@metheridge@RollingStone You know this list is abjectly false if Melissa Etheridge isn't on it. She was singing about it before I even had the language for it. Before I even dared look at it. Her music was revolutionary. 🌈
Today will be a day that I remember forever. As President Biden finished speaking at the Safer Communities Summit he let us know that he could only take pictures in front of sections of the auditorium due to an incoming storm. As he walked around the front isle to take the group photos he saw me and the picture of my pops who was murdered. He gave me the Joe Biden look, (IYKYK) grabbed my shoulder, looked me in my eyes and said “You know It’s fathers day”.. there was some more conversation, he grabbed and held the picture of my dad and made his WH photographers take a picture with me and the photo of my dad. He looked at me and said “you are his twin” as he walked away.
I was speechless and I still can’t believe it. President Biden is one of the most genuine elected officials you can ever meet and he will listen to you and your story. I can’t wait to get that picture… It’ll be framed and saved forever. Out of the times that I’ve met and talked to him this day is by far the most special. Happy Father’s Day to my pops and happy Father’s Day to Joe Biden. #SaferCommunitiesSummit
Tina Turner helped give me - and probably countless others - the strength to leave a domestic violence situation. Aside from her iconic music and inimitable voice, the influence she had on millions will never be forgotten. #RIPTinaTurner. An absolute legend.
It's not just abortion that the women-haters are after.
It's no-fault divorce.
It's contraception access.
It's women's ability to make our own decisions about our own lives.

20yrs ago this wknd Bowling for Columbine won the Oscar. Ppl think the film was about guns. It wasn’t. The point was “Guns don’t kill people—Americans kill people”. No other country shoots each other this much. Why? I offer you a free viewing thru Sun. https://t.co/4nMPEEWepm
I met a transgender 6th grader today who’s family is considering applying for asylum in Canada because of the threats she’s gotten. They already had to leave their home state of Texas. We can’t call ourselves a free country until everyone can exist as themselves without fear.
