Unapologetically proud liberal, fiercely fighting for equal rights for LGBTQIA+ and all human rights; underestimated and overdelivering on attitude.

…but the true bell of liberty, she does not mute easily. Long may she ring. Her echoes we’ll amplify marching ‘til morning light all genders side by side ‘til freedom rings.

I'm a Wikipedia junkie and have been making automatic monthly donations for years. Please donate because Elon doesn't want you to, and f*ck Elon.
Wikipedia is useful. Musk and other power-hungry, wealthy people want to enclose it to limit the free and useful information it provides. Donate to help keep it going.
Elon Musk does not want you to donate to Wikipedia, which is itself a good reason to donate, but the much better reason is that it's Wikipedia. Just donated again last night.

We will never forget; they will not retell the story - they are not the victors, they and all who went along with the lies are the losers and time will tell and history will not be kind.
I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

According to MAGA, ANYTHING they do is good for them but don’t you dare do as they do because they will fail to see into the mirror of utter hypocrisy of their own making.
So, according to MAGA - Joe Biden pardoning his convicted felon son is disqualifying, but Donald Trump BEING a convicted felon is not?
Do I have that about right?

If your newspaper didn’t have the fortitude to endorse against a twice impeached, criminally convicted, democracy imperiling, reality show charlatan then please spare us your twelve different takes on why we should all be disappointed in Joe Biden.

North Carolina will be sued.
The North Carolina General Assembly’s GOP supermajority just approved a hugely corrupt power grab, seizing authority from the governor and the courts to prevent any meaningful check on legislative abuses. Authoritarian stuff. A very dark day for democracy in NC. amp.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

Remember: in the gospels, Jesus got the most upset with those who use religion as a tool of oppression and self serving power.
You don't see Jesus get upset with anyone for showing too much forgiveness, giving too much mercy, having too much generosity or loving others too much.

@marcelias.bsky.social on the media & business kissing the Trump ring: "The moment you do that, number one, you give up something very important about your integrity. But the second thing is you show Trump that he that that he has you. And once he's got you, you're not safer. You're more at risk."

A month ago I was so incredibly pumped and hopeful for our country. The night when the lights went out on that hope, I clutched at the thought that she could still pull it off. Dark days ahead but I see a light… that light is us. Let’s burn bright together.
Do you remember how hopeful we were a month ago? I do.💙

Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again
Learn to live so free

The book of love will open up and let us in

Three races left to call. Democrats lead in two and could certainly win the third. But if everything stays as is, the “RECORD WIN” Trump says he just scored will in fact leave him able to lose only the following number of GOP votes on any bill: 2.
Not 20.
2.

I ask the people in power, with large platforms and public profiles: For the last few years, you have been saying what everyday Americans need to do. With Trump coming:
Isn't it your time to stand up?
Isn't it your time to show some heroism?
Isn't it your time to do what you expected from others?
