Illinois has enshrined protections to meet this very moment. In a time of increasing overreach and hateful rhetoric, it's more important than ever to reaffirm our commitment to the rights and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community. You have a home here always.

Wow. Lenacapavir, a twice-yearly shot that prevents HIV spread was just approved by the FDA. The problem? Due to government cuts to Medicaid, PEPFAR, and Global Fund, it's unlikely this game-changing drug will reach the many people who need it most in the US and globally.

The decision in Skrmetti lets politicians create their own evidence to justify banning necessary healthcare. It's bad, writes @evanurquhart.bsky.social. Not just for trans people, but for anyone whose healthcare is or could potentially be politically contested. Read more here:

SCOOP: Planned Parenthood informed its affiliates Tuesday that they can apply for waivers to stop providing abortions. It's an attempt to keep Medicaid funding if the GOP budget reconciliation bill passes.

Let them eat cake.

There’s a intersex progress pride flag in the window of the shitty garbage wizard store on Michigan Avenue.

Among the flowers & other offerings at the memorial for Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark on the Minnesota Capitol Steps was this brochure about Amtrak's recently added Borealis service between St. Paul & Chicago, with a handwritten note

As always with Republicans, untaxed inheritance for me, a lifetime of hard work & no benefits for thee

Sam has distinct clear framed glasses. Saw some on a masked agent at court last week. Can't say for sure it was him, but thanks to the NY Post for this crystal clear photo of him regardless. 👍

The regime has posted signs at Manzanar, the WWII concentration camp for Japanese Americans, asking visitors to report "negative" historical interpretations. Hard to imagine a positive interpretation but it's probably just an excuse to shut down the park. www.sfgate.com/california-p...

Boycott Jersey Jack Pinball tbh

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

no shit? voters want democrats who are willing to actually fight for them? and don’t just openly hate them? and do more than go on the news to say they’re considering writing a letter? big news here

This is one of the things I used to talk about a lot. One of the characteristics of Whiteness is that it cannot be interrogated. It cannot be assigned traits. Whiteness and its works are treated as "default". Never part of a trend that can be identified. Especially if that trend is negative.

My dad asked ME what Beatles album to buy in 1990. I told him Abbey Road.

I know a lot of folks like this account. But this is a wild, and unhelpful, exaggeration--it's a resistance version of sean spicer. It veers into #resistanceporn and trades accuracy for clout, like other "blue maga" grifters on here. Pls consider finding other sources of inspiration/news/motivation

A sign sighted at a Rhode Island #nokings rally. I definitely can get behind this.

I legit thought this was real.

Trump was all c'monnn I'm just a little guy, and it's my birthday too, I'm a little birthday boy

Whether it's Democrats putting flyers on Chris Cillizza’s Tesla or Republicans assassinating Democratic lawmakers, it's time for both sides to turn down the temperature.

NO KINGS INCLUDES KINGS OF LEON!!!!!

The Illinois secretary of state asked for an investigation into a suburban Chicago police department after learning that it violated state law by sharing data from automatic license-plate readers with a Texas sheriff seeking a woman who had an abortion. news.wttw.com/2025/0...

I was thankfully too old for her shitty wizard books when they came out but I absolutely had a Boy Snoopy back in the day. (Yes, they legit sold a plush Snoopy in Boy George drag.)

Have you realized that politically our leaders are Charlie Hides in a lip sync for your life and we're all @sheacoulee.com screaming "Do something"? Like that's where we currently exist at.

Hope everyone participating in the “military parade” has this vet on their mind.

I don’t speak for NLG but Legal Observers ask for names to determine who the cops took, get lawyers to visit them in custody, update their friends and family on charges and when they’ll be released, and then try to find an aligned pro bono attorney if the person is criminally charged

I talk to the moon soldier every day, nice dude but says he’s kinda bored up there

My body tends to run small but my ear canals are so big that the large EarPod option is not large enough. Large memory foam is not large enough.

Had to make sure I hadn’t unblocked “Cursed AI” That image is horrible. You can’t not show their feet.

My favorite Brian Wilson fact: He does not appear on the English language Kokomo; he is on the Spanish version.

Spoiler alert: It’s not me. 😭

Every mural artist on the southside frantically checks their phone.

He did the thing.
