Friendly reminder that the people behind the Jesus commercials fund super PACS that literally lobby for everything that’s the antithesis of what’s shown in that spot. Eg: pro deportation, anti vaxxer, pro higher healthcare costs, etc etc etc #plannerbowl

Loving your neighbor means loving and accepting them. People living their lives to the best they can who are not hurting anyone else deserve freedom, respect, and kindness. Don't use religion to justify your unfortunate life of being an a-hole.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

I can see a million videos of Musk throwing a nazi salute, but youtube dinged me for a short clip of Christoph Waltz saying, "It's a bingo" from Inglourious Basterds, and calling it Hate Speech. What a world.

This site makes it SUPER easy to call. I was anxious about calling my rep because of how much I disagree with his policies, but felt so energized after speaking to his contact. This is a great first step to fighting for your rights and freedoms and stopping the evils taking place.

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban. Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.

It baffles me that there are Holocaust deniers. Even more so than it baffles me that there are people who believe in a flat earth. With so much evidence of the Holocaust, I don't understand how one can think it didn't happen.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Everyone will die. Sooner or later. All of us. And everyone after us. Why you wouldn’t do your best to leave a positive impact while you were here is wild to me. You get the one shot. And that’s it. Digging into hate and intentionally contributing to the suffering of others…I don’t get it.
