The violent news from Colorado Springs is sickening and heartbreaking - the more so because there is a pattern.
We can not, will not, allow hate to win. We must end this in our time. No rest until all of us, including all of us in the LGBTQ+ community, can be, and feel, safe.
Stochastic terror becomes real terror. Those dead in the LGBTQ+ bar Club Q only died hours ago. They were to have a drag brunch today.
Libs of TikTok is attacking another drag brunch in Colorado and a trans legislator only hours later.
Elon Musk let them stay on the platform.
It was the patrons of the LGBTQ nightclub who subdued Anderson Lee Aldrich, not the police. Remember this the next time the homophobes bring up “wokeness” in our military.
“Don’t forget California is big. Really big. The state has nearly 20 million registered voters. Two counties alone — Los Angeles and Orange — have more voters than 30 states.”
@Mikanojo@RonFilipkowski Where does one learn the word “genuflecting?” I’m 42 yrs old, scored well on SATs (if you choose to give that any significance), and have never before seen this word! I’m so grateful for strangers expanding my language skills, humbling myself in the process—thank you!

I get asked often when I became a liberal? When did I walk away from my “conservative values?” I didn’t. I have the same values taught me by my New England WWII veteran father and daughter of Italian immigrants mother. The GOP walked away from my values.
@KimComstock5@joncoopertweets Exit polling typically, as far as I know. I wonder if they could know voters’ party affiliations and assume their votes accordingly? Not sure on that one.
