Here’s what parenting can look like.

When I told my dad I was trans, my dad’s response was, β€œOh! I can send you jewelry now!” (He was retired and made jewelry as a hobby).

Two days latter, I had a letter in the mail addressed to Joelle, the first time β€œJoelle” ever got mail, with a necklace in it. Later he made me this one. He told me, β€œI hope I got the colors right, I looked it up online.”

You don’t have to mourn a child transitioning. You can be the first to do so many affirming things.

These racist money hoarding fascists want to destroy America.

Their billions are no match for our votes.

Vote Blue to stop the oligarchy.

@GottaLaff I'll settle for a small majority with a willingness to eliminate the filibuster.

HOLY HELL. No political candidate has hit Trump this hard, ever.

This is how you win elections.

March for Our Lives, the youth-led advocacy organization committed to ending gun violence, has made its first-ever political endorsement and announced their support for Vice President Harris.

Men told the last woman running for president to smile more but they’re saying the woman running for president now smiles too much. Maybe it’s never been about the smile

Wajahat Ali on the stark contrast between Biden's speech last evening and Trump's at the RNC:

"If there ever was an argument to end the dangerous 'both sides'' false equivalence, it was surely tonight. Just compare the speeches of both men. Put the transcripts side by side. Look at the words, the tone, the substance, and the messages of the speeches. There’s no 'both sides.'"

🚨 #MISSOURI: After a failed bill to CHARGE WOMEN WHO HAVE ABORTIONS WITH MURDER, Republicans have a bill to DENY MEDICAID COVERAGE FOR LIFE to any woman who's ever had one. Pregnant women CAN'T GET DIVORCED there either.

It saddens me that the future direction of this country is dependent on the narrow group of people who don’t see the clear choice we have.

On one side we truly have The Deplorables who want to send us back to the 1950s except with the richest 1% not paying 1950s taxes. Minorities losing rights. Women losing rights. Environment being destroyed. Destroy Social Security. Cold War. Christian values in the bad sense.

On the other side, we have people trying to have universal healthcare, multicultural society, science-based policy, democracy, equality. Social programs.

And it all hinges on people who can’t decide between these two because Biden was 3 years older, or Israel is an ally, or Kamala laughs or was a prosecutor once, or immigration is out of control even though it’s not actually any different than historical average.

Biden would have to shoot a baby in the face, burn down a thousand orphanages, and nuke England for me to start to consider voting for Trump. Same goes for Harris. #MAGA

#MastodonForHarris now has its own QR code. If we share it widely, we can make mobile giving easier.

Even if Trump says he won't ban abortion pills and he refuses even to promise that. He'll hire fundie goons who regulate them out of existence. project2025istheocracy.substac

She's doing it. "The same Black voters who split 70% for Biden to 23% for Trump in previous polling now break 78% for Harris to 15% for Trump." πŸ‘πŸΏ

Future president Kamala Harris did not come to play games. If this holds, and Black folk check and re-check their voter registration every month, then Harris wins.

CNN/SSRS polling still makes the same mistake that everyone makes about US elections: They report on the category "people of color,"πŸ€¦πŸΏβ€β™‚οΈ

What color? Is it Black?

Think you’re registered to vote? Think again. With all this purge’n going on, you could be x’d out and not know it. So, check online with your Sec of State or call your County Board of Elections. Then register your girlfriend, your wife, and your mailman.

Then contact the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, League of Women Voters, Rock the Vote or Black Voters Matter, and commit to a couple of days at your local registration drive. In Florida, it may mean you’ll get arrested. I’ll send a file in a cake.

If you can imagine, a rapist and felon called the Vice President of the United States β€œreal garbage.”

I can only imagine this man's lawyer rubbing his hands together, and laughing maniacally:
