Today Congress is holding yet another hearing to persecute the @splcenter.org. Meanwhile, this admin has pardoned the Proud Boys and gutted voting rights. Ask yourself: Who is really manufacturing hate here?

Pride started as a protest. We took to the streets and told the world we weren't going to take it anymore. And it grew — because visibility matters, self-expression matters, and being exactly who you are is its own kind of power. Living our lives to the fullest became the best protest. /1

I learned something new today: Decoration Day.

Reminder that formerly enslaved Black people started Memorial Day. It was initially called Decoration Day as they decorated the graves of Union troops. “As He died to make men holy let us die to make men free”

I am a gay dad and this is FUCKED UP

In the last few weeks, Trump has done more for the worldwide adoption of electric vehicles than any previous US president. Congratulations.

The people of Iran aren’t free. Iran can now charge tolls. The nuclear material sits EXACTLY where it did, in the same amount, since June. The regime is still in place with a younger ayatollah. Iran still was launching missiles, now with more money to rebuild. Period

Cue the thinkpieces “the shutdown broke TSA, privitization the answer”. How very Reagan this all is - tell ppl to not trust goverment, than kill programs so they can’t trust government, and hand it off to corporations: www.theverge.com/transportati...

The TSA is broken — is privatization next?

Trump allies sense an opportunity to privatize the TSA.

In Sonoma, CA where I went to the protest, I quickly noticed the absence of any people of color. Especially notable since we have such a large population of Mexican heritage. And I thought the same thing: they would be at too much risk, so we have to represent. Good on her!

Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video. “It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, and it’s mostly people who look like you and me, and I just…?” This lady’s response is🔥

Hot take: it won’t be long before republicans switch their position and deem electric cars to be “patriotic” to support the war efforts www.cnbc.com/amp/2026/03/...

It feels like its time for every student to watch War Games. It's a fun movie, but also way ahead of its time imagining AI and it's role in war.

Well this explains a lot. A man who doesn’t believe in introspection and also thinks he’s always right. Winning combo.

Where to begin with this

The *audacity* it takes the big model trainers to complain that somebody else scraped their work and is capturing value from it without permission. The sheer chutzpah. The staggering lack of self-awareness. It's gobsmacking.

Really quite a statement to be against: "together we are all america" & "love is more powerful than hate"

I’m hearing the same from my MPLS friends, they worry the media has moved on, but things are just as bad

Repeat after me "prediction markets" are betting. Not a financial market, not a crystal ball, not something to analyze. All it tells us is random folks hoping to make a buck are betting on random concepts. Betting. Does CNN have a new roulette channel now too? www.theblock.co/post/381164/...

Pam Bondi now that the Epstein Files are required to be released.

someone went up to sarah mcbride in front of the u.s. congress, hurled her deadname at her loudly and called her a pedophile repeatedly, posted video of the exchange to x, and it is now going wildly viral i will not share the video but if you’re not speaking up about this, you’re hurting yourself

Hear me out, what if AI is a good thing for political discourse. Anytime your crazy uncle starts ranting, have him “talk to grok about that”. Get it out of his system and he comes back and talks about family stuff.

Sally and David always agreed that the first rule of parenting is unconditional love. So when their then-21-year-old daughter told them she was trans, there was no question they would figure out how to support her. But that didn’t make it easy. www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/11/a-pe...
