If ever a story so summed up the inept and dangerous cosplay nature of Pete Hesgeth as “Secretary of War”, it’s this one.

We need more politicians — more U.S. citizens — like David Beasley. As usual, the PBS NewsHour brings dispassionate coverage to an overly passionate political moment. @NewsHour

Vivek Ramaswamy is an absolute POS, period, end stop. GOP & Democrats are united in their disgust at the ad his campaign debuted today. I was “done” w/ DJT when he made fun of a disabled reporter and this vile, desperate attack is right up there.

This ain’t going away…Republicans and Democrats are united in opposition to this.

Ahoy! Where does the time FLY! Seems like only yesterday (but it was 22 years ago) that Michael Micael and I first met at San Francisco’s Cafe Flore. From those Castro beginnings sprang a friendship and professional collaboration.

(2 of 2) I can’t (noone can) predict what Nov 3 will bring. However, watching James Talarico on his CNN town hall, convinces me that we’re entering a “post Trump” era of “we the people” not me a Republican & you a Democrat. @jamestalarico @TeamTalaricoHQ

(1 of 2) The majority of US are non-screaming moderates: Democrats (like me) willing to dialogue w/ our GOP brethren and non-MAGA GOPers anxious to do the same with Blue Staters. @jamestalarico @TeamTalaricoHQ

“The Castro is not merely a neighbourhood in San Francisco. It is an idea made physical: a place where history, visibility, grief, celebration, politics, cinema and daily life have converged for generations.” — David Perry @thecastromerch @Castrolgbtq

“Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” one of the most enduring pop standards of the 20th century, was written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio and became a defining hit for Frankie Valli. Crewe, was gay at a time when openness could have damaged a career.

Breaking News! It looks like we're closer to a date for the reefing of the SS United States: sometime mid-November. @SSUSC

Four years ago, San Francisco voters gave me a chance to help lead needed change on drug policy. Here’s what I’ve done with it.

Our dear friend Lucinda Hawksley @lucindahawksley gives Dickensian perspective on the latest horror from this administration.

David Brooks @nytDavidBr0oks and @CapehartJ summarize and philosophize about the week’s news for the @NewsHour in an admirably cogent & collegial way. The last segment, about Pete Hesgeth’s repugnant plan to live stream an execution is memorable.

In less than 2 years of cruel & unusual punishment at the hands of this cruel and all too usual administration, there have been all too many horrific stories: few more horrific than this reported on tonight’s PBS NewsHour @NewsHour

Terrific reporting by Andrew Egger from Ohio--Pierre Damas Bel's funeral in Springfield, and Trump's rally nearby.

"They buried Pierre Damas Bel on Saturday. That night, Donald Trump came to town to take a victory lap on the policies that killed him."

“Even as the Republican Party has devolved, the Democrats have lost huge swaths of the country. To get them back, the party needs to leave plenty of room for pragmatists who want to run offbeat campaigns about fish.” — Stephen Stromberg @NYTimesOpinion

Today is the Feast of St. Francis. In the 1972 film “Brother Sun, Sister Moon”, Saint Francis meets Pope Innocent III to seek approval for his radical life of poverty and service. I watch it every year on this date. It never fails to move and inspire me.

Tonight’s @NewsHour segment with @DavidBrooks224 and Kimberly Atkins-Stohr is historic: Grok as a presidential advisor and a Defense Department unhinged.

Thank you Steven Bracco @Hoodline for the love & THANK YOU to the Rainbow Honor Walk board, volunteers & supporters who keep it going. Hard to believe it’s been 12 years since the first plaques were installed; over 30 years since I had the original idea.
