TWITTER: Every goddamn person involved in this shit with ICE needs to do prison time when Dems take back the House and the White House. This is fucking insane — sitting Sen. Alex Padilla (D-California) was physically removed from a presser by Nazi harpy Kristi Noem.

ADVOCATE: Drag queens and drag kings showed up and showed out at the Kennedy Center perf of Les Mis to vex Donald Trump ... who got overwhelmingly BOOED amid chants of “U.S.A.!” — whatever that means:

HUFF POST: Judge orders release of Harvard scientist detained by ICE since FEBRUARY.

SOCIALITE LIFE: Louis V has a new ambassador.

ADVOCATE: Paul Reubens's sister, Abby Rubenfeld, is opening up about her late, great, intensely private brother, whose Pee-wee Herman has to be one of the most inspired characters ever created. Shocking that this could be true:

Obviously, I always knew he was gay. But Paul thought people didn’t know. He thought it would ruin his career.

This is why I get so frustrated reminding people that being gay and okay with it, or being gay and “everybody knows” are not the same things as being out professionally, on the record.

GAYFACE: Check out LGBTQ+ photographer Ash Kolodner's Gayface, a book with 180+ people who are photographed in diptychs that reveal them eyes closed — and eyes wide open.

THEM: Condé Nast's Them is intro'ing Queer Superlatives. Example: Tituss Burgess on “Our First Lady” Cole Escola:

Cole had no other choice but to do what they are doing today. It isn’t brave. It isn’t courageous. It’s honest and absolutely necessary. They were always going to be to us what they are and it was always going to take belief in oneself and sheer delusion, if I’m being honest, to create something as sparkly as what they did with Oh, Mary!

MATTHEW SANDAGER: Artist Matthew Sandager's spicy watercolors in the form of Polaroids are up for grabs at the Cherry Grove Artist Tour this weekend on Fire Island.

EXTRATV: RIP to Ananda Lewis. The dynamic former MTV VJ has died of cancer at 52.

PEOPLE: JoJo Siwa was sad Miley Cyrus gently mocked her.

NYT: The New York Times blanches at the concept of outing someone you've had gay sex with, even when they're a politician who denies they're gay. What fucking century is this?!

INSTAGRAM: Actor Chris Robinson has died at 86. If you're not sure who he is by name alone, he was on General Hospital forever, and during that time he was THAT guy who was NOT a doctor, but who PLAYED ONE ON TV:

Robinson also had a wild personal story, one captured in two shorts by his namesake son (one of nine kids from six women). One documents Dad's belly-up Beanie Baby investments, and one touches on his decision to re-populate Earth, even without a meteor strike:

ERIN IN THE MORNING: “The Moderate Case Against Trans Youth Healthcare Bans.”

WASHINGTON BLADE: A judge has (temporarily) blocked Trump's executive orders that targeted queer and HIV groups.

POLITICO: Gov. Newsom (D-California) is at least saying what all the rest of us have known:

Trump is not all there.

SUBSTACK: Terry Moran, shit-canned by ABC for daring to criticize Stephen Miller and Trump, has found his new space.

LESLIE-LOHMAN MUSEUM OF ART: The L-L has really crashed and burned, content-wise, but this offer to buy exquisite Nan Goldin prints in support of trans rights is too good to pass up.

PEOPLE: Imagine being the sole survivor of a plane crash that killed 200+ others.

BEECHMAN: Kevin Chamberlin is bringing his Finding the Joy to NYC.

COMEDY VILLAGE: Hey Gay Improv! is here! (Yes, a lotta NYC events. Send me some non-NYC events and I'll post them.)

OMG.BLOG!: Sabrina Carpenter says she isn't all about sex, it's the fans who are obsessing over her sexier songs. Meanwhile, her new album was just announced, Man's Best Friend, and she's posing like a dog at a guy's feet, so ... ?!?!

TWITTER: Rep. Greene (R-Georgia) SEETHES that New York Gov. Hochul is SMILING at her. (She wasn't?)

BREAKING: In a completely unhinged moment, Marjorie Taylor Greene snaps at Governor Hochul for smiling. Greene: “Don’t you dare smile.” Hochul: “Don’t question how I look.”

Is something seriously wrong with Marjorie Taylor Greene?
