ATTN: If you’re a member of the National Guard or you work for ICE and you’re asked to violate the law or your oath, contact Whistleblower Aid to safely, securely, and legally blow the whistle. You can support Whistleblower Aid HERE: whistlebloweraid.org/beans

Best advice I've seen for this crowd

The last time the National Guard was called up by the president was when Lyndon B. Johnson sent forces to Alabama to guard civil rights demonstrators. And now, it's totally flipped

President Trump's second term has been a payday for the rich and powerful, with no benefit to the middle and working class who supported him. But his base is still loyal, and they love how cruel he's being to others. Someone should tell them that they are not going to benefit at all.

It's time for everyone to show up at ICE offices with their strongest "I'd like to speak with the manager" energy

LGBTQ people will always be here. And we were at World Pride in DC.

DO NOT get the DC pride parade today and the Trump military parade next week mixed up. How awkward...

Secretary Bessent getting into a fist fight with Musk is how we celebrate pride this year.

Please remember that one week after the world pride and DC pride, Trump will throw himself and expensive parade that will serve as propaganda. Don't ever let anyone tell you that pride parades are a problem.

The Trump administration's spending cuts and restrictions on foreign students are triggering a brain drain — and American scientists are panicking. China is getting all the smart people.

I really love the in depth thoughtfulness of @unclosetedmedia.bsky.social. Today, they ask why, when nearly 1 in 4 of GenZ identify as LGBTQ, are there no out athletes in men's professional sports leagues. We've had a few. But they eventually leave or retire. We need several across our leagues.

This is really a huge deal. A treatment...dare I say cure, seems closer than ever. I really really wish that the USA was part of the solution. But I'm very happy that others are still advancing the cause

Happy Pride Month, lovelies! This image (Queer rights are civil rights) is close to the phrase I've been saying: LGBTQ values are American values

Trump’s policy toward the Kremlin is “at a dead end,”

I've been saying this for years. We can't stop communicating after the election. In fact, after the election is the best time to talk about vision and values.

For pride @unclosetedmedia.bsky.social has a deep dive into the state of gay bars (really LGBTQ bars) in the USA. There are gay bars in every state except Wyoming and North Dakota Montana, South Dakota, Kansas, New Mexico and Vermont have just one gay bar.

Pride has always been powered by storytellers — the creators and truth-tellers who dare to envision a more just world. Our stories only reinforce that LGBTQ people are in every American family and share American values of fairness and the freedom to be who you are. (1/3) glaad.org/pride-2025/

It is nice to see. It takes people who don't care more about their reputation than their impact on the world.

We have been cooking at home for a while. It saves a ton of money and gets us healthier food. But it does take time, which many people don't have.

Local law enforcement agencies in Texas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia have been most cooperative with ICE in rounding up immigrants through deals known as 287 (g) agreements. There are 629 such agreements now in place across the country.

"You don't have the cards," President Trump dismissively told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during their Oval Office blow-up in February. Three months later, Zelensky destroyed Russian aircraft deep inside Russia.

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.

Trump, in public, has been all over the place on China, much like he has on trade policy.

Saddened that Poland elected a Trump aligned leader. They were making such good pictures on LGBTQ stuff, and I suspect this is going to be a major setback

In July, I'm running The Naming Project, an LGBTQ youth Church camp. It's an amazing, faithful experience. If you know young people, please share this with them.
