Blueskyers! We are less than 24 hours from the finish line of the 40th Annual NYC AIDS Walk! I’m so close to meeting my team’s fundraising goal and could really use your help! Thanks to those of you who have supported!!! @aidswalksf.bsky.social @gmhc.bsky.social

Last year, we were on track to end the AIDS pandemic by 2030. That was then! That’s why I’m leading a team in this year’s 40th annual NYC AIDS Walk on May18th! Click to join or donate: gmhc.aidswalkny.org/WalkOn2025 #NYCAIDSWalk #HIV #LGBTQ

Now the “Q+” is gone from the Stonewall National Monument too. In time, the L, G, and B will go too. IMHO this #stonewall monument is tainted and must either be restored or replaced with a fully inclusive #LGBTQ+ one. Let’s build our own monument and tell the Nat’l Parks to eff off!

The National Park Service Has Removed the Word “Transgender” From the Stonewall Monument Website
The letter “T” was also removed from instances of the acronym “LGBTQ+.”

Thank you 🙏 @sawyerhackett.bsky.social for highlighting the leadership of Senator Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social Congressman Greg Casar @repcasar.bsky.social and Congresswoman Lateefah Simon @replsimon.bsky.social — members of the Democratic bench who are speaking truth to power!
People keep asking me: where are the Democrats?

Folks trying to save USAID are trying to counterprogram Musk's $40 million Super Bowl ad. They're asking everyone to share this video as widely as you can today: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqUE...

PLS LIKE AND SHARE—The response from #friendsofusaid to Musk’s $40 million superbowl ad targeting #USAID. More ppl need to know what USAID does and that for pennies on the dollar we are saving lives and improving our security. #SuperBowl #saveforeignaid #standwithUSAID

Dear Diary, today I went to work, cleaned the house, ate lunch, and am thinking of going to the gym … BUT THERE’S A COUP GOING ON and some ABSOLUTE MAD MAN has my Social Security Number. Just another boring Tuesday in America. p.s. I think my crush likes me! K, bye!

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

Hello McFly!?! I swear, if I see one more Democrat post “but he promised cheap eggs,” I’m going to sh*t a brick. MAGA’s a wrecking ball, starting a trade war, giving Elmo access to our Treasury data, and shutting down foreign aid via USAID. Democrats need to DO SOMETHING beyond expressing concern.

Hope y’all are having a good Sunday! I don’t want to go to the gym, so I’m procrastinating by making lumberjack selfies. I need like an axe 🪓 or something though!

Trans rights 🏳️‍⚧️ are LGBTQ+ rights 🏳️‍🌈 are civil rights are human rights. Full. Stop. I’ve dedicated my career to the advancement of civil rights and worker protections. History shows this work must be continual. The march toward justice does not have a finish line.

New year, new haircut! Tight in the sides! Gay power unlocked! Honestly, I’d forgotten what I look like without constant bed head. Now this is more like it …

Joining the chorus of progress check-ins, here’s me a year and a half after my back strain. In 2024, my trainer kicked my ass to a point where I feel comfortable sharing. It’s a journey with ways to go, but it’s cool to feel a lot stronger than I did this time last year!

I think we’re in “The Bad Place.” Seriously, is this bad karma for the time I stole and hid my friend’s stupid Myers-Briggs personality test book on a field trip when I was 17? Cuz seriously, I’d do it again. He was torturing us with that thing! #thegoodplace #karma #whydihavetolivetoseethis

I’m sure I’m not alone in struggling to carry on like all’s normal when in the last 48hrs (1) Meta’s now less safe for queer ppl, (2) L.A.’s on fire, (3) we’re threatening Greenland, and more. But I’m not giving up. The point of fascism is to tire us out so we feel powerless. Fat chance! #lgbtq #gay
