Jonathan Joss, best known for voicing John Redcorn on "King of the Hill" was MURDERED today as a result of a homophobic hate crime in San Antonio. He and his husband tried to tell law enforcement for YEARS about the hate. They also killed their dog and burned their home down.

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

Fearing reprisals from the smallminded bigot Donald Trump, corporations are withholding hundreds of thousands of dollars from Pride events this summer. This proves that their "support" was never genuine. Pride was just seen as another opportunity to advertise. www.edgemedianetwork.com/story/339627

NEW: A 2023 investigation by @wpln.bsky.social and ProPublica found that Richard L. Bean was illegally locking kids up alone in cells. A new scandal has forced his resignation. By @paigepfleger.bsky.social

The heartbreaking statement from Jonathan Joss’s husband about his death.

It’s wild seeing all the doctors in the news weighing in & saying this new variant is nothing to worry about when the literal research says again & again that COVID is still a biosafety level 3 pathogen that damages internal systems & can leave people dead or profoundly disabled #MECFS #LongCovid

We interviewed a wife who received unique @3wishesprogram.bsky.social keepsakes, including a fingerprint keychain & teddy bear with a recording of her deceased husband's heart rhythm. She knows that @3wishesprogram.bsky.social not available everywhere & says "I feel like I've won the lottery". (1/2)

The grasshopper gets it — divide and conquer. Today’s robber barons use the same playbook. But together, we have all the power. Watch.

I'm so over this lying, puritanical pixie.

Why aren’t Dems on everything talking about the Joni Ernst “you can die” bill?

Imagine what this woman and her family went through. All for what?

Found this on my phone looking for something else and I am dead

The Republican tax bill won’t just kick millions off their health care, it will SPIKE premiums and RAISE costs for EVERYONE. The cuts to Medicaid, attacks on the ACA, and surge in uninsured Americans will even force hospitals to close their doors. Congress needs to REJECT these cuts.

54% of children in America are insured by Medicaid. The ONLY party looking to kick them off is the GOP. The ONLY party trying to defund the ACA is the GOP. The ONLY party trying to get rid of vaccines and medical research that saves lives is the GOP. The cruelty is always the point.

Nearly half of the Medicaid cuts in the house bill will come from provisions that affect ONLY states that have expanded Medicaid under the ACA. This isn’t about kicking undocumented immigrants off Medicaid or curbing waste and fraud. It’s a direct assault on the ACA.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

This is Bodie. He’s here to celebrate the start of Pride Month. Been working on this pose for weeks. 14/10 the parade starts right behind him 🌈🐾 (IG: hellobodie)

We still can’t get straight answers on why ICE agents are masked and refusing to ID themselves. On top of all that they appear to be lying about cause. Congress, do you see what’s happening? Don’t be silent! Call your Senators & Reps. Demand an investigation. ☎️ Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

The man on the left is defending his nation's capital. The man on the right plotted an attack on his.

Margaret Brennan totally exposes FDA Commissioner Makary for making it up as he goes and making conflicting recommendations in order to cast doubt on covid vaccines. He's so terrible during this interview that Brennan is left shaking her head as she wraps it up.

NEW: The mother of an Arizona man who died after being unable to find mental health treatment is suing his health insurer, saying it broke the law by publishing false information that misled its customers. By @maxblau.bsky.social
