President Donald Trump delivered his first Memorial Day message of his second term, but the message went further than praising America's fallen soldiers as “great, great warriors,” when he decried “the scum that spent the last four years trying to destroy our country” and “USA hating judges who suffer from an ideology that is sick.” Trump delivered a more typical and somber Memorial Day Address at the Arlington National Cemetery on Monday and laid the traditional wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. There, he paid tribute to veterans “who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation,” and "given their last breaths to each and every one of us that we might live safe, and breathe free.” The president highlighted several service members and their gold star families, paying tribute to their sacrifices as he said “Their valor gave us the freest, greatest and most noble republic ever to exist on the face of the Earth." But his tune changed a bit, adding “A republic that I am fixing after a long and hard four years, that was a hard four years we went through. Who would let that happen? People pouring through our borders unchecked, people doing

Finding ways to connect and hold onto queer joy is tricky in 2025, and while you may think another app is the last thing you need to accomplish this, J. Zakira Wise thinks technology may be the key to bringing LGBTQ+ people together. On May 14, Wise launched MyPride, a LGBTQ+ community-driven app built by and for queer people to connect people to mutual aid, local events, and “meaningful social connection during Pride Month and beyond.” Think Bluesky, but with ways to connect you to events and organizations that matter to queer people. The combination of giving birth to her first child and the changing political landscape that has particularly impacted queer youth, led Wise to create MyPride, a LGBTQ+ community-driven app built by and for queer people to connect people to mutual aid, local events, and meaningful social connection, not just during Pride Month, but all year round. “Given the current political climate, I wanted to create a digital community space for people to share queer joy, news, resources, and events,” Wise tells PRIDE. “As the major platforms roll back protections for the LGBTQ+ community, it feels more important than ever to have a social space built by us

If you started your Saturday morning by checking your activity on X, the social network formerly known as Twitter, you got a surprise: the site was down for many thousands of users. There were more than 26,000 incidents of people reporting issues with the social media platform as of about 9:30 a.m. ET, according to Downdetector.com, which tracks outages by collating status reports from a number of sources. Reports began coming in to the outage tracking site regarding X at about 8:21 a.m. Most users reporting issues were using the X app (68%), with 24% using the X website, according to Downdetector. Among the major cities reporting outages and problems were Boston, New York, Detroit, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Dallas and Miami, according to Downdetector. By about 11 a.m. ET, service had been restored for many, but several thousand still reported being offline to Downdetector. The social network had been hit with an outage earlier in the week on Thursday, May 22. Two months ago, X suffered multiple service outages on March 10 due to what Elon Musk, who purchased Twitter in 2022, called a "massive cyberattack" that he said possibly originated from Ukraine. Online mavens moved to other networks

Columbia University held its graduation ceremony this week. When acting school president Claire Shipman addressed the crowd, she was met with a loud chorus of boos and “Free Mahmoud!” chants. “Good morning, Class of 2025. I know that many of you feel some amount of frustration with me, and I know you feel it with the administration,” she told the students. Shipman’s attempt to separate the two entities was met with louder boos, and why wouldn’t it be? Since Columbia students erected a Gaza Solidarity Encampment last spring, the school has worked to stifle pro-Palestinian activism on campus. Just days before Mahmoud Khalil was kidnapped and sent to a detention center in Louisiana, Columbia unveiled a new ICE protocol and reversed the school’s previous status as a “sanctuary campus,” allowing federal agents onto campus in certain situations. Around the same time as Khalil’s arrest, the Trump administration sent the school an open letter implying that the president might rethink his decision to cut $400 million in (congressionally approved) federal grants to Columbia if it stepped up its crackdown on Gaza protesters. “We expect your immediate compliance,” read the letter. A short time later, Columbia was announcing a new round of suspensions, expulsions, and temporary degree revocations
