I was never an art lover, but when my company sent me to Belgium for work, about 10 years ago, I visited a lot of art galleries. It was truly breathtaking to see famous paintings in real life. After that experience, you never look at art the same way again. So much love and respect.

For the first time, the thought of being deported feels like relief. What kind of country makes you long to leave just to escape the cruelty?

Crying my eyes out today. Feel so lost.

It was never about gender affirming care for minors or sports, it was always about a political project of eradication of trans people from society. This was always just the pretext.
The laws and policies we'll see over the coming years will be downright draconian and will mimic what Russia has done

I've been called a doomer but we're about to see decades of precedent carefully built up be dismantled in the next year. Everything from healthcare access to gender marker changes to non-discrimination laws and bathroom access. SCOTUS just declared open season on us.

Oh perfect, nothing says “fiscal responsibility” like proudly voting for a bill you didn’t read. If only the rest of us could skip the fine print on, say, literally anything that affects our lives. Bravo, Congresswoman. Truly groundbreaking work. 👏📄🤡

I fought cancer. I live with Lynch syndrome. The care I got saved my life.
Now Congress wants to take it away.
This isn’t just policy—it’s life or death.
Healthcare is a human right. We won’t go quietly.

Your granddaughter’s life matters. No child should be denied care because they were born with medical needs. Medicaid saves lives every day. Thank you for sharing her story—this is why we fight. Healthcare must be a right, not a privilege. 💔✊ #ProtectMedicaid #HealthCareIsAHumanRight
