Pride Month is a time to honor visibility and storytelling, so I wanted to share a few pieces of LGBTQ+ media that have stuck with me over the years. What are your go-to picks? Drop them in the comments. I’d love to hear what inspires you!

Trump’s unauthorized strike on Iran is unconstitutional and a reckless abuse of power. His impulsive decisions will have serious implications for the U.S. for the foreseeable future. buff.ly/GLOjydZ

Patients shouldn’t have to fight their insurance companies to get the care they need. Streamlining prior authorization is a step in the right direction, but we need to keep pushing to prioritize patients over profits. buff.ly/kvUlSYb

By slashing the DOJ team that holds gun dealers accountable, Trump is dismantling the safeguards that keep dangerous weapons out of the wrong hands. This isn’t leadership, it’s reckless endangerment. buff.ly/B2g368r

Harvard’s research is saving lives — from cancer breakthroughs to mental health and infectious diseases. Trump’s petty decision to cut off funding puts politics ahead of public health. We can’t afford this recklessness. buff.ly/nX5tudp

From New York to Hungary, millions of people are showing up to Pride events and showing authoritarian leaders like Donald Trump and Viktor Orban that they can not divide us.

The Department of Justice should be a guardian of civil rights, not a tool for exclusion. Revoking citizenship threatens the very foundation of who we are as a nation. We can’t allow this. buff.ly/GhBDHoB

The Big Bad Ugly Bill will put our country $3 trillion in debt, strip health care from 15 million people, and take away food from vulnerable communities. What a disaster. I’ll be voting no.

The White House wants to gut the only federal after-school program. For many students, that’s where they find meals, mentorship, and a shot at success. We need to expand opportunity, not erase it. buff.ly/nYKzFFd

As a military veteran and public servant, Harvey Milk stood for courage, service, and equality. Removing his name from a Navy ship is an attempt to erase progress. We owe it to future generations to protect LGBTQ+ history, not bury it. buff.ly/FC1eINZ

No one should live in fear for simply existing in their community. Immigration policy should reflect our values—dignity, safety, and belonging. We must end the climate of fear in L.A. and beyond. buff.ly/C0Ke0Tq

The Big, Ugly Bill passed the House today. This legislation will put the lives of millions of Americans at risk, and increase the national debt by trillions of dollars. But make no mistake, we will press on.

When rural hospitals close, it’s not just buildings shutting down, it’s access to care disappearing for millions. Medicaid keeps the lights on, the doors open, and our communities cared for. Republican cuts are pushing that care even further out of reach. buff.ly/vf9F7bn

Planned Parenthood is a lifeline, especially in areas where care is already scarce. Now, Republicans are slashing funding and putting lives at risk. I stand with patients and providers who depend on this vital resource. buff.ly/tdxPt9J

Capping loans for graduate students won’t make education cheaper, it’ll just make it harder for everyone who isn’t rich to earn advanced degrees. We should be expanding opportunity, not slamming doors shut. buff.ly/iTK8BNB

A 25-year high in measles cases shows exactly what happens when anti-vaccine rhetoric takes hold. Vaccines save lives. We can't let disinformation undo decades of progress. buff.ly/xKXnrkO

Trump’s new tariff threats could cause real harm to communities like the Inland Empire. Our small businesses, ports, and families can’t weather another trade war. We need trade policies that uplift workers and strengthen our economy, not sabotage it. buff.ly/SHW4Qyn

Climate change is the greatest global challenge of our time. Gutting the State Department’s climate team is a step backward, and future generations will pay the price. buff.ly/wyoJN7J
