it?" www.snopes.com/fact-check/k...
