HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

Harvey Milk was forced to resign from the Navy because he was gay. Naming a ship after him sentthe message that this was wrong. Changing the name, during Pride no less, sends the opposite message. They already banned the T. I wouldn't be shocked if the L, G, and B aren't far behind.

WTF, MNPD? A man was caught on camera assaulting a trans woman in Nashville and punching her hard in the face. The woman has required medical care for the injuries she sustained. But the police have not arrested the assailant. Why not? www.wsmv.com/2025/06/02/n...

5 years ago: “An incalculable loss” Today: Banning masks and restricting vaccine access

Looking at hurricane season, FEMA, and the Senate map for 2026. There are an awful lot of Gulf and Atlantic Coast states where Democrats should be working hard for the next 12 months on good messaging about what the GOP is doing to disaster relief and preparedness.

Chanting "shame" at them while doing this is perfect.

Tesla Takedown in Boston.

Just want to emphasize that AB, her family, and the activists supporting her have all been openly celebrating this *as a win.* We should follow their lead and celebrate this, and ignore right wing attempts to demean her victory or delegitimize it, while continuing to oppose harmful CIF rules.

Protected bike lanes have a near-magical ability to produce cyclists. This new study of 28 US cities finds that census block groups w/protected bike lanes expanded bike commuting almost 2x faster than those w/standard bike lanes & >4x faster than those w/o new lanes. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

A special court in #Bangladesh has issued a new arrest warrant for former PM Sheikh Hasina, charging her and several of her close associates with crimes for inciting, coordinating, and directing the killings of around 1,400 peaceful protesters last summer. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/02/w...

These families are emptying their life savings and leaving the only home they've ever known just ensure their trans kid can get the care they need. Now ask yourself--would you even think about doing this for health care that was anything less than essential for your child's life?

Grammar tip: There's no comma after you say an act of violence is wrong. It takes a period. The next word is not "but." You've made a statement. It can have a whole sentence all to itself. Then say the rest of what you want to say.
