"I don't wear 🏳️‍🌈 [queer pride] items to tell you who's in my bed. I wear them so the family across the street knows they are safe. So the couple in the restaurant know they aren't alone. So the boy who sees me notice him looking at dresses knows I won't judge. I wear because you make them hide."

7 shots fired into an SUV with a 5-year-old child in the back seat as the vehicle was moving away. Markwayne Mullin claims the driver “weaponized” his vehicle. Bullshit! “Weaponized vehicle” has become ICE’s go-to excuse for shooting folks. Where’s the evidence? It’s not in this new footage.

Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

It's strange how Democratic Socialists - who are being denounced by both parties - turned major deficits into balanced budgets in both New York and Seattle.

BREAKING: In Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson's new proposed city budget being released Tuesday, there is no projected deficit through 2030. Given the state of the projected deficit over the past many years, this is quite an achievement.

NEW: DHS's Inspector General releases a scathing report about the Everglades detention camp known as "Alligator Alcatraz." The OIG finds that the now-closed camp, violated multiple ICE standards. The OIG also confirms detainees were punished with placement in a metal cage in the Florida heat.🧵

"Protecting family values." Eat my ass. I'm so tired of that phrase "family values" as it means nothing. If people truly valued family values, they'd be feeding hungry children and promoting love and acceptance of everyone. Not this bullshit.

Uber just announced it will lay off 10% of its workforce, or around 3,300 workers. Last year, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi made $35M — 360 times his median employee's pay — and announced a $20B stock buyback program to further enrich shareholders and himself. Textbook corporate greed.

Gloria Steinem has passed away. Long ago, my parents used to force me to go to church each Sunday. One time the pastor made a comment about "people who were destroying America, like Carl Sagan and Gloria Steinem." I liked Carl Sagan. Gloria Steinem was new to me. I took it as a recommendation.

It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.

It's COMPLETE bullshit that the government can purchase private data about citizens WITHOUT a warrant! It completely violates the US Constitution and it's fully allowed somehow. Originally cell phone companies would do this with your location but apparently airlines as well!! *See comments

reuters.comLawmakers seek probe into US failure to enforce airline passenger privacy rulesTwo Democratic U.S. lawmakers on Wednesday asked a ​congressional watchdog agency to investigate the Transportation Department's failure to ensure privacy ‌of airline passengers.

"...for years the Airline Reporting Corporation ... owned by U.S. airlines, sold ⁠access to ... 722 million passenger records to feds, incl. the Homeland Security and the IRS ... in November 2025 ARC ⁠ended the effort but this year DHS issued a request ... for a replacement system." [Paraphrased]
