BREAKING: https://t.co/JQWy2gTfhs just dropped a new track titled "Yes She Can"—and yes, “She” is Kamala Harris.
This is the anthem America needs to hear right now.
Just left my LA City Hall job after three years. Somehow I did this to my ID card by the end.
A lot of the job was working with LA's homeless services. There’s a measure on the ballot now to decide whether we keep funding those services.
If we let this funding die we're fucked.
Twenty-five years ago today, Matthew Shepard lost his life to a brutal act of anti-gay hate and violence simply for being himself.
His murder shook the conscience of the American people. And his courageous parents, Judy and Dennis Shepard, turned Matthew’s memory into a movement.
As Vice President, I had the honor of helping to enact the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which extended federal hate crimes laws to cover sexual orientation, gender identity, and disability. This legislation is a lasting tribute to Matthew and a testament to the relentless advocacy of Judy and Dennis.
But our work will not be finished until we end the hate and violence that too many LGBTQI+ Americans continue to face.
May God bless Matthew Shepard and all who remember him today.

The Amazon Now vs Then
This guy could have just delivered a spook-show/alien invasion show and we kids would have watched for the thrills. But he made us think. Subversive in the best way.
My sister and nieces and nephews are there. They’ve been protesting BIBI for months. Fight for a two state solution. Israelis are Jews and Arabs and all colors. There is so much complexity to this. But make NO MISTAKE Hamas is a terror organization who’s mission statement is kill all Jews. This fucking world breaks my heart
UNITED WE ARE STRONG. DIVIDED WE FAIL
This story is about the 1985 WGA strike. It was a disaster! We had the riches of home video within our grasp…and we fumbled. This screwup later got applied to DVD. I wasn’t a member, but I’m appalled. The lesson is, infighting destroys us.
Climate change isn't a future threat; it's a present reality. That's the bad news. Here's the good news: we have the solutions and we know what to do. There's still time to rewrite our future if we act now. (image by @ed_hawkins)
New York is a union town! WGA showed up strong to march alongside so many of the workers that keep this city running.

For the first time in recorded history, all seven official tropical cyclone basins have produced a Category 5 storm in the same year. *2023*
What a crazy year it has been so far…
Coco Gauff says she believes in climate change & can’t be mad at the protesters:
“I believe in climate change. I don’t know exactly what they were protesting.. I 100% believe there are things we could do better. Would I prefer it not happening in my match? 100%. It is what it is.. moments like this are history defining moments. I wasn’t pissed at the protesters. I always speak about preaching what you believe in. It was done in a peaceful way. I can’t get too mad at it.. if that’s what they felt they needed to do to get their voices heard I can’t really get upset at it.” ❤️
Earth daily 2-m Surface Temperature is now 16,99°C this is soo crazy and the silence in media even more I can not handle this anymore! We all feel it something profound has changed. Also look at this massive Anomaly in the Antarctic it is just crazy. Soon we all will be silenced.
Horryfying footage showing the current scale of the forest fire that hit Alberta, Canada. 10,000 hectares of trees involved. Forest fire season is occuring earlier, and lasting longer. There is nothing normal about what's happening.
No time to wait. #ActOnClimate#climate
