LGBTQ+ folks deserve to be treated with dignity, equality, and respect. Refusing to do so doesn’t diminish them. It diminishes you.

Went to my little Ohio town’s protest today in the rain with my partner, my queer son, and my disabled daughter. It was so heartening! People of all ages holding homemade signs. So many cars honking in support. Lots of pickups too.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

I should have made more AOCs.

I feel like I can get a good night’s sleep tonight. Nothing like how Cory Booker is going to sleep but his work gives me some peace.

This!

Cory Booker. 👇👇👇

I spent the entire day watching @booker.senate.gov. I have admired him for a long time but never like today. Thank you Senator Booker for your persistence. I hope we can all continue the fight without giving up.

True words that are so timely from someone who has been gone for forty years. I’m not sure I’ll ever call myself a Christian again even though I love and try to follow Jesus as the Christ.

If it is no longer America’s priority to meet the academic needs of every child- including every child with disabilities- then we have failed as a country

The good news is that there *are* people meeting the moment. youtu.be/EJxRtjma7lc

I want to live in a nation where cars are viewed as replaceable but immigrant fathers, trans teenagers, and Ukrainian children aren't.

What we really need is a femininomenon!

When a woman says “please, please, please, don’t embarrass me, motherfucker” you should listen to her! She’s really not fucking around.

I have found that Costco truly saves me a lot of money. Every time I go I end up with a bunch of stuff in my cart that I’m sure I can’t live with out. Then I wander around long enough questioning each item and putting them back until I just abandon my cart.

The cuts to the Department of Education are cruel and illegal. This department provides vital services and funding to schools of all levels in all 50 states that are now in jeopardy.

More of this!

The ridiculous idea that God in heaven looks down upon the political maneuverings on earth and says, I’m on team Rome or team Byzantium or team Russia or team Germany or team USA or team whatever, is not only a silly and ludicrous “theology,” …

I have a trans son, a lesbian daughter, and a daughter with a developmental disability. I will fight for my kids for the rest of my life and will fight against any threat no matter how inconsequential. We have a lot of threats that are very consequential right now!

One of the last amazing things Joe Biden did on his way out the door was cancel my student loans. I have struggled with them for decades and expected to die with that debt. That’s one of the best things that has ever happened to me.

Is now a good time to buy Tesla stock? I know very little about buying/trading stocks but I do know you are supposed to buy low.

I wish more people who are making a scene would get thrown out of this speech to Congress. But then the speech would be over.

I think it's important to remember, with everything extremely fucked up and dumb right now, that at the root of it, fuck fuck fucking fucking fuck.

Some churches send missionaries to the very countries they celebrate pulling US aid for food and medicine from… WWJD

Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy. Let that sink in.

It bears repeating.

I can tell you one thing I am *not* doing tonight: watching @msnbc.com.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Society would be so much better if Paul had said "I do not permit white men to be leaders."
