Human. One who respects herself and others. Who values life in its myriad forms. One who knows I have "privileges" instead of "rights" if they don't apply to everyone. And who has a particular affinity for cats.

I just heard this on the news. Looks like a blatant backing of Trump's dictatorial ambitions.
Looks like he won't stop targeting based on gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or immigration status.
Or counter obvious lies about what we see and hear from this administration.
