1. Missoula, Montana has cleverly voted to defy the Pride flag ban by making the it "an official city flag." This comes after a law banned the flying of the flag but made an exception for "official flags." Now, the Pride flag will fly defiantly in the state. Subscribe to support our journalism.

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.

The Trump folks obviously knew and this is, in fact, important for the public to know, given Musk’s deleterious impact on so many. Kudos to @kirstengrind.bsky.social and Megan Twomey for having the guts to report out yet another condition that is in plain sight. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

I have a huge request for my readers: Trump's tax and spending bill will be moving through the Senate. Senators can invoke the Byrd Rule to try to remove the anti-trans Medicaid ban and EHB changes. You can find and call your senator here and ask them to do that. Please share as well.

Charlotte Fosgate, a 17-year old trans girl completed suicide earlier this month. Over the weekend, Twitter users found her final post and began mocking her and making memes about her dying. The level of duhumanization of trans people is so thorough, they're celebrating a teenager killing herself.

The first question we need to ask is why Trump wants to keep Abrego García in El Salvador. A normal administration would want to retrieve someone wrongly sent to a foreign gulag. I believe part of the reason I that Trump wants a fight with the courts in which he can defy their orders.
