What was Noem supposed to do? How about this,
"I see my friend Senator Padilla has joined us. Do you mind if I finish my previous answer, then I'll address your question. Do we have a seat in front for Senator Padilla?"
This is Senator Jim Banks from Indiana. No need to tell you he’s a Republican—it’s clear by the cruel disdain he shows his own constituent who was laid off.
Also note: he waits until he’s safely behind his staff and the door is just about to close before telling him he deserved it and calling him a “clown.”
So, he’s not just cruel—he’s a coward.
I decided to try to summarise how many of us are feeling with the recent BAEC changes in this open letter to Sean Doyle. If you agree with the sentiments please do retweet so we can try to push back against these changes. https://t.co/yhsiuZzQIw
John Legend, a native of Springfield, Ohio, discusses the influx of Haitian immigrants, the spread of misinformation and disinformation about them, and recent attacks by Trump and his allies.
In the guise of “enhanced security” another $$$ grab by Twitter to force you to pay in order to do 2-step authentication by text message. 😒 It’s time to say bye bye
The Declaration of Independence promises that we’re all created equal and entitled to a fair chance.
It’s who we are as a nation.
Let’s pass the Equality Act – to ensure LGBTQ+ Americans can live with safety and dignity.
It's our favorite time of year again! 🎉
Join us in welcoming our Spring 2023 class of Victory Congressional Interns! 🏛 This semester, LGBTQ Victory Institute welcomes six LGBTQ leaders of tomorrow to the Nation's capital for a semester-long internship on Capitol Hill.
1 in 5 of the LGBTQ candidates on the ballot yesterday were trained by LGBTQ Victory Institute. We're proud to have done our part in powering the Rainbow Wave of 2022.
We’re thrilled to bring together LGBTQ leaders from the U.S. and Mexico this week, including our awardee @SalmaLuevano. And we’re especially proud of the recent work by our partners @YaajMexico, whose advocacy resulted in the Senate passing a ban on conversion therapy!
Each year, we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month by uplifting the queer and trans Latinx leaders who inspire us to fight for equality. In the face of xenophobia and racism, Latinx leaders have shaped history – and our movement – in immeasurable ways.
We know that 7.1% of the U.S. voting-age population is LGBTQ, however only 0.2% of all elected office holders are.
That means we need:
2️⃣ more LGBTQ governors
1️⃣7️⃣ more LGBTQ statewide executives
3️⃣4️⃣6️⃣ more LGBTQ legislators, and
>1️⃣5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ more LGBTQ local officials‼️
THIS JUST IN: For the first time since we started publishing our annual Out for America Report, we’ve identified over 1,000 LGBTQ people who are serving in elected office!
Despite the milestone, this is a huge underrepresentation. https://t.co/RK2JMFWkB1
Communities are better off when EVERYONE has a seat at the table, including LGBTQ leaders. The @DavidBohnettFdn Fellowship at @Kennedy_School brings together the rising stars of our community to help them grow as public servants and better serve their constituents.
