The nonpartisan Government Accountability Office says the Trump administration broke the law by withholding funding for the nation’s libraries as part of its federal reorganization plan. The G.A.O. will sue if the administration continues to block funds already approved by Congress.

Police have arrested the Minnesota terrorist… He's not an immigrant. He's not a drag queen. He's just another white nationalist MAGAT murderer… Nothing more.

Mark this for the history books: “We’re talking about the president exercising his authority, and the president is of course limited to his authority. That’s the difference between a constitutional government and King George,” said Judge Charles Breyer.

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

Whatever your personal beliefs on Assisted Dying, we should all be able to agree on 2 fundamentals: No means no. If a patient doesn’t want it, end of discussion. It should never be offered in lieu of care or social supports. If it is, it’s not compassion. It’s eugenics 🧵

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

I want to give another bump to my story on a project about the history of burlesque in Nova Scotia. Interesting interviews and great photos. I feel like this one got kind of lost since I published it on a Friday afternoon. Not paywalled. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/arts-and-cul...

Worried about those government contracts, are you? We regret everything you've done to destroy our Country You have the opportunity to be a great philanthropist but you choose evil and cruelty You're sick You're an addict 3AM posting this. You high, bro?

Please stop saying ICE agents are “wearing masks” They’re wearing face coverings. Gaitors. The anti-mask rhetoric has caused untold harm to disabled people. Mask bans have already been enacted in many places. We must fight for our right to continue wearing medical masks & respirators.

Sly Stone, pioneering leader of funk band Sly and the Family Stone, has died at 82

Study after study show immigrants are a net positive to the US economy, and yet they don’t get the same benefits that citizens do. Hate is in power. Hate is winning. We need to fight back. Humanist values will win. And the children of these hateful people will look at their parents in disgust.

Dear USA Deploying troops against civilians will not go well. Yours Great Britain and Northern Ireland

see, the thing *i’m* genuinely worried about is that RFK will effectively ban vaccines

Pardoning violent criminals and arresting researchers.    Trump's America.

Healthcare should be a basic human right. Kicking millions of Medicaid in a pay to play system is social murder. It’s eugenics. It’s telling the most vulnerable in society that they’re not worth protecting. Please keep fighting the Medicaid cuts. Demand Universal healthcare for all!

To recap, narcissistic rage and decompensation confirmed that in the relationship between two exploitative narcissistic psychopaths: • Elon knowingly paid $290 million to get an Epstein pedophile elected to the Presidency. • Elon is 100% certain he got Trump elected.

You hate to see it

Here it is. It has happened. We have the perfect social media post.

WE KEPT THE FAITH AND ARE BEING REWARDED

Trump is closing a major airport to accommodate a military parade for his birthday – the parade is estimated to cost as much as $45 million. This coming from the president who said little girls are fine with 2 dolls not 30. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I don't know if the addlebrained authoritarian going to war with the ketamine-fueled fugue state zillionaire is going to end without bystanders harmed. But shit is hard and this is funny so I'm willing to take a beat to enjoy it.

My favorite part is that Elon wrecked his companies with a Nazi salute for NOTHING. LOL! Great stuff.

Well dressing is a tradition done in Derbyshire in the summer months. Locals decorate wells, springs, & other water sources with elaborate works of art made from flower petals. This may have evolved from pagan customs of leaving offerings for gods at wells. #LegendaryWednesday

Sending y’all an excellent June the Third day from Australia! 🏴‍☠️🫡 #OFMD

Pride Month so far: Jonathan Joss is murdered in a disgusting hate crime and the Navy intentionally announces they are changing the name of the USNS HARVEY MILK. America... now more than ever... David Lynch's words ring loudly. "Fix your hearts or die." This cannot be our normal.

Spread the love and acceptance #pridemonth

I threw my phone down and took a break from the Internet for a few hours because I saw a blue state liberal blaming Jonathan Joss for staying in Texas. Finally came back and I see the same goddamn take from somebody else. He was Comanche. Texas was his home.

This is so beautiful, the folks at @phabns.bsky.social are really working hard to preserve the long history of Burlesque in #NovaScotia. Going all the way back to the 1800s to the now Neo-Burlesque era, if you are at tonight's Atlantic Burlesque Festival, stop by their table! #Halifax #HaliSky

Thank you to everyone who came to visit us at our booth at the Atlantic Burlesque Festival 💗 And thank you to the @atlanticburlesquefestival for supporting us by having us there this weekend.

Happy Pride!

This guy is some piece of work, isn’t he?! 👇 You gotta be proud, Florida… Disgusting place. Florida. Is. America’s. Taint. 😎🌈✨

#Measles is not being spread in Canada by visitors or temporary workers. It’s being spread by unvaccinated people infected with measles.

I am “my favorite spot in the world is my own backyard” years old.

It’s strange to watch Americans memorialize soldiers who died for democracy whilst they giddily embrace fascism.

Tariffs were NEVER going to “bring manufacturing back to the US.” There are many reasons, including: •Even with tariffs, US labor is prohibitively expensive •America’s supply chain isn’t ready •Most Americans don’t want to do manufacturing jobs •Not enough unemployed workers to fill new factories

“Ultimately what we are now witnessing is the cumulative effect of greed on mankind. The destruction of nature for profit, the destruction of our democracy to serve the needs of the wealthiest among us.”

I love Pedro. Period.

When someone dies of a disease like Covid or measles, the first question is often “did they have any pre-existing conditions?” People want to blame the victim. They want to believe they were vulnerable & therefore expendable. No one is expendable. Demand better from governments & public health.
