Three names for today's roll call.
Essex Hemphill hand-stapled his first poetry collection at 26 and distributed it from a milk crate at DC community events. Died at 38. The literature was more honest for him.
Del Martin co-founded America's first lesbian rights organization in 1955 and married her partner of 53 years at age 87 on the day the California Supreme Court ruling came down. Died 59 days later. The marriage stood.
Barbara Gittings walked into the APA's own conference, ran their Gay Task Force booth, and by 1973 had the homosexuality diagnosis removed from the diagnostic manual. Not erased. Corrected.
Three people who made the world deal with the actual thing. https://twp.ai/4hpkQN #QueerHistory #LGBTQ #QueerHeroes #EssexHemphill #DelMartin #BarbaraGittings #DailyGathering #ThistleAndMoss #QueerMedia #ProgressiveMedia

Before the Strait of Hormuz closed, fossil fuel companies donated heavily to put him back in office. They've been paid back: the Iran war's fuel spike handed big oil an extra $30 million in profit every single hour. Meanwhile China — which began investing in renewables 20 years ago — now manufactures 80–90% of the world's solar panels and wind turbines, and installs more capacity per year than the rest of the world combined. The US-China rivalry didn't just cost diplomacy. It cost the climate. We handed the clean energy stack to Beijing one tariff and one war at a time. Today's Daily Gathering covers the geopolitical machinery that turned climate stabilization into a casualty. https://twp.ai/4hpkR2 #ClimateJustice #ClimateAction #GreenEnergy #RenewableEnergy #IranWar #ProgressiveMedia #DailyGathering #Environment #Politics #ThistleAndMoss

Lauren Boebert went on camera, deadnamed Rep. Sarah McBride twice, and accused her of having photos of women removed from a Capitol bathroom. McBride's response landed in under an hour: "This is false. But Boebert was the one who harassed a woman in the restroom thinking she was me — only the member was not me. Maybe it was Boebert who ripped the photos down because she couldn't tell if one of them might be trans?" Month five of McBride's first term. She has passed her first bill. Not one Republican voted against it. She is here to legislate. They are here to perform. Today's Daily Gathering covers the full story — and why none of it is actually about bathrooms. https://twp.ai/4hpkQu #TransRights #LGBTQ #SarahMcBride #QueerPolitics #Resist #TransVisibility #DailyGathering #QueerMedia #ProgressiveMedia #ThistleAndMoss

59%. Six in ten Americans said he cannot lead. 67% say he doesn't carefully consider important decisions. 1 in 3 of his own Republican base now has doubts. The White House physician keeps certifying "excellent." The president keeps making unscheduled Saturday "dental appointments." The machinery of American power is running with no reliable mind at the wheel — and the people running it have decided you don't need to know that. Today's Daily Gathering names what's happening. Because the most dangerous position right now is pretending you don't see it. https://twp.ai/4hpkQm #Politics #Trump #Resistance #Democracy #DailyGathering #NewsAnalysis #ProgressiveMedia #QueerMedia #LGBTQ #ThistleAndMoss
