please keep the “we survived him once, we will do it again” tweets in the drafts or better yet delete them. millions of people did not in fact survive him, and millions more will not survive him again.

Come to think of it, denigrating the worth of a soldier’s service based on whether he deployed to a war zone is… kind of like denigrating the worth of a woman’s citizenship based on whether she happens to have children.

Juxtaposing Sonya Massey's murder by the police against Kamala Harris's ascendance to presidential nominee should be disorienting, yet it is so painfully American. Let it be another reminder that this isn't a country, nor world, we should accept. Are you not tired of elegy?

in all the BARBIE discourse, i don’t see anyone talking about the female audience. BARBIE is opening to $155+ million!! we are a vastly underserved audience. we’re 51% of the population. the majority male executives think we don’t matter, don’t spend, don’t need to be marketed to

Here's what I think of the streamers' cruel plan to "starve us out"

What todays Supreme Court rulings mean for the LGBTQ community and it’s supporters:

Someone walks into your business with a MAGA hat on…no service.

Someone walks in with a gun hanging from their hip…no service.

Someone walks in wearing transphobic merch…no service.

Someone walks in with Jesus loves me on their shirt…no service.

Someone walks in wearing the confederate flag…no service.

It’s time to fight fire with fire. 🔥

In a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court has officially ruled that businesses have the right to discriminate against LGBTQ+ Americans.

“Whenever I’m about to do something, I think ‘Would an idiot do that?’ and if they would, I do not do that thing.” – Dwight Schrute

And what is the best way to spot an idiot? Look for the person who is cruel.

The impact of seeing oneself and community reflected onscreen is profound, especially for those who live at the intersection of different marginalized communities. From Pose to #ALeagueofTheirOwn, queer stories are making an impact. We’re here for it: 📲

“I wanted to address my senators, Cruz and Cornyn.. I would like for them to know that what happened to me is a direct result of the policies they support. I nearly died on their watch and I may have been robbed of the opportunity to have children in the future”

[NowThis Impact @nowthisimpact]

'I cannot adequately put into words the trauma & despair that comes with waiting to either lose your own life, your child’s, or both.'

Amanda Zurawski, who's suing the state of TX after being denied an abortion due to restrictive laws, testified before Senate members Wednesday.
