My wife: "Were they unaware of Republicans before this?"

Honored to serve as Communications Task Force Co-Chair for the Democratic Women's Caucus.

I look forward to building on the successes achieved last Congress and playing a leading role in opposing legislation that seeks to undermine women's rights.

Scientists have a key role to play in saving what can still be saved, and I believe scientists should be speaking out and getting into good trouble much more than we are.

Always pay attention to where people's eyes dart when they are talking to you. If their eyes go up and to the right it could mean there is a cool bird behind you over your left shoulder.

This is it—plain & simple. No more fossil fuel infrastructure & it’s time to earnestly transition away from fossil fuel equipment & heating. Electrify your heating & cooling. It’s cheaper & more efficient. Switch to EVs. There are lots more than Tesla.

One of the biggest propaganda wins for white supremacists was teaching kids (and everyone else) that racism is a unique and special evil, one that can only be done by evil racists or faceless passionless "systems."

It's more comfortable to think of it as a force of nature or a thing only done by Bad Guys than something almost all of us contribute to and need to be conscious of.

honestly, "so gay its illegal in russia" should be used as a selling point

(though I feel the bar for getting banned there might be very low these days)

/3 It is a “free speech culture” that irrationally lionizes the Amy Waxes of the world while incoherently policing and seeking to deter, limit, and tone-police people responding to her.
I dissent from it.

The World Disney Resort in Florida will host the Out & Equal summit in 2024, which is said to be the largest LGBTQ+ conference in the world, with over 5000 expected attendance. The conference comes after DeSantis declared victory over Disney in February. The event brings together executives, human resource professionals, and experts in diversity, equity, and inclusion to promote equality

What’s happening in Uganda with criminalization of even *being* LGBT, with death penalties written into law for some people, should and must shock the world into action.

Hey, you know those Tiny Free Pantries that people put up to help distribute food to those in need? My mom was telling me that she had been frustrated/confused by some of the items that weren't being taken.

She started paying attention to what items lingered. For example, dried beans. No one wanted them. She took them home, added canned tomatoes, a package of seasoning, etc, and put the ingredients in a zip-top bag with a instructions to make chili. Someone snagged it immediately!

This is an obvious reminder that there are MORE THAN two genders because gender is obviously a social construct.

Gender is NOT the same as sex.

Also, trans people, non-binary people and intersex people are always valid, awesome, beautiful and handsome people.

Seriously.

You know what I think the South needs? A "Drag In". Just make it a trend that EVERY live performance is done in drag. Plays. Comedy shows. Operas. Symphonies. Concerts. All of them. Dare them to arrest you. Dare them to actually stand up in a court of law and defend how a man in a ball gown playing a saxophone who is covered from neck to ankle is going to harm children. Refuse to perform in any venue who won't allow you to perform in whatever clothing you choose to wear. Make them hurt.

I would like to stop living in interesting times
