I'm a recovering professor of political science, openly-gay Minnesotan, and proud father of twins. Not necessarily in that order.

Together, we can ELECT the progress we wish to see in the world.
I'm not sure it's worth the time posting on Blue Sky. It feels *impossible* to grow a following and posts don't seem to be seen as much as other social media apps.

Am I missing something?

Pride this year will hit differently.

Many of us are scared.

Scared of losing rights.
Scared of being erased.

This year, Pride isn’t just a party. It’s a protest. A plea. A promise.

Being an ally means more than waving a flag. It means standing with us when it matters most

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🌈

WOW. What a massive, gigantic, colossal, embarrassing mistake this would be, @democrats.org.

Don't purge the newest generation of smart, progressive leaders. If you do, we very well may see a third party movement to abandon the Democrats.

And I might join it.

Friends, I don’t mean to shock you but the president’s son is not what we’d call smart. 🤣

Ok, so the new Pope Leo XIV has written at least *one* thing with which I agree.

An attempted murderer firebombed the governor's mansion of PA on Passover while the (Jewish) governor and his family slept. He confessed he wanted to kill him with a hammer. No robust statement from POTUS or any GOP official.

Don't "...but both sides" me ever again. Ever.
