Today, we honor #IndigenousPeoplesDay โ recognizing the rich cultures, history, and continued resilience of Native and Indigenous communities.
We canโt erase the past. We must acknowledge it and work toward justice.
If you're a Dem who thinks you'll gain something by going anti-trans, look at Gallup's "most important problem" and Fox News' "most important issue" polling and see where trans issues rank.
Whoever told you going anti-trans is a savvy or necessary move spends too much time on X and should be fired.
It is definitely time for a generational change, but I'm glad Markey beat the bigot. Hopefully next term he will be succeeded by someone who isn't almost as old as air travel
U.S. Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts secured the Democratic nomination in his bid for a third full term, fighting off a challenger who argued that it was time for a generational change. bit.ly/4zSc23F#APPhoto by Meg Kinnard
WNBA players union leadership released a statement, I suggest everyone read it.
This is the message of united union leaders: hate will not be tolerated and trans inclusion IS protecting womenโs rights to play sports
This is excellently crafted. Proud of Nneka, Phee and the rest of WNBPA leaders
Chuck Grassley tweeted today about the loss of his 42-year-old vacuum. I kinda feel for him. Itโs bad news when you suddenly take the top spot for what sucks most in your household.
โI love America more than any other country in the world and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.โ

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250
A Pride reminder: If you are in the MKE area and you/your kid have court for a name change, I'm happy to come and sit at counsel's table with you/them if I am available. Parents/support people aren't allowed unless they're lawyers, and the process can be scary even in the best of circumstances.
๐ฅ @rokhanna.bsky.social to Democratic leadership: โGet out. Let a new generation lead. Youโve been ineffective. The base doesnโt like you. The base wants fighters.โ
the NCAA uploaded raw footage of the UConn buzzer-beater from every camera CBS had in the building to youtube (will drop in the replies) and the best part has to be this hard pan to Dan Hurley's mom yelling HOLY FUCKING SHIT followed by a synchronized simultaneous HOLY SHIT by both Hurley parents
CBS turned their news operation into propaganda, kicked Colbert off the air for making too much trouble, and all that just to have Charles Barkley go on the air on one of their most-watched telecasts of the year and say this lmao
"The way some of these other immigrants are getting treated in our country right now is a travesty and a disgrace... I think whatโs going on in our country โ what weโre doing to some of these amazing immigrants, is really unfortunate and itโs really sad." - Charles Barkley on CBS
If the USA Womenโs Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, Iโll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times.
Iโm sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ
Not just any journalist, she won the goddamn Triple Crown of broadcast journalism (an Emmy, a Peabody, and a Murrow) in 2024 for her reporting on Gaza.
This is textbook censorship of the highest degree
Iโm ok. Iโm a survivor so this small agitator isnโt going to intimidate me from doing my work.
I donโt let bullies win.
Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.
All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
Fuck Fox Sports for having that disgusting person on for a fluff piece while millions of Americans, including children, are starving and people are being kidnapped off the streets. Fucking gross.
Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.
