Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

We are heartbroken over the death of Jonathan Joss, and we call for a complete investigation into the disturbing reports of his shooting. We know the heaviness and fear that comes with seeing reports of anti-LGBTQ+ violence in your social media feeds. We feel it too. We are here with you.

Lol just heard the NPR story about the DOGE guy who lost his job when he said he was surprised at how hard it was to find inefficiencies in the federal govt because he came from Silicon Valley where companies always have lots of people sitting around doing nothing

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride. So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels. They opened the drawbridge to block them. So they marched to a different bridge. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Jonathan Joss's murder & the media's erasure of the anti-queer, racist violence that preceded it reminds me of what @marisakabas.bsky.social wrote about Nex Benedict's death & the media's erasure of the anti-queer violence that caused it. www.thehandbasket.co/p/nex-benedi...

DOGE is now reviewing every NIH grant that goes out, I reported last week. That review is AI-driven and is screening for DEI, trans health, China, vaccine hesitancy, and the institutions to whom Trump has blocked funding, @hannahnatanson.bsky.social reports. Gift link: wapo.st/3HhnPSt

As of today, Elon Musk is thought to be responsible for the death of 300,000 adults and kids due to the illegal closure of USAID (source: www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...) That's a 103 deaths per hour, each day. And it will get worse. His legacy is one of death, destruction, and failure.

Aside from the fact that anyone can get seriously ill from COVID, a key point they are deliberately hiding when removing access is that COVID vaccines reduce transmission. People choose to get vaccinated to protect other people. It is wrong and harmful to take that choice away.

There are no “moderate” voters. There are Trump voters who make excuses for their vote by saying that Democrats are too far left. The most unfortunate byproduct of this phenomenon lies in the Democratic strategists and pollsters and candidates chasing nonexistent “moderate” voters.

For those of you who knew Victoria Brownworth on Twitter, she passed away from cancer yesterday. She was a fearless journalist who reported on AIDS in the 80s (when Reagan was ignoring it), lifted up the LGBTQ community, & rooted out corruption. Her wife, Maddy Gold, died of cancer in 2022.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is unnecessary or a luxury, survive a month without it.

I'm genuinely sorry that Fetterman had a stroke and suffers from depression. But arguing that he has a free pass not to do his job in the name of destigmatizing brain injury and mental health struggles is offensive. If he can't do it, he should resign. If he doesn't want to, he should resign faster.

Every time someone quotes one of my posts and states that Missourians deserve to go hungry because the state went for Trump, remember that over 40% of the state voted for Harris. And, children don’t vote. Children are the ones who will go hungry...

Ashli Babbitt’s rehabilitation is so nuts. She was literally breaking and entering into a place she knew to be protected by armed guards. She was shot while being the first to climb through the broken window. Who DOESN’T expect to be shot when storming the breach? She was literally the forlorn hope!

Democrats are terrified of primaries. And that's a mistake. Vibrant primaries produce better candidates, stronger campaigns, new technology, and a lot of highly engaged activists. It's good for the party overall—both in 2026 and in 2028.

I've seen some liberals earnestly argue that rhetorical concessions on youth healthcare or youth sports would get Republicans to back off on other trans civil rights issues. This is a complete misreading of Republicans. They want trans people to suffer and force them out of public life.
