At the start of Pride Month, Pete Hegseth ordered the Navy to strip Harvey Milk’s name from a ship. A man who served with honor — erased to send a message. This is a deliberate insult to LGBTQ Troops and Americans that weakens our force and shreds the values we fight for.

As is true with universal basic income and universal healthcare, shorter workweeks are also supported by the evidence as being good policy. We should do all three. The only thing preventing them are the fears of those in power who worry about reductions of their ability to coerce and control.

I was a federal prosecutor for 10 years. I worked with ICE agents, and never saw officers hide their faces. Trump's using authoritarian fear tactics to terrorize immigrant communities. They're targeting people trying to enter the country legally, and hiding behind masks because they’re ashamed.
