Matthew would have been 49 years old.

God bless Matthew, and every LGBTQ person living in America today (like me and my husband) and facing the HATE.

LGBTQ STRONG! 🌈

There Is Something Seriously Wrong With These People….

NEW: Turning Point USA announced they're doing their own concert for Super Bowl Halftime, using "fully Christian, American" performers. Now seems like a good time to remind them that Bad Bunny is both fully Christian and fully American.

People should read the OP and comments. Most of us are so naive about who is being targeted (and this doesn’t even include citizens being caught up in this mess!).

You mean like β€œit was clear” in the Mormon church shooting? It was not!!! Early assumptions were wrong. Suspicions make sense. I feel them too. Let’s wait for facts.

We obviously don’t know what happened. We need to get facts before pointing fingers. I hope the judge and her family survive. The scars will be more than physical. The loss and trauma will be immense.

The man who said he was going to end all wars is now saying that we should have fought all those wars harder. Including the one we fought the entire four years of his first administration. The one that he negotiated an end to with the Taliban and then blamed his successor for honoring his plan.

We are in the endgame now. A final battle for the soul of our Republic.

Whether democracy survives or we succumb to the long winter of authoritarianism, is up to us.

Choose your fighters wisely.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?

We need to message how people in essential roles can take part. Fire fighters. Health care workers. Etc. This won’t work if we say let people die because nobody should work in an ER during a general strike. Americans don’t know how to do this.

I’m old and there has never been a more radical movement than the current MAGA movement. They are overturning laws and norms. That’s not conservative. It’s extremist radical change.

Nobody I’ve talked to wants hatred of Republicans. We want leaders to fight back. In self defense. Because if Republicans are breaking laws and norms to destroy law and order then we can’t stop them by following the rules.

Anyone who still believes we live in a democracy is as delusional as MAGA.

4.4 million veterans live in rural America, many of whom are older and rely on Medicaid. With Republicans slashing funding, struggling rural hospitals face even greater challenges, putting veterans' lives at risk. #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown

I think if they were gang members there would have been a violent response. Seems like proof they were not!

This is not "de-escalation"β€”this is state violence. The actions being taken are far from calming the situation; instead, they exacerbate tensions and demonstrate a disturbing disregard for human rights.

Trump and Republicans spread lies and scapegoat immigrants to distract you from how they are picking your pockets.

Do not be fooled.
