Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect. As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

Remember it's that time of year to help your local families start purchasing school supplies and clothing. If you can, donate locally and nationwide. #Maine let's help some local families! Every little bit helps.

Brett: Can I make a new rule here? If somebody asks for a Nobel Peace Prize — instant disqualification...and then if someone like Netanyahu nominates you— Ben: Immediately rejected. Him nominating Nobel Peace Prizes is like Lawrence Taylor running a children's sports league

@smithsonianmag.bsky.social if I could get every red hot cent I've ever donated or spent in your "white washed" museum, I WOULD! You think removing Drumpf's impeachments from his treason display, is history? F*CK right off! I will never give you or any museum another penny. We see you, Traitors!

Q: There are reports where a fire dept commander asked a Kerr County sheriff dispatcher for a code red to be issued but they said they couldn't without a supervisor approving it. Almost 6 hours passes. How do you account for that lapse of time? KERR COUNTY SHERIFF: There's gonna be an after action

Mike Johnson: "The reconciliation bill was a big, giant leap forward, but we're gonna do this again. We're gonna have a second reconciliation package in the fall, and a third in the spring of next year."

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

Angus: We have American officials claiming that Canada is some kind of terrorist haven. They’re saying we’re sending massive gangs of El Salvadorans over the border. I’m sorry—have you ever visited Canada? Could you show us where these El Salvadoran gangs supposedly are?

The U.S. spends over $3 billion annually on the world’s largest immigration detention system, which is primarily operated by for-profit prison contractors like GEO Group. These facilities are notorious for poor medical treatment, overcrowding, due process violations, and preventable deaths.

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

#NOKINGS DAY protestors. Just a heads up, let's stay calm, peaceful and safe. Be aware of your surroundings and prepared for stupidity by the Proud Boys and others. Just #sitdown if anything happens.

Here's an idea for the freedom fighters and rebels out there that may not be able to attend the protests

if you've been watching the community defenses against ICE and thinking, "i support my comrades but i don't feel comfortable being on the ~front lines~" please know there are many other ways to support! you can drop off a case of water and snacks, buy medical supplies, donate to jail support, etc
