As a millennial, why did they push us to wear ankle socks that never protected my ankles? The sensory torture of ankle socks dipping below the show heel.
And why were our pants inseams so long they dragged and got torn up and wet?
Why were some clothes so baggy they’d fall off?

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".

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.
