Happy Pride Pittsburgh!! It was an honor to serve as Grand Marshall for Pittsburgh Pride!
One of the greatest Kennedy Center Honors performances ever: Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart, Jason Bonham on drums, and Shane Fontayne on electric guitar. It moved Robert Plant to tears as he watched alongside Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones. (Edited for format)

Allegheny County Council unanimously passed a local PREA ordinance protecting transgender and intersex people in the Allegheny County Jail, even as the federal government moves to weaken those protections.
Trans people are sacred. Our stories matter. Our joy matters.
I’m honored to be named the 2026 Power of Pride Award Honoree by Rep. La’Tasha D. Mayes and grateful to be part of a community that continues to choose love, courage, and each other.

Allegheny County Council voted unanimously Tuesday night to codify federal Prison Rape Elimination Act protections into county law, creating local safeguards for incarcerated people, particularly transgender women and intersex people, even as the Trump administration moves to weaken those standards at the federal level. Ordinance 13180-26, referred to throughout public comment simply as “PREA,” passed during the May 26, 2026 County Council meeting with support from every councilmember present. Sponsored by Councilmembers Bethany Hallam, Alex Rose, Kathleen Madonna-Emmerling, and Patrick Catena, the ordinance amends Allegheny County code to formally incorporate provisions of the federal Prison Rape Elimination Act into local law governing the Allegheny County Jail.
