None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

I will always associate America to these men who came here on 6 June 1944, landing on Normandy beaches. They came to liberate us from Nazism. None of them wore a suit. Many of them paid the highest price for our freedom. I hope I can say again, one day: “I know. This is who you are, America.”

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

In my years of reporting on LGBTQ news this was by far the hardest. But we are still here. You made it to Friday. You lived. Good job. That wasn’t easy. Through a diversity of tactics, we will continue to live. Rest up, drink water, find community, so that we can all be here tomorrow too.

So the FBI is planning on getting rid of hundreds of agents who worked on the orange conman's investigations. Can you say 1939 Germany a little louder?

Important economics reminder for all: these tariffs are a tax on US companies paid to the US gov’t. Companies have bottom lines. They’re not going to lose that much margin, especially with shareholders, employees, etc. So that tariff cost is passed onto us: the consumer. Things get more expensive.

If you're with ICE or any other authority targeting innocent migrants, don't expect cooperation from me. Your failure is a blessing for humanity. I hope your job is soul-draining. I am actively rooting for your anxiety and frustration. I would rather gargle broken glass than make your life easier.

I’ve visited Auschwitz twice. Truly harrowing. My main feeling was disbelief. Not so much disbelief that I didn’t believe it, but that I could never understand why/how humans can do that to each other. There was probably disbelief at the time. As there is now. Benefit of the doubt can be misplaced.

So to be clear, Elon has given a Nazi salute, then said Germans shouldn’t feel guilt for their Nazi grandparents actions, said no race mixing for Italy, and that we have to “save” Japanese culture. This motherfucker trying to speed run reforming the Axis.

A helpful thing to remember, or at least it has been for me: in hard times, there will be discrete moments—maybe lots of them—where you experience love and joy and community. It is no sin to enjoy them, and arguably more of one to refuse them.

Hug your kids. Kiss your partner. Read a good book. Paint a miniature. Go for a walk. Give the dog a bath (you know you need to, the dog stinks) There's loads of time for anxiety and stress. It's only been 6 hours.
