Washington, D.C. is not just the government. There are over 700,000 people just like you who call it home. All people have the right to live in safe, peaceful neighborhoods.

But Donald Trump doesn’t care about other people, and he doesn't care about keeping other people safe.

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.

This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

EDITOR'S NOTE: We have updated our story on Anne Frank to say that she actually died of typhus, and not from the Nazis putting her in a concentration camp. We regret the error and will find the filthy rat who dared to suggest the Nazis had anything to do with her death.

The administration is threatening to strip the citizenship of a man voters chose to serve as the Democratic Party’s nominee for Mayor of New York City because they don’t like his political views.

Just straight up fascist shit, no chaser.

I can tell you right now: politicians on both sides of the aisle will see this election as a reason to never implement ranked-choice voting.
And for those saying his campaign should be replicated across the country: yes, that would be great!

But…

Without rank choice voting, how?

And with the chokehold AIPAC/Israel has on this country’s politics, how?

Today is the 10th anniversary of Obergefell and the constitutionalization of same-sex marriage into the American legal canon. Victories are to be savored- to be sure- but not taken for granted. The law is not necessarily a one-way ratchet. It takes work to secure wins and just as much to keep them.

As someone who read (iirc) the Kushiel trilogy in high school… no, absolutely not
A post just reminded me of this, and I am begging from the BOTTOM OF MY SOUL:

Folks have got to STOP reccing Kushiel to romantasy fans without serious content warnings. And also STOP reccing McCaffrey to Fourth Wing fans without *a whole lot of context* about consent & misogyny in SFF in the 70s.

Lot of people seem to think this is a paraphrase. No, he actually said that
Vice President JD Vance: "I empathize with Americans who are exhausted after 25 years of foreign entanglements in the Middle East. I understand the concern, but the difference is that back then we had dumb presidents"

Conservatives think we can't be trusted to choose our own paths and create our own lives.

The more we do it anyway, joyfully and unashamed, the more they're proven wrong.
I'm thinking this Pride about how I've been able to make a whole bundle of pretty unusual life choices with basically no pushback because of people before me who were willing to be the weirdo.
