So if this was supposed to be Trump targeting Canada, there’s a pretty big problem the name he actually replaced was Indigenous in origin. He took a centuries-old Native American name and replaced it with “Lake America.” Trump is a fool!

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

A federal judge is pushing back hard after the Trump administration tried to set her up. Judge Melissa DuBose ordered the release of Bryan Rafael Gomez on April 28 after he filed a petition challenging the legality of his detention. What she didn’t know because the

Anne Hathaway, you will ALWAYS be that girl. 💙💛

The judge to RFK Jr. (probably): maybe don’t practice medicine ever, let alone via vibes and funding threats. Blocking care doesn’t make kids healthier, it just makes outcomes worse. This ruling? A win for evidence-based care and actual doctors, not 🧠 worms. Oh and of course, public health! 😌 🏳️‍⚧️

Purple Heart Recipient Held by ICE for 8 Hours Says He Wasn’t Allowed to Call a Lawyer

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

BREAKING: Huge loss for Trump administration at Supreme Court, which rules that the Trump administration had lacked authority to federalize and deploy the National Guard to execute laws in Illinois. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Healthcare decisions should be made by patients, their families, and trained medical experts — who undergo nearly a decade of education and training to exercise good judgment in supporting patients’ needs.

The House is expected to vote later this week on H.R. 3492, Marjorie Taylor Greene’s extreme bill that would impose severe financial penalties and up to a 10-year prison sentence for providers who deliver lifesaving, essential healthcare to transgender and gender diverse patients.

An unapologetic ally through and through. Thank you, Rob Reiner. May you and Michele rest in power.

Damn good questioning here.

HOPE WALZ: “What world are we f*cking living in? I draw the line at Gus. You people are f*cking disgraceful.” She says MAGA loyalists are now driving by their home and yelling “R*tard!” at her family and her special needs brother after Trump called GovTimWalz the R word.

“Since 1998, independent researchers have conducted more than 40 high-quality studies involving over 5.6 million people. The conclusion is clear and unambiguous: There’s no link between vaccines and autism." -Dr. Susan Kressly, AAP President on recent changes to the CDC's website

A library director in Wyoming who was fired two years ago because she refused to remove books with sexual content and LGBTQ themes from a library's children and young adult sections has just been awarded $700,000 in a settlement. t.co/EA5L1kOZfV

Republicans just shut down the government to rip away healthcare and hand Trump another blank check for his illegal power grab. Instead of negotiating a budget that protects families, Republicans chose to throw working families under the bus. This is the GOP’s shutdown & they own the damage from it.

1. BREAKING In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now the White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration.

LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he won’t work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. I’m hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.

This is the lead story in the New York Times. If you're in the business of communicating, whether through journalism, commentary, or art, this is the five-alarm fire. People are going to remember who spoke up and who stayed conveniently silent or postured about "neutrality."

I used to be so relieved the local abc channel I watched for at least 30 years was a nexstar station and not Sinclair. Even bought the stupid GMA steals and deals. Gonna miss it

1. Trump threatened every hospital that provides gender affirming care to transgender youth. Many complied and shut down their programs. Boston Children's Hospital didn't. They fought back and kept providing care. And now, they just beat Trump in court. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Protect your community and stand with immigrant workers and customers. Help local businesses put up signs marking “Staff Only” areas that ICE cannot enter without a warrant. Together, we can slow ICE down: act.indivisible.org/...

Motherfucking wind farms…

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

Bowing down to authoritarianism is a fundamental betrayal of the fundamental mission of higher ed. Shame on Columbia. abcnews.go.com/US/columbia-...

Let’s be clear: This is political censorship. Just as CBS’ parent company handed Trump $16 million to settle a spurious lawsuit, this decision is about preemptively bowing to a regime that demands obedience. We stand with Stephen Colbert and every voice that Trump wants silenced.

The Declaration of Independence and the enumeration of why America shall have no King: 1/4

On this last night of Pride month in the middle of a Stranger Things rewatch… watching again that scene with Robin and Steve makes my heart smile. The world feels so unsafe and ugly right now but this escape makes me want to believe it can be ok for the ones I need it to be ok for

You might ask: who is the Trump administration targeting? Here’s one story. Madonna “Donna” Kashanian, a 64-year-old Iranian woman who has lived in the U.S. for 47 years, was detained by ICE while gardening outside her home in New Orleans.

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state. That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress: Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

I hope the anguish of these kids haunts their dreams

Illinois has enshrined protections to meet this very moment. In a time of increasing overreach and hateful rhetoric, it's more important than ever to reaffirm our commitment to the rights and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community. You have a home here always.

A win! A federal judge has ordered the government to restore hundreds of NIH grants slashed by the Trump administration, ruling the cuts were discriminatory against minorities and LGBTQ individuals. The judge said he’d have to be “blind” not to see the discrimination and declared the cuts illegal.

BREAKING: Judge Breyer orders Trump to return control of the National Guard back to California, saying the call-up was illegal. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

My thoughts on what’s going on in Los Angeles:

At a time when we need a courageous media, corporate-owned outlets are cowering

The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.

The Trump administration announced plans to eliminate federal protections for millions of acres of Alaskan wilderness, opening the door to drilling and mining in some of the nation’s last untouched landscapes.

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

Yes, Joni, we are all going to die. But it shouldn't be our SENATORS who are killing us.
