1. Orlando citizens defied DeSantis and re-colored the rainbow crosswalk commemorating Pulse Nightclub victims.

The DeSantis admin had the memorial crosswalk painted over black during the cover of night.

Community members had it restored the very next day.

It should also raise the alarm for all of AI: If people like Musk are willing to weigh its AI to become mecha-hitler, they're probably also willing to weigh it to support their business interests.
Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you

Heads up, the fight is not over with respect to the trans care medicaid amendment. Marjorie Taylor Greene has reintroduced it on the House side. Call your house reps now and tell them not to approve it. Even republicans, especially moderate Republicans.
News: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has introduced an amendment to the reconciliation bill to bring back the Medicaid ban on gender-affirming care

The Senate removed it this morning and the parliamentarian disqualified the provision from reconciliation

Now is a good time to do it. They’re not moving in lockstep in this: there’s significant internal discord and twitchiness. Let’s get the pressure up
The Senate will soon vote on Trump’s Tax Scam, which would gut Medicaid and SNAP to fund more tax cuts for billionaires.

Call your GOP senators ASAP: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Or send an email if you can’t get anyone on the phone: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-cutt...

Everyone who follows me should call their Senator this morning to urge them to vote in favor of Wyden’s point of order and remove the Medicaid funding ban for transgender care from Trump’s horror bill.
Today, senator Ron Wyden will raise a point of order to remove the Medicaid and CHIP ban on gender affirming care. The Republicans need 60 votes to keep it in but they only have 53. Call your Dem senator today and urge them to vote to strip the ban from the bill. Senate switchboard 202-224-3121.

As a queer author, thank you for buying our gay books in response to the challenges and bans and court decisions, but I implore you to go stand up for your public libraries and schools—they’re our greatest advocates, and they’re kind of the main target of this whole effort.

Blocking JD Vance is the only right move to his attempt to troll Bluesky. Don't give him any attention, just block and move on. It's sad that with everything going on in the world, our Vice President has stooped so low as to become an everyday forum troll, but that's where we are now.

When the Cass Review came out last year, the NYT rushed to cover it complete with post notifications. After reviews in Germany and Utah came out supporting gender affirming care for trans youth, dead silence. You can be just as biased in what you don't cover as what you do.

I want every gay person that doesn't realize that transgender rights and gay rights are interconnected to read this story.

A far-right judge just erased your rights against harassment in the workplace along with ours.

We are in this together and there's only one way out.
1. Far right federal judge Matthew Kacsmaryk has just vacated all EEOC protections for gay and trans people in the work place.

He says protections from "being fired" do not mean they are protected from harassment by Title VII.

I cover this insane ruling here.

The only time I wish I had any amount of contact with my ex is when Ouran High School Host Club comes up because no one else understands how much of a foundation that series is for me as a person.

Any other time they can get bent tho lol.
