A headline by Military.com reads: "Hegseth Orders Navy to Strip Name of Gay Rights Icon Harvey Milk from Ship"

A headline by Military.com reads: "Hegseth Orders Navy to Strip Name of Gay Rights Icon Harvey Milk from Ship"

Erasing Harvey Milk’s name is disgusting, blatant discrimination—and during Pride Month to boot.

He served the U.S. Navy and his country honorably, and he was assassinated while serving the public and fighting for LGBTQ+ rights.

Hegseth should be ashamed of himself and reverse this immediately.

Self-diagnosis is valid.

Also, telling someone who landed on self-diagnosis after months, if not years of researching and learning about autism, that they're not autistic because they don't have a piece of paper saying so, is classist and ableist. Please don't do this.

What is happening to trans people is an extension of what can happen to all people who could be redefined out of existence.

Which is all people.

What is happening to trans people is a universal threat.

Lots of people are joining the Musk boycott. Across the country, Americans are protesting at Tesla showrooms, even taking free test drives just to waste the company’s time.

The rage I feel towards folks who called warnings about Project 2025 "fearmongering" and insisted that it was all an effort by Democrats to manipulate people into voting for them even though they suck...it's impossible to put into words now that Project 2025 is being implemented at lightning speed.

If Trump's tax proposals were in effect by 2026, the richest 5% of households would, on average, get a tax cut.

If you make less than $360,000, you would likely see a tax hike.
