Pride is a celebration. Pride is also a powerful statement about courage, community, and determination. We honor the trailblazers who came before us, join arms with those leading the fight for equality today, and empower the next generation to live boldly, freely, and with joy.

Chaos leads nowhere good.

Chicago fighting back against ICE. You love to see it 💪

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

If you had important information for voters, and kept it to yourself to sell books after it was too late, you’re not a hero. You’re an asshole.

Built by Palantir. Sanctioned by Trump. Target: You. open.substack.com/pub/welivedi...

"A national network that pledges to coordinate, mobilize, and support one another when any single institution comes under attack..." www.standtogetherhighered.org

“One Big Beautiful Bill”? Try one big, bold-faced lie. They swore this mess wouldn’t add to the deficit…but the nonpartisan budget office says otherwise. $2.4 TRILLION added to the deficit—and for what? Tax cuts for the rich.

Happy Fragile Straight Man Month!

Gosh if only we had a leader who followed this simple decent advice.

“If this can happen in a Member of Congress’s office, it can happen to anyone — and it is happening...” www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

“One more question, sir. You wrote a book about the former president's cognitive issues, but the current president posted that the former president was executed in 2020 and replaced by a mindless, soulless robot with cancer. What am I missing here?”

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

FUN FACT: Lindsey Graham can't swim, but over half the male sex workers he hires can.

In a healthy information environment, this would be front-page news.

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

The One Big Beautiful Bill (H.R.1) is not just a budget; it’s an authoritarian blueprint. We must act now. Call your senators. Flood their phones, inboxes, and social feeds. Tell them to vote NO on H.R.1. Our future depends on it. #StopHR1 #ProtectDemocracy #ActNow (1 of 2)

7th District Congressman Eric Burlison won’t bother to engage with his constituents, but I will. I drove fours hours for this meeting and it was standing room only in Joplin, Missouri. #LFG

Statement from Buona Forchetta about the ICE raid last night. 💔

Ukrainian ingenuity unleashed a 1.5-year clandestine drone strike obliterating 41 Russian bombers deep in enemy territory. Putin’s forces retaliate with massive drone barrage. Peace talks loom while Kremlin’s fucking brutality persists. apnews.com/article/r...

A drug addict usurped congressional power, and unilaterally gutted US soft power. Members of the administration knew about, and were disturbed by, his drug use (WSJ). Isn’t this a cover-up?

Bravo, Pete!! 👍

VOTER: “But people will die!” (if you kick them of Medicaid) ERNST: “Well, we all are going to die.”

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

GOP Sen. Joni Ernst responds to voters saying that cutting Medicaid will kill them: “Well, we all are going to die.”

Okay, I’ve GOT to get one of these, lol. 🌮 #TACOTrump

Reality. Zip tied kids

I want Trump to say that he won't appoint *any* member of FedSoc, just so we can watch all of these people run for the exits and try to distance themselves from Leo now that he's been unpersoned.

Oh

Seriously. Why ain't this a thing

Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

We are governed by a lunatic

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people
