Happy Pride, America.
This month, in the face of cruel attacks on LGBTQI+ rights across the country, we celebrate the LGBTQI+ Americans who are fiercely and unapologetically fighting for freedom and equality – and reaffirm that their rights are human rights.
Happy Pride!
Pride Month has always been a joy-filled celebration. While we celebrate how far we’ve come, we must continue standing in solidarity with LGBTQ+ Americans in their ongoing struggle against discrimination and injustice.

They have gerrymandered unbreakable majorities in Texas, Georgia, Ohio, North Carolina and several other states.
Experts say Democrats are nearly out of time to stop them.
Sarah Weddington, who argued #RoeVWade in front of the #USSC, and won rights for women in Texas and across the nation, passed away this morning in Austin at age 76. With abortion rights again under attack we must again take up the fight. #RestInPower#txlege

Jill and I hold you close in our hearts.
