Dear Republicans, If you don’t like a trans woman being featured on a can of Bud Light, don’t drink Bud Light. If an M&M in sneakers offends you, don’t eat M&Ms. If Cracker Jill hurts your feelings, don’t eat that stuff either. If you don’t like the fact that Target sells LGBTQ+ merchandise, don’t shop there. And if Amanda Gorman’s famous poem, “The Hill We Climb” upsets you, then don’t read it. The point is that no one is forcing you to do any of that shit. But YOU don’t get to decide if the rest of us can.

#TXLege Action Alert! SB 14 will be back on the house floor on Friday, May 5. We need Texans back at the Capitol to show legislators that we are not backing down, and we refuse to be silenced. RSVP: bit.ly/nosb14 #lgbtq #lgbtqrights #transtexas #protecttranskids

I'm not mincing my words anymore. The legislative assault on transgender people is a genocide against us. It seeks to remove us from public life, remove all legal protections, remove our trans children from parents, remove their medically necessary care. It will kill people.

According to Lakota social etiquette, simply listening (and not interrupting) is the greatest form of respect — that we can ever hope to bestow. – at Redondo Beach, CA

Quit cutting off the rest of his quote @elonmusk.

The fact that Ted Cruz, Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro, and Paul Gosar recruited 100 Republican members of Congress to overthrow the government on January 6th — calling their mission “The Green Bay Sweep” — should be a much bigger story, IMHO.

Stephen Colbert should have Al Franken on and let Al vent more and more. We need more Al Franken.

And it begins... Texas has filed a bill that would make "consenting to gender affirming care" child abuse with prison sentences for parents. HB672 will mean a mass rounding up of trans kids if passed. It is the most horrifying piece of anti-trans legislation I've ever seen.

Republicans redistricted the northern part of Arizona to diminish the Indigenous vote. And Native communities still went to the polls in record numbers. Some making the 200 mile round trip just to vote. It’s time to bring polling sites to the reservation — agree? – at Los Angeles, CA

Why is this civilian still drawing a pension? Mike Flynn abdicated his sacred oath to uphold and defend the constitution by displaying fealty to Trump. He should be stripped of all prior rank and court martialed to the fullest extent of the uniform code of military Justice. – at Los Angeles, CA

Democrats kicked ass in the mid terms, even with global inflation. Imagine just how good we could do if republicans didn’t gerrymander every state in the south. – at Texas, USA

Where is the strategy to move Democrats in Texas to the next level? Where is the strategy to increase democratic turnout in Texas? Where is the plan to increase voter registration that actually results in votes? Now is the time, not 18 mos from now. #texasdemocrats
