Worth noting that only 12 states have a greater population than NYC. Moreover, six states have fewer people than voted yesterday. I’d be careful about reading too much into this factoid.

Stealing a bit from someone else here: it's a good thing Congress isn't still alive to see this.

Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their golden retriever Gilbert will lie in state on Friday at the Capitol. Rep. Hortman and her husband were killed on June 14 in a “politically motivated assassination.”

If you get this reference, I tip my cap and pity you, not necessarily in that order.

Stunning, stunning photos and incredibly precious stories of formerly enslaved people here. Happy Juneteenth, y'all. None of us are free until we are all free.

Cannot deny that this sucks but here's the thing: We're not going anywhere. I'm still trans, I'm still here. Even if the government wants me to die, there are millions of people who want to help me live. If you're closeted or questioning and reading this, millions of people want to help you live.

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

ENDORSED. Haven't even read it yet and ENDORSED.

Good morning everyone… Just a reminder that no matter what happens today, none of it is Davey Martinez’ fault.

A senator celebrating the murder of political opponents should be expelled. Not debated. Not excused. Expelled.

Go to hell, Mike Lee. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Straight. To. Hell.

I’ve seen a lot of hand wringing about the dangers of going to No Kings protests and gently, I want to tell people to chill a little. These are permitted marches and the point is to be out there and seen en masse. Please don’t scare off people who are maybe going to their very first protest

Once got an email from a young woman in India asking if I was Matthew Perry’s manager. (I was not, dear reader.)

To be fair, the Nats have basically broken me so I don't bother overreacting anymore 😭

At some point social media went from “this is what I’m having for lunch today” to “I’m going to make my problems your problems”.

New AP poll, Trump is at -21 approval with more than twice as many Americans strongly disapproving (41) to strongly approving (20). Trump is wildly unpopular despite a relatively strong economic tailwind and other favorable conditions. Americans don't like dictators. apnorc.org/projects/mos...
