Tucker Carlson and the far right are trying to convince Americans that Christianity and trans rights are "natural enemies." Sign now to show that Christians reject this hatred, and that we love and affirm trans people and theologies >> https://t.co/xbcX4WT6be

I just called on Rep. George Santos to resign — will you join me? https://t.co/7kJvVx1x6t

[Steven Parlato @parlatowrites]

@elonmusk YES! And soon!

@whitemummybear @crunchyboots @Sara_Rose_G You could look into his post-Potter career if interested. It includes Broadway (leads in How to Succeed… & Equus), film, & TV. He also turned down an offer to reprise his Harry role in a film version of Cursed Child. Many people are currently discussing his turn as Weird Al

@PRPpress Amazing cover for an amazing book!

@PRPpress You signed an amazing author! #Congratulations @bethfehlbaum #FindtheMoon #grittyYA

@RepMTG You are a delusional danger to this nation. I cannot wait for your time to pass; I only hope it happens before you cause further damage #dumpMTG

[Steven Parlato @parlatowrites]

@Authoralexp Wow, whole can of worms! Seems many attacking YA have a very narrow perception of what YA is (vampires, romance, wizards). As an author and reader of gritty realistic YA, the ignorance astounds me #YAisliterature #settledown

@JeffersonD1860 @fsareshwala @SouthwestAir Not sure why your comment merits my reply but SERIOUSLY? Bumping his seat merits a blow to the head and repeated racist/misogynistic name calling? WOW! I hope to never fly with you… So sorry this happened to your wife. Clearly a disgusting display of racist/chauvinistic venom

WW1 vet Lamar Smith was assassinated on the Lincoln County courthouse lawn in Brookhaven, MS, on 8/13/1955. Though there were nearly 75 witnesses, the 3 white men responsible went free. This is portrait 11 in my collage series, THEY ARE NOT DISPOSABLE. #BLM #VotingRights

[Steven Parlato @parlatowrites]

Smith was a vocal advocate for voting rights and is considered a Civil Rights martyr. A movement is underway to rename the courthouse in his honor. The collage is created using recycled household items: wrapping paper, junk mail, packaging #TheyAreNotDisposable #BLM
