100%. Don’t let TERFs colonize the narrative here. Most studies show that lesbians are far more likely to be trans accepting than almost any other group. It’s just, as queer ppl, we’re more likely to be in proximity to a lesbian transphobe than a straight one.

AOC: This is what I want people to understand: this is our money. When you pay your taxes, that money is being stolen to pay for a vanity project like a ballroom or whatever it is that this guy wants to do, instead of what it should be used for…

Or at all.

Saw a post where someone was excited about how many books they had read so far this year, and people were dunking all over them because it was a low number by their standards. Just, ew. Don't be like this. Who cares if you've read 150 books or 1. Read what you want when you want. Just read! 📚💙

Thanks for bringing us this bootlicking clown, Oprah.

“Republican friendly” is just a sanitized way of saying racist here www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/u...
