As long as any person taking up space and being truly themselves doesn’t harm me or others I’m 1000% in favour. Just like my kids I would rather them disappoint me and choose themselves every day. Be yourselves and take up your sacred space every day.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

A different, positive take on the disclosure of the hero’s religious identity: it demonstrates to anxious Jews in the world that the hate which they face they do not face alone, and that allies can come from places thought by some to be unlikely.

I’ll assign responsibility: The surge of death that has resulted from slashing global aid lays squarely at the feet of Trump and Musk — and the cowardly Republicans in Congress who were afraid to stand up to them.

LONG RAMBLING EMOTIONAL THREAD:
It's World AIDS Day. Since the Administration has decided to keep it quiet, I'd like to share my introduction to AIDS.
I grew up in Seattle. My mom remarried a man who had a brother who was a King County Sheriff's Deputy. His name was Terry and he was gay. 1/x

Since so many folks—including "legal experts"—insist on claiming that so many others (judges, notaries, their drinking buddies) may officially administer the oath of office to a Rep.-elect, here's a flow chart to help you understand if you, yourself may swear in someone newly elected to the House:

I ordered a lamb salad Tuesday for lunch cause my clothes were feeling a bit tight. Got a side of food poisoning and overshot my weight loss goal. -8 pounds in 3 days and I’m hydrating. Most violently I’ll ever in my life so not recommended. Enjoyed the real travertine tiles I chose up close.

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

So many people have Trump wrong. What he wants is not Yeltsin's Russia, Orban's Hungary or Hitler's Germany. I've studied him for a decade and can tell you that if his dreams come true, America will most resemble the Hermit Kingdom—North Korea—with Trump as Kim Jong-un and the rest of us in poverty.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.
The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.
