Yeah. But it’s crazy to think it could be real, right?

The White House will later today announce that Speaker of the House Mike Johnson will also serve as the Director of Legislative Affairs. “Mike is so SMART and TUFF (sic) and Loyal,” said the Sharpie-in-Chief. “I gave Mike a deadline and a BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL and said DO THIS FOR ME. And he did it.”

This #scotus ruling makes us sad for all the bright, curious children who love learning and will have their exploration cut off by the biases of others.

Our hearts break for the mental health impacts that young queer people will feel as they try to figure themselves out and are made to feel lesser.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled public schools must allow opt-outs from any lesson parents believe will interfere with their child's religious development, including LGBTQ-themed materials.

This will make it difficult for public schools to teach lessons that may trigger religious objections.

WH presser shifted from SCOTUS decisions but bizarre ramblings w/no basis in fact continue. Claims that tariffs brought in “hundreds of millions of dollars” just don’t add up. Threats and chaos loom large but most countries’ tariffs still on hold, delayed, or w/drawn.

Trump trade deadlines in July 'not critical': White House

"Perhaps it could be extended, but that's a decision for the president to make," Trump press secretary Karoline Leavitt said of the tariff extension deadlines.

Speaking of which… the Regime’s presser is an embarrassing display of bravado & full-blown misinformation at work.

They are claiming a victory that has not yet been won.

Not one federal judge has come close to validating the Regime’s substantive position on eliminating birthright citizen.

AltPressSec @altpresssec.altgov.info · Jun 27

With Trump v CASA, SCOTUS handed the Regime a first down… maybe even a TD. But we’re a long way from the final whistle, folks. Stretch your legs, grab a snack, & reapply that sunscreen.

Whatever you do, don’t give away the win! The fight to protect birthright citizenship is far from over. #SCOTUS

Dissenting justices in Trump v. CASA sounding the alarm.
- Justice Sotomayor issues sharply worded dissent from the bench, calling out threats to other constitutionally protected rights.
- Justice Jackson, in her own dissent, calls majority ruling “an existential threat to the rule of law.” #SCOTUS

SCOTUS’ last day of the 2024-25 term is underway. Buckle up Buttercups! A 6-3 decision in Trump v. CASA limits nationwide injunctions & sidesteps any resolution to the merits of Trump’s EO challenging the fundamental elements of birthright citizenship. (🎁 article)

In light of today, we wanted to highlight another #AltPrideCitizen. Bayard Rustin was one of MLK, Jr.’s closest advisors of nonviolent protest techniques and one of the primary organizers of the March on Washington in 1963. After being arrested on a “moral charge,” he was outed and lived his (1/2)

Graphic with text on left side that reads, There are three way in which one can deal with an injustice. (a) One can accept it without protest. (b) One can seek to avoid. (c) One can resist the injustice non-violently. To accept it is to perpetuate it. A black and white photo of civil rights leader Bayard Rustin is on the right side.

At the all-hands, Nina Witkofsky from our “leadership” called her “like a mythical creature, the unicorn you never see.”

It’ll take some serious magic to explain her prolonged absence. 🦄

Ok, then. Assuming we’re going for Latin alphabet? My Cyrillic and Greek alphabet knowledge is… well… I’d combine b and g but have them stacked. (Ok, so this is also my shorthand for making the “section” symbol when writing a statutory citation.) What sound? It would sound like book but with a g. 😅
