Our first amendment rights under unprecedented assault. The contrast couldn't be starker-while ABC News caves to political pressure by canceling Jimmy Kimmel, Trump and his allies freely spread dangerous rhetoric that incites violence.

Forward Together: Redirecting Our Media Diet From Doom Scrolling Addict to Informed by Independent Media

What are you reading this Sunday? I'm reading @cvindependent.bsky.social (by @jboegle.bsky.social) & the @voiceofsandiego.org. Both prioritize in-depth local reporting over sensationalism. Check out why I choose them over big media outlets open.substack.com/pub/darrellt...

Publications I am familiar with and enjoy, like the @cvindependent.bsky.social, the @voiceofsandiego.org (my current hometown news source) and the Reno News & Review (owned by the same great human who owns the CVI @jboegle.bsky.social) exemplify this approach.

I just dropped my 2nd post in my blog series. Today's post focuses on the legacy of John Lewis and the importance of civil disobedience for both effecting societal change and in moving us away from our political anxiety.

Tonight, I had the great privilege to join with friends and community leaders to support the brilliant, talented and courageous Congresswoman Sarah @mcbride.house.gov to support her re-election as the first and only transgender member of the US Congress.

I’m proud to stand with women around the world working toward a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive. Together we can forge gender equality. Collectively for #IWD2025 we can all #AccelerateAction.

Small actions. Today I stopped supporting companies that backed off from DEI programming & replaced everything I normally buy from Amazon, Target, Lowe’s and Brown-Forman’s with companies that continue to lead well like Costco, Thrive Market, Grove and Sprouts Farmers Market.

To my transgender and nonbinary friends, I see you, I stand with you, I have shoulders to lean on if you need them and I will fight for you as we need to. An exec order by a bully in the White House does not and cannot remove your existence. It cannot reduce you or diminish how wonderful you are. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

Today, we recognize and commemorate Dr. MLK Jr.’s leadership and legacy in advancing a more equitable and just society. And, while we face a rise of authoritarian power in our nation today, we recommit ourselves to our individual and organizational commitments to social justice.

New year, new specs! 👓🤓

Wishing everyone a very sweet and Merry Christmas!

Every LGBTQ+ youth deserves to grow up in a world where they are safe, supported, & loved. As one of @eqca.bsky.social board members, I’m committed to making that a reality & you can help too! A gift today can make a real difference in protecting the next generation» bit.ly/donate-eqca
