Until the next one. 💚🧸

See you in a bit, at Blackbird in the Castro. A throwback day party for the gays, the daddies, the queens, and other legends over 40.

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

And now I can’t unsee it either 😂😂😂

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

“Do good: we will meet one another there.” - Papa Frankie (Pope Francis I), May 2013

another Nazi salute at CPAC

Seems to me that this is exactly correct – and exactly consistent with MLK’s 1967 comments re “unregenerate segregationists who have declared that democracy is not worth having if it involves equality.”

I don’t understand how there’s any debate about whether to characterize them as Nazis when they’re out here sieg heiling. It’s an absolute failure of messaging not to name and condemn this behavior, and build a narrative around it.

Saturday. 🧸💚

The fact we have become this stupid and cruel and awful of a country in real time Would be a god damn satire worthy of VOLTAIRE If it wasn’t completely in earnest and absolutely triggering

He did some shit and his ex is trying to make sure no other woman gets stuck with him, right? She has the fake account up, right? RIGHT??? Tell me it isn’t real.

Pay your performers. But if all you do is plug in any person regardless of their energy, performance type, skill set, strengths, communication of culture and artistic output… If they aren’t all aligned to some statement of culture & art, with knowledge & understanding of it, is it curation?

I’ma need “curation” to be used with more care in these gay nightlife streets. Using the same dancers, performers, and dj’s for any party from pop to house to hip hop to rnb to… To whatever theme in any day or night function… Is it “curation” if your event is lacking a cultural perspective?

THIS. Remember when the k-pop stans snatched all the tickets up to 🤡🍊 rally and had him looking dumb? We need them to focus and gear up.

Gen Z has filmed and posted their disrespect of social norms, messing with retail and food workers, pranks and violations of personal space, plagiarism and theft of content, etc They are primed for disobedience and openly fucking with authority. If they go even more politically active in this era…

The way some folk won’t go to a Bay Area event unless you are simplistic with labels of identity (“a party for [sexual orientation] [race] [ethnicity] [gender]”) is wild. Why’s that wild? It means people don’t know or practice culture or affinity — just tropes approaching biological determinism.

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Good convo from this thread. To add: • steroids were easier to get pre 1990 ASCA • action stars shredded since the 80s • W Bush warned of steroids in 2004 SOTU • action movies now have a larger share of the box office • wellness/fitness trends with Baby Boomers — it’s bigger industry now 1/2

They got tamales lady at BART??? On a Friday too, that is genius strategy

A federal judge has temporarily blocked Trump’s anti-DEI orders, ruling the government cannot freeze or cancel “equity-related” contracts or require grant recipients to certify that their programs do not promote DEI.

Gang, if judges going off on topics not technically related to the matter at hand from the bench is judicial misconduct, I've got bad news for everyone.

My partner is my favorite bully. I love that guy 🤣 💚🌙

It's the weekend, baby

So wild how “gotta hear both sides” is somehow a sign of reasoned, rational, intelligent. And anyone stating values and right vs wrong is somehow, on the center and the left, small minded and stupid. What’s that Matthew Desmond line about “complexity is a refuge of the powerful.” Zero heart.

What if one of the forked workers said “yeh just let me grab my favorite coffee mug” and then lunged for the keyboard to delete the database. Just no data on anything. Was that one of the Die Hards?

🤣🤣🤣 These fuckers can’t write for shit. You’ve got limited space to write and you waste it on technical terms (“introduced budget amendments” means what?!), hyper specificity (repeating Michigan twice in one sentence?!), and having multiple runts wasting 3 lines in total?! Holy fuck.

"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

Thread. The entire thread. (And when you get to the end, you might see an overlap like I did, where the healers, mental health, and relationship experts talk about secrets kept from a partner is about having power in romance…)

You ever wonder if your pics are being used in some other country and you’ll never find out what other online life your visage is living?

Federal workers launch a new site to share inside information about DOGE

So if the boycott for doing Pride is smaller than the boycott for ending DEI, how is Target supposed to decide who to listen to, especially when corporations already have first amendment rights to say what they want? Can you compel a company to political values? Can you do the same for people?

Republican rep getting shouted down by his own constituents at a townhall in a deep red R+30 district is something.

Whitman Walker states in this article that they are not stopping gender affirming care services. They’re just removing them from the website. 1) let’s be careful to be precise about the facts that we are discussing here

They don’t want respect. They don’t want kindness. They don’t want science, faith, or good government. They want cultural dominance through punishment, vengeance, and violence. They would sacrifice their humanity if it meant eliminating trans people, people of color, disabled people, queer people, …

Gays who revel in straight people telling them “you’re not like those other gays” are the Th*mas Ch*tterton Willi*mses of the LGBTQ community. Internalized bigotry is measured in part by where you offer sympathy and where you offer skepticism. By that yardstick, TCW can’t stand his own people.
