Been binging Star Trek (again), and am reminded of its important messages through the decades of hope and strength through diversity. That the future CAN be better if we make good choices. (and also, that Jeri Ryan is a badass)

Transgender persons are 2.5x more likely than cisgendered persons to become a victim of violence, according to federal statistics. bjs.ojp.gov/library/publ... Human rights organizations have the rate even higher. Brushing these kids aside will put more people at risk. Cruelty is the point.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
