Hegseth has ordered that the USNS Harvey Milk, named for the iconic gay rights icon, be renamed. Harvey Milk served as a diving officer and later as a diving instructor for four years in the U.S. Navy. That this would happen at the start of Pride is intentional. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks Just please don’t be an asshole. I post this in honor of all of the LBGTQ+ community, and sending extra love to a family member who lost the love of his life a few months ago, as well as to my transgender granddaughter who I love with all my heart.

Good Morning, y’all! It’s Taco Tuesday! A good day to remember if you see elected Republicans in public places, make their life pure misery. They should be anxious about stepping outside their corrupt homes. After all, they are supposed to work FOR not AGAINST us. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1

Lots of people asking about my plans for the 2028 election. I have a new, radical two-step process I intend to deploy: 1. Vote for my preferred candidate in the primary 2. Vote for whichever dem wins the primary in the general

Sean Feucht’s political function is to recruit apolitical Christians into the MAGA movement where he molds them into a fighting force for anti-LGBTQ and anti-liberal hate, so it’s not that surprising that he’s remunerated himself quite handsomely for that work. open.substack.com/pub/friendly...

Wow—this is what community looks like. It’s heartwarming to see locals rally around Buona Forchetta after it was raided by ICE on Friday. In the face of fear and cruelty, San Diegans are showing up with solidarity.

This is our neighborhood and ICE is clearly not welcome. This is the scene outside Buona Forchetta last night after the ICE raid. The crowd chants SHAME after being hit with flash bangs.

Sir, this is a Wendy's. (On a serious note, the Smithsonian is a trust and is not an executive branch agency, so this is like Trump trying to fire Uncle Sam.)

“[One] of our amazing grants that have been cut … looked into how … in the inner ear …neurotransmitters … help us hear. … It’s actually possible that the reason that got flagged early on is the word ‘neurotransmitter,’ because it has the word ‘trans’ in it.” h/t @Cathy2NotToday on X.com

#ProudBlue #Resist Apparently there are so many companies, groups, who knows what else, gathering our data the government is setting up a “big box store” (my words, not the author’s) to make sorting out & then buying the data the govt wants easier. Really? FAFO! theintercept.com/2025/05/22/i...

In U.S. v. Lovett (1946), the Supreme Court held that not even Congress, in a bill signed by POTUS, may cut off all contracts with a named individual or organization: that’d be an unconstitutional bill of attainder. Only courts can decide who deserves to be punished. SoTrump can’t do it with an EO!

On one hand the economy is shrinking, prices are going up due to tariffs, scientific research funding slashed, millions to be kicked off of Medicare & Medicaid, foreign students being barred from our top universities, USA’s credit rating dropped and NWS, NASA & FEMA workers fired.
