There is a two-tiered system of justice in this country, and Donald Trump lives on the tier where he gets to walk into the White House without spending a single day in jail or being put on probation after being convicted of 34 felonies. https://t.co/3plUPzALe2

In the US, milk is pasteurized via High Temperature Short Time pasteurization.

Milk is rapidly heated to 161°F for 15 seconds, then rapidly cooled.

This kills pathogens: E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria, inactivates influenza viruses, herpesviruses, parvoviruses, & others.

I've shared this pic before, but time to share it again.

It was taken in 2000, long before woke or LGBT rights were common words.

My father is helping me with my bowtie, as I'm getting ready to go to my high school prom with another woman.

I stopped speaking to him in 2019...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his anti-vax fakery was tied to a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa. And he lied about it. As head of HHS, he could do much worse here.

When the Department of Education is eliminated, what happens to the special needs children? Just curious.

Bills for the 2025 session just dropped in several states, and y'all, it's bad. I'll be reporting on all of them soon but:

- Adult bathroom bans

- Drag bans with bounty provisions

- Removal of gender identity from nondiscrimination protections

and more.

Deporting 11 million undocumented immigrants, who are essential to the economy, will cost $97 billion in annual tax revenue and about $220 billion in logistics. This doesn’t even account for the expenses of hiring judges, lawyers, and CBP/ICE officers, as well as building additional courts and detention centers. It’s not happening.

Because I am getting this question dozens of times in my DMs from trans people/parents... If you're trying to move for safety:

Countries: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Spain, France.

States: Any blue state on my risk assessment map, which I'll update post-election.

before i log off

the day after trump won in 2016 i got cornered at school by a group of boys who told me they were going to burn me alive with my rainbow flag wrapped around my body. this was one day into his presidency. i had many horrible things happen to me during his term.

[SevenLeafClover🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 @CloverSevenLeaf]

If Trump installs his regime, here are a few reminders.

If you know anyone trans, you do not.

If you know any immigrants, they've been here their whole lives.

If someone asks you about politics, you do not discuss politics.

Anything and everything that will be used to target

There's a lot of hopelessness among trans people right now. This election was and is existential for us.

I want to reach out to all the people out there who are struggling tonight and tell my story.

I was 12 when I first realized I was trans. It was 1999 in rural Louisiana...
