@CDCgov @JoeBiden @VP @NYCCHR @NYCMayor @NYCHealthSystem Our country and NYC’s response to the monkey pox virus is shameful. Delayed response, insufficient supply of vaccines, stigma while proclaiming to not stigmatize, crashing website, new appts on Fri eve gone in minutes.

Proud to be part of the legal team representing these amazing parents who are doing nothing more than loving and supporting their children and PFLAG, a fantastic organizations that provides support for parents of LGBTQ+ kids, and its members, including over 600 Texans.

There is little difference between white and Black Americans on reluctance to take the coronavirus vaccine, a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll finds.

73% of Black people and 70% of white people say they plan to get the vaccine or have done so already. https://t.co/OsrYzJMoD4

Rep. Cori Bush didn't even need her full 30 seconds to eviscerate the "White Supremacist in Chief."

@danarubinstein @emmagf Of all things you could have written in a NYC mayoral candidate profile about Dianne Morales why include a mention of marijuana use? Relevance? And why in hers and not others? Because she is Afro-Latina? Other candidate profiles = all substantive content.

The outcome of yesterday's Supreme Court case could impact #LGBTQ people, children in foster care, seniors, those who need food assistance, victims of domestic violence, and more.

An estimated 129,000 of the 430,000 kids in foster care are #LGBT+. And soon, the Supreme Court may decide if foster agencies can discriminate against same-sex couples.

IMPORTANT:

Barrett used "sexual preference" (not "sexual orientation") when discussing her views on marriage equality.

This is a dogwhistle. The term "sexual preference" is used by opponents of equality to suggest that being #LGBTQ is a choice.

BREAKING: A member of the Breonna Taylor grand jury just filed a motion asking a judge to release the full proceedings of the grand jury. This is more evidence that AG Cameron's public statement contradict both the facts and what was presented to the grand jury.

@NYCMayor @NYPDShea
Just another night to arrest peaceful protesters, right? Congrats this week on showing that you can’t be trusted not to abuse your own citizens when literally the whole world is watching.

[Currey Cook @CurreyCook]

@NYCMayor @NYPDShea You should be ashamed of yourselves. Continued racist police practices even during a health crisis, refusing to hold bad cops accountable, and, last night, beating & macing your own citizens. You want respect? Treat people with respect, be honest, and change.

[Currey Cook @CurreyCook]

@JoeBiden Please announce your Black female Vice President pick this weekend. Thanks!
