Today marks 10 years since a gunman took 49 lives at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, FL.
We honor those lost while continuing to strive for a country where LGBTQ+ people can safely be themselves.
Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:
“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.
Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.
Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”
Abdul Carter is asked if Jaxson Dart apologized in their conversation:
"I don't want him to say he's sorry. Stand on what you believe in, but it can't be a problem if I stand on what I believe in. As long as we have that understanding, it's all good."
“The harassment that I get is disgusting, but I know that I signed up to be in the public eye,” said basketball player Audi Crooks.

On Thursday morning, Kelsey Pfendler climbed into her rowboat in Monterey and began whipping westward. If all goes well, she won’t touch land again for months, until she reaches Honolulu, a feat that would make her the first American woman to row alone from California to Hawaii.

The twitter debate about food affordabilty seriously has me uncomfortable.
Can't believe we're at a point where we're trying to convince people that a burger and fries from a fast food joint is a luxury and indulging in it sometimes is living above your means if you make under six figures.
If you think its okay for someone who works 40 hours a week (or more) doing the jobs most people don't want, but commericial society can't function without...and then have the audacity to tell them they're irresponsible for getting a cup of coffee, or a take-out meal? We're not talking some five star restaurant and steak with all the trimmings. We're talking about a drive thru window.
It's just the rich dehumanizing the poor and moving the goal posts... again, to make it not 'a cost' problem. A 'commerical' problem or 'greed' problem. But the problem of the average worker instead.
Money tight? Yeah, maybe don't get Starbucks every single day, maybe don't eat out every day.
But this invalidation and online shaming of people for things that USED to be considered accessible?
"Them darn kids and their avocado toast!" ...God damn, please.
Inside The NBA: While discussing Jason Collins' passing, Charles Barkley: "We live in a homophobic society ... anybody who think we ain't got a bunch of gay players in all sports, they're just stupid."

imo, meta and ray ban's biggest challenge here is overcoming the stigma that wearing these glasses in public makes you a nerd or, at worst, a sexual pervert. putting them on the wife of a president associated with sexual crimes does not help this.
"Veteran's Against Fascism," including disabled veterans, were arrested inside of the Capitol building today as they staged a protest against Trump's war in Iran.

A West Oakland resident posted this video on Threads asking people to contact city officials and the number in the video to demand that the over 70 female trees marked to be cut down, be left alone.

Rapper Toosil Responds to gay allegations making it clear that calling someone gay is not an insult 🌈:
"Calling somebody gay is not an insult. people try to use it as an insult, but it's people's sexuality. And whatever somebody's sexuality is, it's not an insult. So don't try to throw it on a black man to down him because you feel like that's gonna,that's not gonna bring me down. What bring me down is the fact that you trying to use it as an insult while I got my son in my hand and knowing that one of these days he gonna have to get on the internet and see this.
I don't need nothing misleading. Like, oh dad, is this wrong? Like, is it? Nah, it's not wrong, son. At the end of the day, like you got some people who like women and you got some people who like men, son, and that's how it is.
