It's time for the Pride Birds! #lgbt #pridemonth

Happy pride month

There's so much suffering and cruelty in the world. I know we have to acknowledge it because we have to demand justice and improve. But there's also a lot of love and joy in the world too, I'm really trying these days to remember both.

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.

If you have no intention of practicing accountability, you have no business going near matters of governance.

No more masked ICE agents. Unmask the terrorists.

MAGA’s new motto: punish the poor, protect the powerful. Trump and his crew are pushing work requirements for food, housing, and healthcare—while handing out tab breaks to billionaires. If they really cared about “fraud”, they’d start with their own damn tax returns.

this pride month please remember that big corporations are not your friend and we really shouldn't be getting too excited about them including a 0.1 second shot of a rainbow flag in their commercial or some shit okay

Due process is fundamental to America. This should not be up for debate.

Selling off national parks to private corporations is theft — of land, ecosystems, and public trust. Once they’re sold, they’re stripped, drilled, mined, and wrecked. And most of that damage can’t be undone.

Don't look forward to the head of FEMA sacrificing a virgin to appease the angry gods once hurricane season really gets going

You want to Make America Great Again? Start by banning the bribes. Citizens United turned Congress into a flea market, votes for sale. Fire every crook trading stocks on insider tips. Kick out the lobbyists. Elect people who serve you, not their wallets. Until the money’s gone, nothing changes.

it’s insane that having empathy is becoming a political liability for so many americans

To hate another human being for their gender identity or sexual orientation is the marker of someone whose humanity is fundamentally broken.

Day 1194 of my 3 day war. A month ago I turned down a ceasefire that would have stopped the drone attack from happening. I remain a master strategist.

IT’S PRIDE MONTH IN THE SKY

A man threw Molotov cocktails at people in Boulder, Colorado? Including children? People have lost done their damn minds. Absolutely nothing warrants that kind of behavior.

My home of Missoula just voted to establish the pride flag as an official government flag of the city, thereby circumventing the state's asinine pride flag ban. 🏳️‍🌈 Missoula is once again showing how to fight back against policies that seek to erase the LGBTQ community.

They should just do the presidential daily briefing as a puppet show. Dummy proof!

People that massacre civilians are no ally of mine.

"You let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up! Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one and if they ever figure that out there goes our way of life!" Ants, our day will come. In the meantime, rest up for the road ahead. And maybe (re)watch A Bug's Life this week. GN 💚🐜

i think it’s important to remember that the erosion of empathy and community in this society has been purposefully part of the christian nationalist project (to erode trust in both other people and government services to make room for the rollback of those services and the rise of authoritarianism)

#refugeeswelcome #nooneisillegal #wereallstrangers

Stop the genocide. Argue semantics later.

Pride is in full bloom.

The acting head of FEMA, a Trump appointee, told staff today he didn’t know the U.S. has a hurricane season. FEMA is dangerously unprepared this year.

Brands during Pride month: 🌈 Exxon: no matter who you love, we’ll make sure your children don’t have a livable planet 🌈 Amazon: we treat all of our warehouse workers like dirt, regardless of their sexual orientation 🌈 Raytheon: our tomahawk missiles don’t discriminate

If you want to astound a younger American today, tell them that thirty years ago there was actually a years-long investigation into a president's personal business dealings and, even better, it centered on a real estate venture where he *lost* money.

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year.  This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

How much stranger can it really be at this point

Literally no-one wants to "learn more" about the permissions we're granting to a website, we just want to refuse them

REMINDER: 72 million patients currently rely on Medicaid. It’s the largest provider of long-term care in the country. Under Medicaid, people are healthier and have the security of health care coverage.

We’re all going to die, but Congress shouldn’t be making it easier for us to get there and that’s exactly what the House’s budget bill does. Medicaid provides lifesaving care and Congress should protect it, not decimate it.

The Medicaid bullshit is driving me up a wall. We’re going to kick a million people off of healthcare who are not overwhelming the system, they aren’t at fault for any reason the economy is fucked, Medicaid isn’t “going broke” or in need of fixing, no problem is being solved, just deathcult bullshit

conflict avoidance is one of the biggest cultural norms preventing the left from building power. there are too many in our movement who think direct confrontation and disagreement and debate is beyond the pale but shit talking you behind your back is just fine.

happy gay everyone 🌸☀️🌊

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.

Happy pride month ❤️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Not all taxes are tariffs, but all tariffs are taxes.
