Mature, progressive, widow helping younger gay men and couples survive & thrive just as my late husband and I did for 25 years. I'm also doing my best to maintain my sanity as I watch my country slip into a fascist oligarchy.

Hegseth has ordered that the USNS Harvey Milk, named for the iconic gay rights icon, be renamed. Harvey Milk served as a diving officer and later as a diving instructor for four years in the U.S. Navy. That this would happen at the start of Pride is intentional.

My god...
Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today.

I'm so angry.

Well, they probably fired the people who know how SEVIS works and those that he's appointed haven't figured out how to write a report in 5th grade language that he can understand.
Every single foreign student at Harvard and every other US institution had to get a visa which required them to specify the school, and is tracked in a DHS system called SEVIS by their school.
Trump: "Part of the problem w/ Harvard is there are about 31% of foreigners coming to Harvard...but they refuse to tell us who the people are...it shouldn't be 31%. It's too much. Bc we have Americans who want to go there...we want a list of those students...I assume with Harvard many will be bad"

As commentary on the state of affairs in the US, I recently posited the following in a private conversation: assuming (1) there is both a heaven and a hell and (2) I'm destined to go to hell, if I were to die today, would I be able to tell? Now I'm saying this almost daily to people I hardly know.

This is a great example of why I support hard-working independent reporters like @chrisgeidner.bsky.social and @lawdorknews.bsky.social. They don't let even the less flashy stories fall into the shadows.
BREAKING: In a challenge to Trump's effort to end refugee resettlement, federal judge issues an order (after DOJ appealed the prelim injunction to the Ninth Circuit, now it's back) that the Trump admin must restart processes for those refugees OK'ed & set to come as of Jan. 20 "immediately."

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes.

Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out
