1. Trump has promised harsher ICE crackdowns on Truth Social. He blamed transgender people as the reason such crackdowns must happen. Particularly, he used the phrase "transgender for everybody," a phrase he has increasingly used to justify anything he wants. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible. We have always been here.

A bright yellow illustration by Katie Abey features a cartoon marmoset with a rainbow scarf and expressive eyes, sitting cheerfully on the ground. The text reads: “This marmoset told me to tell you that you’re doing an amazing job and you are loved.” The marmoset has fluffy white tufts by its ears and a big smile, adding warmth and encouragement to the message. Text is playful and hand-drawn in style.
