Dear Mitch McConnell & all those representing him,
Please refrain from using my image in support of anything but your own stunning & humiliating defeat.
Thanks!

In regards to the āPresidentāsā tweet today, I know women who you cannot control or grope anger you, but I stand by @mPinoe & will sit this one out as well. I donāt support this administration nor their fight against LGBTQ+ citizens, immigrants & our most vulnerable.
Anyone who doubts why cameras are so important in federal courtrooms should watch this. The monstrosity of the Trump Administration reeks with every spoken line and a cold transcript can never capture it.
My heroes are the ones who stood up when it wasnāt easy.
Kids are dying in cages on our border. Families are being put in āfreezersā & ādog pounds.ā
Years from now, people will look for the journalists, officials, & everyday people who stood up for what was right in real-time.
Juneteenth isnāt just about celebrating the end of slavery in Texas. Itās a necessary reminder that 154 years later, Black Americans still feel the harsh reality that the fight for racial equality in our country is far from over. Iām in that fight all the way.
"Enslavement reigned for 250 years on these shores. When it ended, this country could've extended its hallowed principles ā life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness ā to all, regardless of color," writer Ta-Nehisi Coates told Congress. "But America had other principles in mind"
There are countless reasons why the people who are fleeing their home countries come to the southern US border, it's mind boggling. But 1 thing always sticks out when you talk to these people, who come not just from Central America, but from Africa, Asia, and Europe.
This piece by the bi woman attacked on the bus is extraordinary, utterly deconstructing and challenging the leaders and media that made capital of the attack while contributing to its causes, and elevating the voices of those who don't get such headlines.
