1. Missoula, Montana has cleverly voted to defy the Pride flag ban by making the it "an official city flag." This comes after a law banned the flying of the flag but made an exception for "official flags." Now, the Pride flag will fly defiantly in the state. Subscribe to support our journalism.

When @bradtakei.bsky.social and I first got together, we never imagined we’d one day celebrate Pride openly, let alone post about it on the internet. But here we are, joy and all. Happy Pride, everyone! Let’s keep showing up, speaking out, and marching forward (glitter optional, but encouraged). 🌈✨

As a child, the U.S. government forced George Takei and his parents to live in an American internment camp during WWII. After the war, his family was left without a home or any resources to get by. He went on to become an award-winning actor and a lifelong advocate for immigrants' rights.

What will it take for you to speak out about ICE? They are ignoring court orders. They are abducting people in broad daylight. Will it take them coming after your family for you to speak out? That'll be to late. Call your 2 Senators & your Congressional rep at 202-224-3121 right now.

Evasion of peer review is a hallmark of pseudoscience. But even more insidious is the obviation of scientific scrutiny by publishing in pseudoscientific journals that exist to provide an illusion of scientific legitimacy. There’s nothing new about MAHA’s propaganda tactics.

The Alien Enemies Act paved the way for the U.S. government to detain Japanese-Americans during WWII, including George Takei and his family. We're fighting the Trump administration's use of this wartime law to illegally deport immigrant communities.

Students across America are standing up and speaking out against the unhinged Trump regime. Protests erupted on Harvard’s campus, in response to Trump’s war on the university. And yesterday, more than 500 students from dozens of NYC high schools walked out of class to protest ICE’s abuse of power.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.
