Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

We're not fighting over policy or political party.
We're fighting over whether we are going to be a civilization rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.
What you choose to arm yourself with, love or hate, exposes which side you're fighting on.

Donald Trump’s DOJ just tried—and failed—to indict me in front of a grand jury.
We will continue to fight back against their rising tyranny.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."
