It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Apparently it’s 5 o clock somewhere also applies to ketamine?

For decades, there has been talk (started with Kinsey I believe) about LGBTQ+ people being about 10% of the population. That number has been debated and shorted but this data shows it was probably pretty accurate.

And actually post from the official White House account. Absolutely bone chilling.

And there we go.

Also this is not the time for Howie the Crab to die. I’m holding on by a thread, people.

Not the administration playing Wizard of Oz about Doge.

Vegas is very gay, but it could always be gayer. Seriously I had a wonderful time there a few weeks ago and give some of my recs.

What did I just listen to?

I’m hearing reports of missed disability payments that we’re supposed to be paid out on the 15th. Anyone else seeing folks talk about this?

The upside down plane is a powerful image and should be used everywhere and by all Dems who are actually trying to do something about all of this chaos.

If you can or when you have a break, check out TT live. It’s full of protests. Lots of folks showing up and speaking out.

Anyone else manage social media channels on Meta and see a huge increase in far-right Spam account suggestions?

This feels so relevant right now.

Listeria is going to have a bang up few years

I beseech you. Follow queer media, Black media, Latine media, AAPI media, Indigenous media. Follow local media, independent media. Nonprofit media. We’re on the ground covering things. Share their posts. Follow the 19th.

Seriously the most short sighted and dangerous of decisions in weeks of short sighted and dangerous decisions.

Our Trans Family and History WILL NOT BE ERASED 🏳️‍⚧️ Rally at the Stonewall National Monument in New York City in response to the current administration’s efforts to erase transgender people.

So Vance’s first time on the international stage went well

So between federal firings and layoffs, plus all the state and nonprofit employees let go due to loss of funding, what’s the unemployment total we’re looking at here? This has to be one of the largest mass unemployments in US history.

Who is at the Stonewall Protest today?

NEW — In an alarming email last night reviewed by me, Coast Guard members learned that 1,135 members' direct deposit account routing information was compromised due to a data breach from unauthorized access. It was only discovered because an officer “reported anomalous activity” on their account.

This is inexcusable. Trans and queer people WERE Stonewall. They put their bodies and freedom on the line for all of us. newsisout.com/2025/02/nati...

Great piece by @davidopie.bsky.social on fans working to save shows.

Billboard campaign. Swing states. Medicaid, social security, health - show what tptb are actually doing in easy, simple language.

Very proud to announce the Department of Health will now process all requests to change gender designation on birth certificates within three business days. Previously, there was as much as a 10 month wait.

It’s going to be 4 years of Red, White and Blaine quality performances.

What are flu symptoms this year? Fatigue, stuffy nose, headache?

Hearing that billions of dollars of food aid for those who need it most is just rotting in shipping containers is an apt analogy for this country right now.

How much has DOGE contributed to the unemployment rate?

I’ve been on a GLP-1 since August but have only shared that with a small group of people. I was worried my choice would be a betrayal to my decades long commitment to body positivity. But speaking to these queer women on the same journey made me feel ready to share my story.
