BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

Spelling doesn't matter. Or does it? PS. They were good, but I think some may have been faking it.

Congress should pass the bipartisan BARK Act, my bill to save millions of pounds of perfectly good pet food from the trash and get it to the growing population of hungry shelter dogs and cats. We can do this. Let’s get it done.

Immigrants aren’t criminals. Trump is a criminal.

THANKS FOR STANDING UP. 🇺🇸

I wish the USA had respected Jimmy Carter more than they had. He was an amazing man. He was probably the most honest president we have ever had.

I love seeing the massive #NoKings turnouts in major cities, but what I love even more are the hundreds and hundreds of small, rural towns that had relatively bigger turnouts compared to their populations 💙🙏

💯

Look what I found when I searched "ICE uniform" in Google Shopping. None of us have any way of knowing if the "ICE agent" pushing you into a car, isn't just some unbalanced vigilante into cosplay. These are very dangerous times.

Just one of today’s beautiful things. Sending all love and beauty to LA tonight. We see you dancing. We hear you singing.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

This stuff doesn’t look very protect-and-serve-y

Newsom: Just moments ago, they called up an additional 2,000 National Guard troops. So now it’s 4,000 total—of which only 300 have actually been operationalized. And guess what? Yesterday, LAPD had to use their already scarce resources to protect those National Guardsmen and women…

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

With you in spirit, LA. ❤️ from Portugal.

"Veterans know the layoffs aren’t about saving money. They’re about weakening the institution and ultimately privatizing and gutting VA disability funding, as spelled out in Project 2025." share.google/pz6mLWSzZIYC...

Please and thank you.

Reminder that California subsidizes red states.

Let’s Not Lose Focus….

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

We don’t celebrate Pride for the rainbows or parades, we do it because *right now* someone out there believes they don’t deserve love, just because of who they are or who they love.   That’s why we celebrate Pride—because we want to build a world where no one feels that way.

Yep! More wanna be cos play.

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

Morning's first laugh out loud moment! 😆

Thank you Missoula! Thank you Rep. Zoey Zephyr!

🏳️‍🌈 Pride or die 🏳️‍🌈

Absolutely.

Trying to revive my 4 years of high school Spanish.

This made me laugh so hard on the train ride home that the guy sitting half way up the car from me turned around to look. He was wearing airpods!

Every year for the Rose Festival (this weekend) the businesses in Downtown Portland, Oregon create rose themed window displays and decorating. Here is my favorite.

I am vey concerned that there is a republican plan in place to manipulate midterm elections. Historically, the party in power fares worse during midterms.
