Nothing to see here. Just @emilyjaynef.bsky.social being forcibly removed from NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler's town hall tonight for having the temerity to act like a citizen of the United States. Hero.

JD, Is this a Poodle Cut? Oh, the poor folks who had to sit behind this during Good Friday service.
This is what happens when you don't have gay people in your life.

Andry Jose Hernandez Romero, we love you and pray for your safe return to the USA.
Cleve Jones has a great idea to have every Pride Parade appoint Andry Romero as the Grand Marshall.

Uh huh, yep, right... but those pronouns were so much more important to some folks.
How could any of us have known a recession was going to hit us by the middle of 2025?
I wonder... did anybody see this coming? 🤔

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

Do you find it strange that Trump‘s medical records, school grades, and tax returns are held under a higher level of security than our plans to attack Yemen?

IN the USA, every day since 1/20 is like an episode of a series about the Titanic.
The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Yes!
This former US Atty supports the courage of Danielle Sassoon, the acting US Atty in SDNY, who put service ahead of self & refused to let politics interfere with prosecutions. True American hero. Thank you for your service, Danielle. You are the best of us. Who's with me?
Incredibly proud of her and my old office. Integrity and decency still exist in incredibly hard circumstances. I hope every former US Attorney and DOJ official from both parties support her publicly.

Yes!

So PROUD of this Episcopal bishop, the Rt. Rev. Budde, she gives me hope and courage in these dark times, like so many in the Episcopal Church, she's not afraid to shine a light & speak truth to fraudulent power. Amen.

One of the reasons we're in this mess is that news media have consistently failed to contextualize current events for the public. Some of the newsworthiest aspects of Trump's inauguration are that he's the first person to win re-election after impeachment and the first convicted felon.
Scoop: On Sunday, CNN chief Mark Thompson convened his top anchors for a meeting about inauguration coverage in which he signaled he did not wish to see them focus on Trump's record as a convicted felon or the fact he was twice-impeached.

When Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde mentions LGBTQ children, JD Vance all but rolls his eyes and looks at his wife, who, wisely, ignores him.
This is an odd reaction from a man who struggled with wondering if he was gay a child. But Republicans aren't famous for their self-awareness or empathy.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.
