[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

This is for the young progressives out there. When I was a bit younger, I was terribly disappointed with then President Bill Clinton, who signed the hateful DOMA and Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell into law. It seemed he had betrayed all of his values and the LGBTQ community that had helped get him elected. There was a part of me that said I would stand on principle and never vote for him again.

But then I remembered, voting isn’t about loving everything about your candidate. Voting for me is about making a strategic move that will best advance the cause of democracy, freedom and peace for all people, even if my candidate of choice really, really let me down.

I supported Bill Clinton for a second term, even though he had just signed DOMA into law, a law that said my love for my husband Brad was not enough to be legally recognized, not ever.

Candidates aren’t perfect. We shouldn’t ever expect them to agree with us always, even on the most basic of things.But we cast our votes as a prayer for them to do better because we know they can, and their hearts are in the right place.

Bill Clinton came around to supporting my community, without exception. It took time. We got there. So don’t waste your vote. Use it wisely, and make the decision, even if it’s hard, to back the best candidate for what the world needs, and to help prevent an utter catastrophe if, heaven forbid, the other one is elected.

Facing #Alzheimers is tough enough already. Tear down Medicare’s barrier to FDA-approved Alzheimer's treatments, @SenAmyKlobuchar @SenTinaSmith. Help us #ENDALZ #progess https://t.co/RGFEO1AI5M

Please tell CMS to put effective FDA-approved treatments that slow clinical decline into the hands of #Alzheimers patients as quickly as possible. @Ilhan #ENDALZ

My estimate: 40,000+ unvaccinated Texans needlessly lost their lives during the devastating delta wave in 2021 early omicron 2022 because they refused a Covid vaccine. They were victims: targeted by the grifters/contrarians who falsely discredited safety/effectiveness of vaccines

Charters frequently implode in scandal and outright criminality. Money vanishes, administrators pay themselves enormous salaries, much-celebrated schools close overnight. There's no stability in the system, which is exactly what disadvantaged students need the most.

[John Cusack @johncusack]

All of you who were so kind and generous to support @UkraineCAP - we thank you ! Imagine what’s going on in buffalo while being being bombed - and displaced
I give to local charities in Chicago - and know there so much suffering and need-

Fuck engineering - how about one that is ANTI fascist - not a fascist oligarch.

If there are more protections for gun ownership than there are for reproductive rights, you might have your priorities mixed up.

“I had a second chance at life and it’s made me fearless”: 44 years ago, Congresswoman Jackie Speier was shot multiple times and left for dead at an airstrip in Guyana.

Now, as she prepares to step away from Congress, she tells @MacFarlaneNews how that day shaped her future.

As temperatures begin to rise, we are preparing for potential flooding due to melting snow in Western New York. We have nearly 800,000 sandbags & more than 300 pumps & generators ready to deploy.

We will continue to work closely with local partners to help communities recover.

You can tell @elonmusk is a Republican because he can't even keep the lights on.

[Nancy Pelosi @TeamPelosi]

Democrats promised to lower health care costs — and we beat Big Pharma.

Starting next week, seniors on Medicare will pay no more than $35 for insulin per month and no more than $2000 for medications ALL YEAR.

We won’t let Republicans repeal reforms or raise prices! -NP
