Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

Stonewall wasn't the beginning, and it definitely wasn't the end in the fight for equal rights for the LGBTQ+ community. Here's to the joy and resistance that make Pride possible, and to the futures we continue to fight for, together.

Viktor Orban banned pride events in Hungary, the people took it as a challenge and just had the largest pride march in their country's history.

I’m starting to suspect that the conservative justices on the Supreme Court aren’t operating entirely in good faith

Rest In Peace Rebekah Del Rio. You were so inspiring and your voice will always be one of the greatest that ever was. Crying over you. #rebekahdelrio #mulhollanddrive #davidlynch

This came up in my reels a few days ago & I haven't been able to stop thinking about it

People have spent decades trashing class action lawyers. I know because I was one from 1997-2007, almost exclusively. I'll tell you what, though: they are now the last line of defense against tyranny. The ones I know are going to work their asses off to try to save people from what's coming.

I want to hear more things like this. Who are the lawyers who can offer tangible ways that people can fight back?

STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS

Don't forget that the Supreme Court has undertaken this radical expansion of executive power and personal immunity not for some ordinary Republican but for the most corrupt president In American history. They're doing it for THIS GUY, who is guaranteed to abuse every ounce of power he's given.

Unless something dramatic happens in the interim, a birth certificate will no longer be sufficient to prove the citizenship of any child born in much of the United States after July 27.

Saw a show at the Bowery Ballroom tonight. Guy at the bar did not say please or thank you to the bartender. He walked away with his drinks without completing the tip. I entered 45% and hit OK. Is this punk?

Okay how is THIS not the red line he's crossed? HOW? @congressmannion.bsky.social would you vote for impeachment now? We cannot let this stand. We can't. "Except for the gunners ... "

Most churches, like most schools, run on the unpaid labor of women…

It’d be great to live in a country where reporters were smart and/or honest enough to distinguish between socialism and social democracy.

It's not a duty of journalists to repeat the claims of proven liars and pretend those claims are credible. That's the job of propagandists and enablers.

another one of my "uncles" (just my parents friends, old hippies) is in hospice :( they're dropping like flies. i'm gonna write him a letter and tell him we're going to fix this world up soon so he doesn't have to worry about us. but then we have to actually do it. do it for tom

I think we can all agree that I can't do anything until my new sneakers are delivered.

More marks on paper

A deep dive on gossip. Revolutionary history. A meditation on muscle. A closer look at the color blue. And memoirs galore. There's something for everyone on this nonfiction summer reading list.

I remember Studs Terkel responding to somebody smearing him as a communist by saying : “Suppose communists come out against cancer, do we have to automatically come out for cancer?‘” He could never imagine the US coming out FOR fatal disease 30 years later.

A reminder that the @nytimes.com told New Yorkers to not rank Mamdani at all, & instead endorsed former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson. Tilson sits at a whopping .8%. Corporate media trust is dead. They killed themselves by failing to fulfill their promise of holding the powerful accountable.

EAT SHIT CUOMO YOU WRINKLY RAT BITCH LMFAOOOO

Dems think they’re rising above partisan politics by killing impeachment. Really they’re falling down on constitutional duty. Trump illegally bombs Iran without Congress, 128 Dems + leadership join the GOP. We can’t confuse complicity for pragmatism. You don’t fight authoritarianism by enabling it.

Ice cream truck funerals apparently produce the most horror movie ass sound you can hear in real life

Before this I didn't even want a funeral, but now I see it was due to my limited imagination. This changes everything.

I put together a short document for those wary of the AI mania in schools. Four of the main arguments for teachers using AI tools and introducing kids to AI as early as kindergarten are addressed--with thoughts and rebuttals and links to sources. Hope it's helpful. drive.google.com/file/d/1urCM...

Gustav Klimt

For a while now i've been making decisions aesthetically- i started thinking about the compulsion to be 'efficient', about why I wanted 'convenience' and what do you know, the man behind the curtain was capitalism I am not Apple, I am not Starbucks- I can choose a different path for myself

Trump’s War on Iran (recommended branding) is a ratings flop! Failed president, very sad.

"For those of you who stand on the sidelines, and consider yourself safe, believe us when we say that you're not. Fascism is lawless. Its agents weaponize what they consider to be the law and will only apply it to those that they target..." Fuck ya, Zack is back.

I think I'll sew some black clothes today. You know, for Summer.

It's officially summer! As the weather here in New Mexico starts to warm up, we can truly appreciate all that New Mexico has to offer. As governor, I'll fight to protect all our lands for generations to come.

He was humiliated last weekend. This weekend he bombed someone. My guess is there is a relationship between those two events.

Jesus Christ they swallowed the whole shaft and the balls
