Like I tell my students, corporations like to take advantage of pride month to pretend they care about their gay customers.

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.

I don’t know why I still watch Real Time but @sethmoulton.bsky.social and @jaketapper.bsky.social teaming up with Maher to shit on the party’s past mistakes is peak nothingburger, is the problem with media and politicians acting on bad faith.

Look at this sad little man, nodding off on drugs. Think of how much damage he’s done, not just to his brain and bladder but to our country. How soon til he pops his last balloon, and ODs?

It is going to be UGLY when they come to Philly. BTW, homeowners and renters! It’s summer: did you know wasp and hornet spray is accurate to about 20’? Just don’t get it in your eye or skin.

WATCH - @jessicatarlov.bsky.social on Fox: “If that was a Democratic dogemaster who showed up with a shiner and there was a report he did so much Ketamine he couldn’t pee straight… you would be leading your show with it.”

Canada welcomes the U.S. Court of International Trade’s decision on the United States’ tariffs. It confirmed what we’ve always held: that the American tariffs against Canadian goods are unlawful and unjustified.

Vladimir Putin is a sworn enemy of the United States. Appeasement was never going to work. Why is that so difficult to understand?

"Yes, Cuomo is awful, but I have some policy differences with the progressives, so this is hard." This is not hard. What you do is, you set aside your precious little checklist, and YOU DON'T VOTE FOR THE AWFUL PERSON.

“The U.S.A. that many will celebrate over the next couple of national holidays hardly exists anymore. That won’t stop the firecrackers and flags unfurling. The plastic patriotism that dumbs down future generations and purveys a cartoonish landscape of predators and ghouls posing as the good guys.”

She is an American citizen, the daughter of a U.S. Navy service member from Illinois, who was stationed in the Philippines during the Vietnam War. This is fascism, plain and simple.

Like this is Baltimore's whole problem. We have 1 subway and 1 light rail that don't connect to each other and 2 regional rails that also don't connect to each other and inadequate cycling infrastructure that doesn't connect properly to itself. Transit works when it's a *system*
