In a time where LGBTQ+ lives and rights are under attack I am so grateful for a weekend of dreaming about our collective futures with @hrc.org.
Here’s to continuing to help bend the arc of the moral universe. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

Not only are Trump and Hegseth disrespecting the years of service and sacrifice with firings like these, they are also actively harming our national defense.
They’re f*cking babies who hate when facts and accurate reports disagree with their fantasy worlds. #VetsAgainstTrump

Pride shows us what joyful resistance can look like.
Let’s continue the legacy of the first Pride & fight back against oppression with everything we have within us!
13 years of celebration & resistance for me & I wouldn’t trade any of it away to be back in a closet! ✊🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🥳

This is despicable but par for the course for a lawless wannabe dictator like Trump.
But let’s remember Trump does not get to dictate how we improve our own community safety while reforming MPD and holding officers accountable.
It’s up to us to move forward.

This is what dictators do. It is so far beyond normal. This MAGA Trump regime is an existential threat to democracy, the rule of law, and our freedoms. This is fascism plain and simple.

The DOJ’s continued push to enshrine discrimination against qualified, honorably serving transgender soldiers is an affront to the values and ideals our military upholds.
Trump’s military trans ban has no basis in reality, it will harm military readiness, and is just hateful.

The Trump regime is fascist and they are openly defying our constitution and the courts. If they get away with this they will push further and we the people will lose our rights at their whim. We must all fight back and condemn this lawlessness! #VetsAgainstTrump

Wore my favorite shirt to DAV MN’s veterans on the hill day. The Governor and Rep. Greenman gave a helluva speech supporting our veterans!
