How was Joe Biden forced out of a presidential race for a disastrous debate and for looking frail and for confusing names, but this man, one of the most ignorant men to ever be elected to any office, allowed to continue on as president and treated as a normal, serious leader??

Hungary banned pride and anything having to do with homosexuality. In response the country responded with the biggest pride protest in modern history. Orban is cooked. #3E

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

Holy shit. India’s Foreign Secretary just shut down Trump’s claim he brokered peace between India and Pakistan. Modi told him: “There was never any discussion… about a trade deal or U.S. mediation… India has neither accepted mediation, nor does it do so—and never will.”

Humiliated by China, Harvard, Elon Musk, and the federal courts, Trump has launched a war inside America on vulnerable people inside America.

Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward.

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous.

The protesters are being called unspeakably violent by the Trump administration. I mostly saw clergy sit-ins and Tejano bands.

C+ Santa Monica fascist Stephen Miller wants us to believe that peaceful protest, guaranteed by our constitution, is an insurrection.

C+ Santa Monica fascist Stephen Miller can get fucked.

Never forget, and never forgive the people who voted for this horror.
Pretty clearly setting the stage to use the Insurrection Act to crack down on domestic protests within the US.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

I would rather be in London and not in the USA. The weather is going to be stupid hot the next few days, which will make me miserable. I have to get needles poked into and around my face today. Work is stressing me out. And I slept like shit last night. It's a 4 cups of coffee day.

Ok. LONDON!! I’ve been home for a bit over a week, now. Time to recover. Time to reflect. My 45th was the best birthday I’ve ever had. This was one of my favorite trips I’ve been on. London was exactly what I had imagined it would be. Yet the trip was so much more. I need to narrow down pictures!!!
