Jesse Jackson was an early political ally for the LGBTQ. He did a lot of AIDS activism. He was the first major U.S. presidential candidate to include LGBTQ+ rights in his platform (candidate for 1984, 1988 primaries), anti-discrimination laws, and openly gay service members.
Can’t wait for the Benghazi 2.0 hearings to happen over abandoning US Officials and Diplomats across the Middle East because a child rapist and money launderer is being blackmailed to start a war on behalf of Benjamin Netanyahu.
He wants to give “cover,” to a pedophile.
Useless.
The fact that Kristi Noem's relentless plastic surgery couldn't save her job, even in the MAGAverse, signals that feminism has achieved its goals.
This times a million
No. One. Gets. A. Nazi. Tattoo. By. Accident.
Wait, *another* one?
"You can only be decent because we are horrible" is a very, very popular line of thinking among horrible people.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.
We should abolish the United States Senate. It serves no purpose.
All red states who vote for predators.
Miss me with the performative concern for the children.
On NJ Transit on the way home and the train just died.
Just another day/reminder of how “the richest and most powerful nation in the world” cannot do mass transit.
We can afford a war and build concentration camps, but not mass transit.

I’ve never voted for a Republican and I’m proud of it.
The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.
"The most effective consumer boycotts in history share two qualities: they are narrow and they are easy," writes @rutgerbregman.com
Republicans. Are. Monsters.
Republicans are monsters.
This is how you write a goddamn headline.
It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.
He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
