BREAKING: How San Antonio OUTSMARTED Greg Abbott and his homophobic rainbow crosswalk ban. Governor Greg Abbott thought he could erase the rainbows celebrating pride on the crosswalks of Texas streets. In his homophobic fog, however, he forgot about the sidewalks. After Abbott ordered the removal of rainbow crosswalks across the state — citing "safety issues" while opposing what he called "political messaging" — San Antonio faced an impossible choice: keep the crosswalks and risk losing $80 million in state funding, or remove symbols that have welcomed the city's LGBTQ+ community since 2018. Gay City Council member Jalen McKee-Rodriguez found the answer hiding in plain sight. Crosswalks fall under state jurisdiction. Sidewalks do not. "We thought, how do we send the strongest possible message to the LGBTQ+ community that we're not going to be bullied?" McKee-Rodriguez said. "They can get rid of the crosswalks, but we can follow that law and paint the sidewalks instead." In March, San Antonio's Pride Cultural Heritage District got brand new rainbow sidewalks — fully legal, fully colorful, and fully defiant. "They are a symbol that we are still here," said Robert Chavez, 67, smiling at the new markings. "We almost ended up with no rainbows at all in our area." Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones — herself gay, an Air Force and Iraq War veteran who served under "don't ask, don't tell" — was pragmatic about the compromise: "My pride is not tied to this paint. It's in my heart and head." But she supported the sidewalk solution as the strongest message the city could send within the law. Abbott's spokesman responded that "Texans expect their tax dollars to enhance roadway safety, not advance political ideologies." He did not comment on the sidewalks. Presumably because there's nothing he can do about them. Houston removed its rainbow crosswalks. Dallas removed its rainbow crosswalks. San Antonio removed its crosswalks and immediately painted the sidewalks instead. The governor tried to legislate away a community's visibility. A gay city council member read the fine print and found a workaround. The rainbows are still there. Sometimes the most powerful act of resistance is knowing exactly where the jurisdiction ends. Please like and share this if you think love and pride are bigger than Greg Abbott's attempts to make them invisible.

You got me, I catered a holiday reception for my staff with campaign — not taxpayer — dollars! Now let's see your receipts. #ReleaseTheTab

@bushonomics @TheTNHoller He’s always been a con man. The sequel is worse than the first time around.

Speaker of the TN House Cameron Sexton just removed me and every Democrat — and therefore every Black elected official in the state legislature from any committee we served on. This move strips nearly 2 million Tennesseans from the representation they deserve in TN state leg.

There are more unregistered Black voters in the state of Louisiana than the margin of victory in the 2023 gubernatorial election. That number was 272,302. Louisiana could have a Black governor if they wanted to, just by simply registering to vote and turning out. We can no longer look at voting as an option. Instead, it must be looked at as an obligation. The best weapon in a war of democracy is a vote. ✔️👆🏾

We’re the FIRST state to ban dynamic pricing in grocery stores. Here’s why:

@FoxNews @dave_winx Bravo! Inching toward accountability.

A one-vote margin just changed the conversation around ICE in Minnesota. In a razor-thin 34–33 vote, the state Senate backed a bill banning ICE agents from wearing masks during operations, and giving residents the right to sue if they believe their constitutional rights were violated.

I am the Head of Product at Trump Mobile. There is no product. I have the best job in America. 590,000 people paid $100 each to preorder a gold phone that does not exist. That is $59 million. My KPI is deposit velocity. I have a whiteboard in my office that says DEPOSIT VELOCITY. There is nothing else on the whiteboard. We announced the phone June 2025. Gold case. American flag on the back. "Made in the USA." Ship date: August. I moved it to November. Then December. Then Q1 2026. Then mid-March. Each time I sent 590,000 people an email that said "exciting update." The exciting update was that the phone still did not exist. In April I deleted the ship date from the website entirely. I got a standing ovation on the all-hands. That was our most successful product milestone. The phone is a $499 gold Android. 50MP camera. 6.78-inch display. Fingerprint sensor. I have never held one. Nobody on earth has held one. We got the T1 certified for network compatibility in March. We celebrated like we'd shipped. We did not ship. We certified the concept of a phone. The network said: if this thing existed, it could connect. We called that a breakthrough. On April 6th I updated the terms and conditions. "A preorder deposit does not guarantee that a Device will be produced or made available for purchase." Trump Mobile does not guarantee regulatory approval. Does not guarantee production. Does not guarantee delivery. Does not guarantee the phone will exist. The deposit is non-transferable and carries no independent cash value. I have the printout framed in my office next to the whiteboard. That is the only thing we have shipped on schedule.  "Made in the USA" lasted three months. Became "American-proud design." Then "designed with American values in mind." We manufacture overseas. Final assembly of 10 components happens in Miami. We counted putting the flag sticker on the back as one of the 10. While 590,000 people wait for their gold phone, we are currently selling refurbished iPhones. Made in China. With a Trump logo on the box. For $47.45 a month on T-Mobile's network. We are reselling another company's network at a patriotic markup. The plan is called the 47 Plan. The 47 is the only original thing about it. An intern asked me last month when we are going to build the phone. I promoted her to VP of Customer Expectations. Senator Warren wrote the FTC in January. I am not worried. We will have launched the next product before they finish reading the letter. That is always the math. I know the math because I have been watching it evolve for years. Trump University promised education. Delivered weekend seminars in hotel conference rooms. 5,000 students. Settled for $25 million. That was version 1.0. You had to rent the room. You had to print the binder. You had to hire the speaker. You had to settle. Three entire obligations. $TRUMP memecoin. No education. No binder. No room. Peaked at $75. Now $2.80. Down 96%. 1 billion tokens minted. 80% went to the team. 45 wallets gained $1.2 billion on launch night while everyone else watched their screens. For every dollar insiders made, retail lost twenty. That was version 2.0. You did not have to build anything. You did not have to hire anyone. You just had to press mint. Two obligations eliminated. $MELANIA. Same model. Launched 48 hours later on the same audience. Down 99%. 24 wallets bought $2.6 million worth exactly 2.5 minutes before the First Lady's announcement. One wallet turned $681,000 into $39 million in 24 hours. The team controls 92% of supply. Her launch crashed her husband's token by 50% in the same hour. That was version 2.1. A patch, not a release. You did not even need a new customer base. You could cannibalize the last one. WLFI. World Liberty Financial. The President's crypto project. Took $500 million from 600,000 wallets. Tokens locked. Cannot sell. Cannot transfer. Cannot leave. Team holds 73% of supply and votes to unlock itself. The project's advisor borrowed $75 million on a lending platform he co-founded. Using investor tokens as collateral. On a protocol where the project is 82.7% of total value locked. Other depositors could not withdraw. The President's family takes 75 cents of every dollar. That was version 3.0. You did not have to deliver anything. You did not have to pretend anything would go up. You just had to lock the door and keep the key. One obligation remaining: the smart contract. Trump Mobile is version 4.0. I did not have to mint a token. Did not have to write a smart contract. Did not have to lock a single wallet. Did not have to build a lending platform or freeze a billionaire or rig a governance vote. I put a flag on a gold rectangle that does not exist, opened a deposit page, collected $59 million from 590,000 Americans, and then updated the terms to say the deposit does not guarantee the rectangle will ever be real. The version history, in case you are keeping score: 1.0 — Had to rent a room. Had to settle. 2.0 — Had to mint. Didn't have to build. 2.1 — Didn't even need new customers. 3.0 — Didn't have to deliver. They couldn't leave. 4.0 — Didn't have to promise. They paid for the flag. Each version removes one obligation. University had three. We are down to zero. My product roadmap is one slide. It says DEPOSITS. Version 5.0 will not need the webpage. The phone was never the product. The deposit was always the product. The flag was the conversion funnel. The name was the close. The terms update was the only deliverable. "Made in the USA" was the positioning until it wasn't and then "American values" was the positioning until that stops working and then we will find new words that mean nothing and those will work too because the words were never the product either. I am the Head of Product at Trump Mobile. I have never made a phone. I have made $59 million. The product is the transaction. Delivery is a legacy feature from version 1.0 and we deprecated it three versions ago.

BREAKING: New information has leaked indicating that in 2022 The president’s oldest son, Hunter Biden traveled with his father to China to meet President Xi, while, running a business that his father had the majority ownership in. Oops, never mind, that was Eric Trump today.

@RightWingWatch @Islalvr He must know his holy book came from polygamous barbaric child killing Iron Age goat herders, no white people appear, and the ONE person in that book he claims to follow-as a god-had ONE basic message which he routinely ignores.

Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon declares that Vivek Ramaswamy must be 'demolished' in the Ohio election to send a message to the GOP that "polytheistic, demon-worshiping, cow-worshiping, bare-feet scamming anchor baby Indians" will not be tolerated peoplefor.org/rightwingwatch…

@TheTNHoller @EelZebra Remember that orange buffoon saying “What the hell do you have to lose?” REMEMBER THAT?

Q: “To African-Americans concerned this is going to draw Black members of congress off the map, what do you say?” TRUMP: “I think it's been a wonderful process.”

Abdul El-Sayed: “AIPAC and Israel are not the same as Judaism and the Jewish people. I love Judaism and I love the Jewish people. The single most dangerous thing they’ve tried to tell us is somehow they can extend the definition of antisemitism to include a foreign government and its leaders. I call bullshit”

@BasedMikeLee Breaking: The king of two dimensional thinking has another shitty idea!

The federal gasoline tax was introduced to build the interstate highway system That system is now built We should now repeal the federal gasoline tax and let each state maintain its portion of the interstate highway system—with its own revenue—as was the plan from the beginning

Ken Paxton just gave a misdemeanor to a an attorney who sodomized a child for years. He does not care about children.

@atrupar @virgo_proud Says the guy who didn’t know the three branches of government and revels in ignorance

not subtle

BREAKING: Jeffrey Epstein survivor Maria Farmer just released this video message to Congress, telling them how Ghislaine Maxwell has threatened her life, and the Trump DOJ has not released all of the evidence she supplied to them about Epstein and multiple Co-conspirators. Everyone needs to hear this! What are they hiding?

Epstein Survivor hearing happening in West Palm Beach now. We stand with survivors.

@mattvanswol Awww poor Matt is upset normal people don’t want to associate with a bigot who stands proudly with white supremacists.

I’ve gone to the same gym for almost 4 years now. Good friends with nearly everyone there. One day a guy who used to make small talk with me, just stopped. Didn’t think much of it, but it went on for weeks. Found out later he’s a liberal and someone showed him my X account and he just won’t talk to me now. This has happened many many many times since becoming publicly conservative. I’ve lost many friends and even many more acquaintances. They won’t even discuss us. Won’t even look at me. It’s bad for me… but it’s 10,000x worse for my wife. Liberal women are genuinely EVIL to conservative women. It’s on another level. Pure evil. No one talks about this enough but the public shaming of people who are openly conservative is extremely intense and unless you have a lot of mental fortitude and surround yourself with better people quickly… I can understand why many find it is not worth saying anything at all. But that doesn’t make it harder for those of us who speak up… because we are the few.

It is right to say these TWO things 1. I oppose antisemitism and I want Jews in the UK to live their lives without fear 2. I oppose Israel's war crimes, including GENOCIDE, and I oppose UK government's support for and enabling of those war crimes and GENOCIDE

@DavidMarts13 Why should black players attend @LSUfootball @LSUFBrecruiting @LSU after the state just took away their voting power? In 2026 LSU drew voting maps that are overtly racist that could pose a threat to recruiting. Why hasn't Lane spoken against them? He doesn't give a shit.
