On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️🌈

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

I wondered how long this would take; mass DNA testing. Whilst knowing one’s susceptibility to a specific disease or disability may seem like good idea; how long before your acceptance for insurance cover or obtaining a job is determined by your DNA profile?

My kids know an American flag when they see one – but they don't yet know all that it represents.

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

Animals treat each other better than this. WTF America?!
DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend.
His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.”
He might never walk again. For showing up.
This is brutality. This is America.
