It's halfway through Pride Month.
I just wanted to say that if you are a good person and you are pan, omni, Ace, bi-, gay, lesbian, poly-, trans, or otherwise lgbtq, I love ya and am glad you are here.
Also, Batgirl, the Birds of Prey, the Uncanny X-Men, Red Sonja, and Wonder Woman agree with me.

A Catholic hospital refused to treat an Illinois woman's ectopic pregnancy until her condition became more dangerous.
She later lost her ability to get pregnant naturally.
Then the doctor sued HER for talking about it.

More embarrassing stuff from @bloomberg.com. Perhaps its crack reports and savvy editors can try googling "iran jcpoa." Even just skimming the AI summary will reveal how Obama resolved this issue and then Trump screwed it up.
Notable to me in the story about the admin weighing suspending habeas corpus & invoking the Insurrection Act-what moved the needle against the Insurrection Act was concern about "public relations."
Public pushback, agitation, & outcry can work. Even now. Keep it up.

So did @annaleen.bsky.social, @maddow.bsky.social, @davidsirota.com, @ernie.tedium.co, @glennkessler.bsky.social, and a bunch of other folks. You can see that petition here:

I have an important bird fact to share.
Yesterday I was hiking and heard a baby bald eagle… or so I thought.
Turns out that bald eagles actually make a chirping noise so the red-tailed hawk is the eagle’s voice actor! All this time. Everyone quietly lies and subs in the hawk. Everyone in the US!
