I go to bed tonight proud to know how many people are willing to stand up for what’s right — and how few are willing to rally for his hate. Night, all, and let us try to be good to one another — and ourselves.

Truly wild photos coming in from Los Angeles right now.

the squeak kills me

Sioux Falls Pride happened today and there are some thing to love about my hometown.

A couple people responded to my earlier post about the shoddy WSJ article to say “well it’s true that Democrats aren’t supporting the protests!” At my best count, 75 elected Democrats (Congresspeople, governors) attended protests today. Another 27 encouraged people to go.

Chardon, Ohio, population 5242 in 2020 census, had approximately 400 people show up in the rain. #nokings

Genie: ok what do you want for your birthday Trump: a military parade, oh, and also millions of people on the street chanting my name Genie: okie dokie

The photos coming from Trump’s birthday parade are just incredible. No one showed up.

OK. This is incredible content.

Man I’m not criticizing anyone who gets their ass up and marches around for something good, I don’t care if they’ve got a sign like “Domuld Drumpf hope u like Hamberders” they bought markers for that shit good for them

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

AG Ellison staying at the No Kings rally despite being on the assassin’s hit list to tell the crowd to not be stopped, to keep marching is exactly what I needed in this moment.

We've updated our story on the alleged Minnesota shooter to include details from anti-abortion and anti-trans sermons he gave in 2023.

Get in losers. We're building a popular front.

June 14. A few months after coming to power, the regime orders a massive military parade in the nation’s capital, on the regime leader’s birthday - symbolizing the regime’s claim that the leader embodies the nation. This should be anathema in a democratic republic. It’s insulting and dangerous.

Why, it contains no king.

I’m really glad I decided to write this one today. Already got responses from family of transgender people thanking me for helping them understand. I truly do believe people are reachable as long as they are not too far gone.

We are getting reports of clinics shutting down that provide care to trans youth over the latest CMS letter threat. If your clinic has shut down or you work at one, or your child's clinic has shut down, please send us a DM - we are putting together a big story on this.

The Senate bill aims to effectively end all civil rights lawsuits against the federal government except by entities rich enough to potentially pay million/billions in fees. I am not making this up.

What's important to me as a science reporter about this is that "Do assessments improve outcomes?" is an actual open question in the field of youth gender-affirming care where experts who know the field inside and out genuinely disagree.

The Israelis are calling this a "preemptive" strike. Whether you agree or disagree with this attack, these are not - from what we know tonight - "preemptive" strikes. The Israelis are using that word for a reason. Read on. /1

BREAKING: Judge Breyer orders Trump to return control of the National Guard back to California, saying the call-up was illegal. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“We’re slowly going underground, underground, underground,” the mother said. “You put one thing in place, and then you have to prepare for when that gets taken away."

Folks, CBO estimate of the distributional effect of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is out: www.cbo.gov/system/files... It's grotesque

HAPPENING NOW: Judge Charles Breyer (brother of retired SCOTUS justice Stephen) hears arguments on whether to grant California's emergency motion to limit Trump's deployment of the National Guard in LA. đź§µ

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla. This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

real props to Padilla for everything he did today, this is exactly the kind of confrontation we need to see more of and the optics are fucking terrible for the Trump goons hasn't always been my favorite Senator but credit where credit is due, I hope others see this as a model

Afterwards, Sen. Padilla framed what happened in exactly the right way: "If this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question...I can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, to day laborers, in Los Angeles & throughout California & the country."

In a world where enshitifcation makes all tech products and apps worse over time, the idea of "A new game machine that does everything the old one did but better, faster, and it isn't filled with AI" is a really compelling pitch. kotaku.com/switch-2-bet...

This is very dangerous way to phrase the mission when regular US military forces are part of it. "Liberate" a major US city from its duly elected state and local officials? Utterly unacceptable language

Notice she's not talking about "criminals" anymore. Now they're onto who they perceive as their enemies, including the people *we* elected. They want to use L.A. to show they can force liberal cities into submission.
