I have spent some time reflecting and I think that soon I need to make a post talking about the ableism I’ve faced in RL, specifically in leagues that I have joined or participated in. RL as a whole has terrible accessibility so might be worth posting about
Today, the constitution won a battle in the war against the corruption waged by Trump.
In a 5-4 vote, SCOTUS rejected Trumps attempt to rewrite both the 14th amendment & American history.
This is a stark reminder of the thread our democracy hangs by.
As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.
Pride is joy. Pride is courage. Pride is a celebration. And Pride is the ongoing fight to ensure every person can live as their authentic self.
This month and every month, we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and all those continuing the fight for equality.
Happy Pride!
Calling it now, Trump is going to delete the photo depicting him as Jesus, then he’s going to claim it was posted by a staffer (but he won’t name or fire the staffer) & 99% of the MAGA influencers criticizing him right now will simply act like it never happened.
This is a victory for the LGBTQ+ community and for our entire city. It’s a reminder that New Yorkers won’t let our history be rewritten.
Our administration will keep working to ensure LGBTQ+ New Yorkers can live safely and with dignity in our city.
When Americans stand up and fight for justice, we win.
We took on a king.
We ended slavery.
We built unions.
We won voting rights.
We secured LGBTQ rights.
Again and again, Americans fought back — and won.
We can do it again.
Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.
As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.
Alex and tens of thousands of Minnesotans have boldly defended their neighbors against the murderous occupation of an American city by the federal government. I am enraged and heartbroken for Alex, his family, Minneapolis, and America.
As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today. ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.
