I'm currently re-watching criminal minds for probably the 5th time and I've never read anything more accurate.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Again. Do what you can from where you can.

If anyone you know is 13-24, in the US, and is LGBTQ+, please have them complete the Trevor Project survey this year.

Their last survey has been integral to protecting LGBTQ+ rights globally.

I can't understate how big an impact it has. Multiple publications come from the data.

Defying DeSantis, Florida Pride Marchers Light Up Jacksonville Bridge with Rainbow Organizers demonstrated that they didn’t need state permission for queer visibility.

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.

This is just another way trans masc ppl are erased. DIY HRT is largely a trans femme thing. Testosterone is a controlled substance. DIY is not a catch all solution for trans people.

NEW: Anti-equality lawmakers in the House cut BILLIONS of dollars from Medicaid & food assistance while stripping medically-necessary health care from trans people OF ALL AGES — all to pay for a tax cut for the wealthy.

This is a productive #discussion b/c if we don't fully agree, it's civilized & at the very least, we have a better #understanding of each other's perspective (w/in reason)

Inside Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”: Judicial Silencing (Sec. 80121(h)). This might be the most authoritarian section in the entire 1,100+ page bill.

Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” is Project 2025 in legislative form. Here’s how it quietly turns a far-right wishlist into federal law:

- Sec. 10008 - Expands work requirements for SNAP
- Project 2025: Pushes “moral reform” to make low-income people work more for food assistance.

More “woke” billboards, please…

The spine and inside page of Walt Whitman's book, Leaves of Grass.

I was finally able to add this long sought after title to my collection this weekend. It will be in good company among my other classics, and queer literature.

A black and white photo of a mug holding a tea bag. The tag says 'When fear is forcing you to give up, call upon your heart's courage to continue.'

Each day brings more and more reasons to fold. I get through by remembering those who didn't have a chance to make it this far, and I'll be damned if I let a bunch of incompetent bigots take my future from me too.

Photo taken by me.

PBS didn't "become woke". You grew up to be a bad person.

Same here and it doesn't taper off over the months as your body gets used to it??? I heard so many horror stories about becoming less emotional, but I'm now more than two years on T and certain emotions are still more heightened that they ever were before

Good morning.

You’re good.

Keep going.*

“That they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francis’s coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,” said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. “They are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.”

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach.
