Saying there are “too many non-working holidays” on Juneteenth is so on brand for a man who is actively trying to erase Black history. This from the same man who’s wasted over $26 million in taxpayer dollars and spent more than 30 days golfing since January 20, 2025? Please.

Brian Wilson heard immensely beautiful things the rest of us do not. We can be grateful that he did the hard work to make all of that real for us. From his brilliant mind to our ears. May he find harmony in the eternal summer. RIP Brian. Many thanks. www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2...

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

More details are emerging as Rep. Joaquin Castro meets with the deported family of the 11yo U.S. citizen girl in Mexico. CBP agents *confiscated her seizure meds.* That’s not law enforcement—it’s abuse. Keep reposting. Keep raising hell. Be a voice for the voiceless. #OnYourSide

There is a woman at this coffee shop leading a full-on Zoom meeting on her laptop. Who does this? So rude! And the meeting is so boring! At least let me hear something interesting. If I hear the word implementation one more time, I will scream.
