This led to 4 years of legal whiplash in the legislature, the state supreme court, and the ballot box, ultimately culminating in Perry v. Schwarzenegger in the U.S. Supreme Court, which made same-sex marriage legal in California.

Their marriage was soon voided by the California Supreme Court, claiming Mayor Gavin Newsom had overstepped his authority by issuing marriage licenses under an equal protection argument.

🏳️‍🌈 22 years ago today, Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon were the first of ~4,000 same-sex couples to get married in San Francisco. Del and Phyllis founded the Daughters of Bilitis (DOB)–the first lesbian organization in the United States–in the midst of the Lavender Scare, an era of pervasive homophobia.

While the Senate is asking Trump why they started a war to kidnap a foreign leader perhaps they might also ask why Trump freed a former foreign leader convicted of the same kind of crimes.

Im seeing discussions about consultations with congress, authorizations of force etc. I have to say this transcends any of what I would call sub constitutional technicalities. The president has gone to war with a foreign power and, it seems, kidnapped a foreign head of state on the basis of nothing.

Trump is increasingly worried about his own mortality, and he's trying to use government to create a physical legacy that will outlive him. Which is why every bit of it must be torn down and smashed to bits. My latest at Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-rena...
In the first hours and days of the next president’s term, there must be a concerted effort to utterly expunge the name “Donald Trump” from every federal building, outpost, sign, website, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse, and doghouse, except where necessary for historical accuracy.

And not just the name, but every vulgar trace of him: Chisel off the letters, take down the photos, melt down the stupid coins, tear out his patio and replant the Rose Garden, strip all the chintzy gold appliques from the walls of the Oval Office. Maybe even demolish the ballroom, but at the very least remodel it so it doesn’t look so much like an obscene mashup of the Winter Palace and Saddam Hussein’s bathroom, then rename it for someone he hates. The Obama Ballroom has a nice ring to it.

For years, but especially for the past year, Democrats have been in thrall to the idea that they need to chase an imagined median voter, and adopt that voter’s positions. Mamdani’s victory shows another way: hold principles, and persuade people to share them.

he’s not wrong, unfortunately.
TECHCRUNCH screenshot:

Cluely's Roy Lee has a message for startup founders: you should be thinking harder about how to go viral.

"Generally, if you're not in deep tech, then you need to low-key deep focus on distribution," Lee told the crowd at Disrupt 2025.

But he also made it clear that not everyone was cut out for this kind of viral marketing.

"If you're any good at engineering, you're probably not funny and you're probably not going to be a content creator because you don't have it in your blood. Realistically, most of these people have no chance of going viral."

“Hi, Senator Hagerty, hi, this is Amy Grant,” she said. “I’m standing on stage singing to over a thousand people … We want you to know that here in Nashville we want to see full funding of PEPFAR so we can stay on track to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic by 2030.” www.christianitytoday.com/2025/06/amy-...
On Wednesday night during a concert at a Nashville-area church, she made a phone call to Republican senator Bill Hagerty's office on speakerphone. She left a voicemail.
"Hi, Senator Hagerty, hi, this is Amy Grant," she said. "I'm standing on stage singing to over a thousand people, and I wanted to speak on behalf of all of us to say that President Trump's budget suggests that funding for PEPFAR should be cut by 50 percent this year. We want you to know that here in Nashville we want to see full funding of PEPFAR so we can stay on track to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic by 2030."
