Suffering as she did from a life ending illness, she could still sing softly and gracefully. What a life that woman led. She was the Queen of Song💖

OREO NEEDS YOU‼️
Oreo has been here 18mths now and he’s just not improving at all.
Simple case of… he needs out of the shelter.
He’s 5yrs old, gentle but very scared and now doesn’t even want to come on walks.
Who can be a hero to this wonderful boy Oreo? 🙏🏻❤️

Deee-Lite’s vibrant live take on “Groove Is In The Heart” at NYC’s Irving Plaza, in 1990 - pre-release energy at its peak.
Pure 90s dance magic! 💃🏻🕺🏻
This is the exact point where the 80s became the 90s! 🔥

[The Gay Aesthetic @jmlx_john2]

Released on July 25, 1982, Sylvester’s “Do You Wanna Funk” fueled gay bars from Provincetown to Fire Island, from Mykonos to the Costa del Sol. It was the last summer we existed totally without fear and simply lived to dance. 🏳️‍🌈

Every greyhound's new beginning starts with someone saying...

"Sure, they can stay with us."

Thank you to every GALT foster family who opens their home & heart.

You make happily-ever-afters possible.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

@PatrickByrne did not work alone “fabricat[ing] awesome and farfetched narratives to garner attention in the media” to defame me and damage my father’s presidency in the service of @realDonaldTrump.

In December of 2020 Byrne was in the Oval Office, urging the President to seize voting machines. Steve Bannon was in the Willard Hotel war room promoting the same lies. Byrne spent $40M of his own money, including $27M to The American Project and millions to the J6 protestors for fines and fees and living expenses for their families. Bannon ran the same cause every morning on @Bannons_WarRoom.

They pushed the same lies on the same targets for the same years. Stop the Steal and The Hunter Biden Laptop conspiracy were all a part of the same operation.

The court described their methods last week in my win over Byrne. I’m writing about all of it on my Substack.

Here’s an excerpt:
“In April 2019, Bannon texted Epstein his three-step plan: ‘first we need to push back on the lies; then crush the pedo/trafficking narrative; then rebuild your image as philanthropist.’

The three-step playbook he texted to Epstein in April 2019 is worth reading again alongside what he did with the laptop material sixteen months later.

For Epstein: push back on the ‘lies,’ crush the pedo/trafficking narrative, rebuild the image as philanthropist.
For the laptop: fabricate the folders, distribute the altered sex pictures, use the @nypost’s @mirandadevine to launder it into credibility.

The method is identical. The target changes. The practitioner does not.”

The record exists. Read it on my Substack. Link in the replies.

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

I have a funny personal story about Lindsey Graham.

In 2010, he voted against the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" despite overwhelming bipartisan support to overturn the ban on gay, lesbian, bisexual Americans serving openly in our military. (It passed and got signed.)

In 2013, he voted against the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which would have provided protections against discrimination for LGBTQ Americans in the workplace. (Substantial bipartisan support in the Senate but the GOP-controlled House refused to take a vote on it.)

In 2022, he voted against the Respect for Marriage Act despite bipartisan support for federalizing protections for same-sex marriage in case Obergefell got overturned. (The bill was passed and signed into law by President Biden).

In fact, he pretty much opposed LGBTQ rights at every turn in his career, never offering anything in the way of sound legal reasoning to justify his opposition.

A lot has been said about Mr. Graham's private life in the past few days. Some commentators say it's unfair to speculate over his sexual orientation, particularly in the wake of his death.

I think it's rather unfair that this man spent his entire career making the lives of LGBTQ Americans much harder for no good reason. Just because it was politically convenient for him.

It's been a rather fascinating exercise to watch many politicos and reporters share their fun and wistful anecdotes about Mr. Graham. He was so funny and so charming.

That's nice.

I'll always remember him as someone who viewed LGBTQ Americans as second-class citizens unworthy of equal treatment and dignity.

Perhaps hypocritically so.

Anyway... that's actually not a fun story but it is very personal.

17 year old ex racing greyhound Liz (yes 17!) is at the end of her life, the vets have given her 2 weeks so her lovely human has taken 2 weeks off to take her to do all her favourite things 🥹
Liz loved to swim when she was younger so paying us a visit was on her bucket list 💕🇬🇧

I need yall to help me by simply RTing this. It’s so many moving pieces for the @FIFAWorldCup that I missed the nonprofit side preparing for the Fan Festival. All I need is 25 tickets to one game in Dallas to cap this summer off perfectly for them.
