We’ve reached the “I keep reading the word ‘unclear’ as ‘nuclear’” phase of another news cycle

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds. While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

“ICE agents have to wear masks and no uniform because they have become so deeply unpopular that it’s safer to appear to be a vigilante kidnapper” is a hell of an argument

desire might be the root of all suffering but it's also the root of buying cool stuff so it's not all bad

Here are my top 10 protest dogs! youtu.be/lgOtg-BeV6E

Perfect, 10/10, no notes. (Via ElElegante 101 on TikTok)

Climate change core

What a wild day. It summed up everything. www.azcentral.com/story/entert...

Clearly, the eyebrows didn’t fall far from the tree on this one. #HappyFathersDay to all the dads, stepdads, grandpas, uncles, brothers, mentors, moms, and more who never let us fall. Love you John!

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

Philadelphia: Opposing kings since 1776. #NoKings

I don’t sell airplane parts. I’ve never sold airplane parts.

No man, this is what happened stop lying

Sorry I know I always say not to quote dunk and really do not click on the article but lol at these major papers saying “we really could not give a fuck about our legacy or reputation, here are some regurgitated talking points from our govt”

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

Thank you to everyone who joined the #NoKings actions across the country today. Together, we stood for our communities and our democracy, in peaceful, powerful protest. Check out this video from the Philadelphia rally, & tag us in your photos & videos so we can lift them up. 🇺🇸

This was the Battlefield: Earth of military parades.

This is a reference to the iconic, Pulitzer-winning image of a Vietnam War protester. He later moved to SF, renamed himself Hibiscus and formed a drag troupe called the Cockettes. Happy Pride!

It's rallyin' time ✊ #NoKings @ctulocal1.bsky.social @iftaft.bsky.social

From the DMV to Miami, people are standing up to tell the world: We don't elect kings in the US. #NoKings

What’s it like at the #NoKingsDay rally in Houston? People petting horses. Flowers on police vehicles. Families everywhere.

If 102-year-old Kurt Goldschmidt, a survivor of the Holocaust, says "no kings" you'd best get up and stand up for your rights before it's too late. Mr. Goldschmidt knows all too well what he's seeing in Trump's America. It was an honor to stand with him today. #NoKingsInAmerica

Never.

[alanis morissette voice] it's like raaa-ee-aaaaaain / on your military parade

Chat, is it good when your military in a liberal democracy is talking about Tiananmen Square

I’m at the civil war. I’m at the world war. I’m at the combination civil world war.

my grandpa was illiterate so i have no idea if this ouija board is working or not

More than 100 journalists have signed an Amnesty International open letter calling on Keir Starmer to demand international reporters can access Gaza and provide support to Palestinian journalists www.amnesty.org.uk/journalist-o...

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

I told you we’d be back

June 12th is Pulse Remembrance Day. Today we remember the victims of the Pulse Nightclub shooting in 2016.

Sly Stone and Brian Wilson in three days?! Come on, God

World Pride in DC came at a time of growing attacks against LGBTQIA+ people, and the latest Union Talk episode focuses on why it's important to speak out, stay engaged, and advance basic humanity for all across generations. Listen! aft.org/uniontalk

That’s a very early call from the AP, but I see what they’re saying: the margins in the early vote are insurmountable.

My strong instinct is that Trump's threats against Americans' first amendment right to peaceably assemble is going to massively juice attendance at Saturday's protests. www.nokings.org

Really glad to see him get promoted. He worked his tail off for the opportunity. @nationals.com

real bummer finding out that literally everything was on the honor system this whole time

Me and the gf watchin MSNBC tonight after eating a big salad

On Friday, ICE agents launched aggressive raids in LA. While he was peacefully protesting for immigrant rights, @seiu.org USWW President David Huerta was assaulted, hurt & detained. He's out of the hospital but remains in custody. #FreeDavidEndRaids bit.ly/FreeDavidEndRaids

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

can’t wait for disney pixar’s 1984

I can't believe any Democrat would THINK of allying with Elon Musk. I won't take money from the guy who does a Hitler salute. It's really that simple.

This has the potential to be the funniest day since he got Covid

In retrospect maybe the Democrats should have put this in some ads after gawker published it in 2015
