I'm so tired of disabled people being used as excuses in arguments. "Actually, if you don't let abled people do X destructive thing, then you're ableist!" But when it comes to things that would actually help disabled people -- legal protections, accommodations, etc. -- suddenly silence.

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.

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

Just to be crystal clear, activists have been spelling out action items in great detail about book bans and public library/school dismantling for over 4 years now. I think more folks are noticing and following through, which is great. But they've been painfully spelled out for y e a r s now.

Jonathan Joss' (actor from King of the Hill and Parks and Rec) husband has released a statement that amongst other things claims his murder was part of a homophobic attack. A high profile hate crime at the very start of Pride. Absolutely heart breaking.

Queerness is absolutely embedded and affirmed within the Orphic Hymns. All the Gods are simultaneously pangender, agender, and completely beyond the binary and the concept of gender. And since we are their children, humans mirror the beauty and complexity of the Gods. #WitchSky #WitchMadness

We now have the details of the federal 2026 budget proposal, and it spells the end of IMLS. The request is $6,000,000 to "conduct an orderly closeout of IMLS." Whatever happens in the 2 court cases would be moot if this passes. bookriot.com/the-2026-fed...

The current percentage of LGBTQ identification is in line with the findings of the Kinsey Report based on behavioral research in the 1940s. What’s changed isn’t that there are more homosexual or bisexual people but rather that people no longer hide it. Happy Pride 🏳️‍🌈 news.gallup.com/poll/656708/...

Not sure how typical Republican voters would understand Trump would prioritize deporting undocumented immigrants w/ deep (10+ years) roots in their communities, because even "liberal" corporate media refused to acknowledge this possibility, repeating lie about targeting illegals w/ criminal records.

One more for the "WTF" quota... This lady has been legally in the U.S. for 50 years. She was detained by ICE in February when coming home from a trip to the Philippines and only just released last week. "It was horrific; it was awful, it is crowded—super crowded." www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

This argument would work if Trump was suddenly doing something he never promised but mass deportations were the core of his campaign! Even in our desiccated media environment his voters absolutely knew immigrants were going to be ejected en masse.

Dear Members of the Press. P0TUS bragging that his tariffs are "already" bringing TRILLIONS of $$ into the US. Beyond the fact that it's not true, will you please ask him, "If that's so, then there's no need to even discuss cutting social services, medicine, education, air safety, etc etc. Right?"

Just to be clear, the immediate goal here is to juice deport numbers to satisfy Stephen Miller. The secondary goal, though, is to intimidate immigrants into missing court dates so they become de facto "criminals." And then use that status to justify harsher and harsher treatment of them.

Deporting a gay man to Russia is beyond horrific, and yet this admin is happy to do it. And the verbal abuse he describes is abhorrent; and not new. Guards at detention centers, jails, and prisons get away with crap like this all the time. It’s appalling, it’s not new under Trump, just worse now.

54% of children in America are insured by Medicaid. The ONLY party looking to kick them off is the GOP. The ONLY party trying to defund the ACA is the GOP. The ONLY party trying to get rid of vaccines and medical research that saves lives is the GOP. The cruelty is always the point.
