UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Disgusted to hear just now that Israel launched a massive air and ground campaign to occupy Gaza City, following illegal strikes on Syria and Qatar.

This kills civilians. This kills hostages. All paid for by your tax dollars.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual

PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

A bit of excitement on my drive this morning. A hot air balloon came low over the road. Aiming for the race course to make an emergency landing. Not the best of photos. Imagining all the passengers tumbling over each other in the basket

Love the phrase "winking vulgarity"
Great opinion piece, well stated
"The uniformed soldiers marched irregularly, slightly off beat; the turnout was small and the crowd seemed defeated, low-energy, a bit wilted and unenthused after spending hours in DC’s brutal summer humidity. It rained," writes Guardian US columnist Moira Donegan.
