Today @SpencerJCox and I are releasing joint public service ads on civility in politics. Working together and the peaceful transfer of power are integral to what it means to be American. Let's reforge our national commitment to decency and democracy. #utpol#standunited
Teacher: I love my job, and I’m leaving my job.
Me: I understand.
The loss of one great teacher is a loss to all of us.
Those who don’t understand the complexities of this loss and the action it deserves have no business leading.
@JackKlemeyer How can you possibly believe this? He did & it’s been proven repeatedly. I want a republic where I still have a voice. It’s been taken away by outrageous campaign contributions, lobbyists and the old cronies in congress who won’t cooperate w/those who are different. Unamerican.
@JackKlemeyer Because there is so much wrong in the country and so many seem blind to it. It’s a scary time to be alive and instead of doing something our president and congress are living ina fantasy world. It’s upsetting.
In Stockholm today an old man asked me “what has happened to your country? You pulled out of Paris climate accord, you let anyone have machine gun, your president spouts hate. The America of my youth won World War II and was a model to the rest of the world. What happened?”
Call your federal senators and representatives every day. And don’t stop until they do something about this fixable problem.

@JackKlemeyer@PeteButtigieg This is willful blindness on your part Jack. This story is big and complicated we are living willingly in a time of massacre. A situation we can do something about immediately if the NRA were silent and actually cared about human lives and not their bottom line. #stopthestigma
The time is now for us Republicans to be honest with what is happening inside our party. We are better than this and I implore my Republican colleagues to stand up and do the right thing.
What's sickening, is that tomorrow Christians will fill churches and publicly lament the deaths in #ElPaso—and then go right on applauding the vile, racist, incendiary filth this President produces, while chanting "build that wall," hugging their guns, and saying they love Jesus.
Just left the 1st CBP facility.
I see why CBP officers were being so physically &sexually threatening towards me.
Officers were keeping women in cells w/ no water & had told them to drink out of the toilets.
This was them on their GOOD behavior in front of members of Congress.
Q: G- why am I so angry all the time?A: Because you are paying attention. At this point in history, I only respect two types of women: 1. Angry women. 2. Women who are in an active coma.
@JackKlemeyer@AOC Just don’t forget the the the law of the land included black people being 3/5 of a human for a long time too. And that women were not allowed to be voting citizens either. It’s worth considering motive when discussing citizenship.
Hi! Reminder to evangelicals that your leadership didn’t care about abortion till Falwell lost his right to segregate his “Jesus” school and he and his buddies needed an issue to get y’all voting as a bloc! Have a great day! Blessed Be The Fruit, G
Abortion bans aren’t just about controlling women’s bodies.
They’re about controlling women’s sexuality. Owning women.
From limiting birth control to banning comprehensive sex ed, US religious fundamentalists are working hard to outlaw sex that falls outside their theology.
