#NationalComingOutDay
is for this smily kid who knew at 9 he was different, didn’t kiss a boy till 21, and didn’t tell anyone till he was 28. Little Adam would never believe how much pride he could have…so thankful for my queer identity, and wouldn’t exchange it for anything. 🌈
Hear me out: one-on-one convos like this where the two potential leaders of our country talk policy and show their relatability are much more valuable to the average voter than any interview a reporter will do between now and November.
After my Dad passed, Social Security gave my family the chance to live with dignity.
@KamalaHarris
and I will protect Social Security and the programs that stop people from falling through the cracks.
Something *maddening* about GenZ is their inability to grapple with the reality of politics. They’re so black and white they can’t fathom that voting is like riding a train: you take the one that goes *closest* to your destination. Civil rights leaders have known this for decades
In 2020, I voted for Biden. Since then, my state banned gender-affirming care for minors, censored LGBTQ studies, and made it a criminal misdemeanor for me to use the women’s restroom at my college.
We’re done hearing “vote harder.” It’s time to organize:
I have decided moving forward my business will no longer photograph cisgender or Christian weddings. SCOTUS said I was allowed to discriminate based on my creative expression and religious beliefs, and the Church of Butt Sex believes that being straight is an abomination.
THIS is the story of yesterday’s shooting, not the gender of the attacker.
The shooter was allowed to legally purchase firearms despite attempted family intervention and medical supervision for emotional disorder.
TN refused to take up red flag law legislation last year.
Meanwhile at the DNC, sociopathic alt-right blogger Matt Walsh snuck in wearing a ridiculous Charles Manson-ass PartyCity “disguise” to film for his next Twitter rant. Such a fucking weirdo.
Some of you seem not to have noticed what year it is which is *completely* understandable considering the exhausting onslaught of human existence since about 2016.
If there’s a section of Kamala’s speech last night that you personally disagreed with, then it was probably written for someone else whose vote she ALSO needs…welcome to coalition building 101! 🤗💙
I had the biggest secret crush on him during his American Idol season when I was also closeted, and it’s so heartwarming to see him out, proud, and living his best damn life now 🥹
Imagine him as the Veep candidate being able to go on Univision and do a town hall entirely in Spanish with Latino swing voters in Arizona, Nevada, or Texas. 👀
Turning 30 during the pandemic radicalized me. I refuse to waste my precious time on anything and anyone that doesn’t bring me joy, and I will be blunt about it.
Todrick making arguments like we owe him and that show support simply for being queer when there are millions of hard-working queer folks doing actual good every day without asking for money or fame. Nobody owes you anything.
No, we don't bend over backwards to keep bigots happy. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence have been an integral part of Pride since its early days, and their drag is a form of protest *specifically* to call attention to gender norms and religious hypocrisy. Do better y'all.
Biden is imperfect, but he’s running against an actual wannabe dictator. The two sides are *nothing* alike unless your only measure of success is getting *everything* you want with instant gratification. We can’t build new train stations overnight. Democracy takes constant work.
You are not rubber-stamping everything Biden says or does by voting for him in November; you’re actively participating in the selection of a train that moves closer to the arc of change you want to see. Trump will not take you there, nor will a protest/3rd party vote.
Here’s the thing about Harris pushing back against the hecklers. She gave them TWO strikes and even verbally acknowledged their right to protest. But by the third interruption she was done. It was giving “don’t make me pull this car over,” and it’s the right balance imo. 💁🏻♂️
THIS. There are fringe people on the far left and the far right who actually want a TikTok ban for political reasons, but the 95% common sense consensus on the Hill is forcing a sale *just* like they did with Grindr in 2020. Nobody wants to take away your silly little dances.
In the latest article about Kamala Harris’ staff turnover in the Washington Post, former staffers complain that she expects her team to be just as prepared as she is, and to be able to explain everything they put in her briefings and schedule.
NEW:
@CBSNews
has learned the Red Cross is declaring a national blood crisis for the first time and tomorrow the organization will ask people to donate immediately.
11 secret service agents, Pence’s press secretary, and now Ivanka’s personal assistant?
Yesterday Trump’s team called their re-election campaign “the Death Star,” and today COVID said “bitch, you thought.”
OMG so their endorsement came at the same time as everyone else at the beginning of the week, but they delayed the announcement for maximum exposure heading into the weekend news cycle with the Olympics. Dems are playing a great offense, no wonder the GOP is so scared of her 😂
Earlier this week, Michelle and I called our friend
@KamalaHarris
. We told her we think she’ll make a fantastic President of the United States, and that she has our full support. At this critical moment for our country, we’re going to do everything we can to make sure she wins in
Listen, a queer kid is gonna be queer no matter what parents, schools, and governments try to ban. I was literally jerking off to the cross section of a guy’s junk in my biology textbook in middle school before I found online porn.
I finally gave myself permission to delete his texts and remove the last reminders of him. I’ve earned my joy, and I won’t let toxic people from the past weigh me down. 💛💛
A former member of Alabama Governor Kay Ivey’s staff, Attorney Chase Tristian Espy, has been sentenced to 8 years for unlawful contact with a minor & possession of over 70 videos/photos of Child Sx Abuse Material.
@telushk
Legit was mortified when
@SouthwestAir
said they were now using EPA-approved, hospital grade disinfectant in the cabin now (instead of just in the lavatories) to replace basic interior cleaner. Like, I get sick on almost every flight...why was this not common practice before?
So we’re all in agreement that having an American flag emoji in your Grindr bio is just signaling you’re a Republican, right? I’m not imagining things?
After 10 years in the State House, I’ve taken the lessons that my parents taught me & reinforced them in my work as a legislator: to take responsibility, commit to service, be courageous, & push for fairness.
I’m ready to take these values to lead the Commonwealth.
