IMO God did hear American prayers. We have just elected Joe Biden who will unite us in faith in a better America vs a man who has been dividing us in hatred.. I pray that we can unite in healing the rifts in our country and create a society where there is equal justice

BREAKING: Catholic priests & lay religious brothers sexually abused over 1,997 kids — in Illinois ALONE — over the last 7 decades, according to a new investigation.

In 2018, the Catholic Church said there were over 100 abusers. But guess what? The state says the ACTUAL number was more than 450!

“This report clearly tells us that no one knew more about abuse, and no one did less about it, than these dioceses themselves,” said Mike McDonnell (pictured), a spokesman for a victim advocacy group.

Here's my question:

Why do so many conservative Christians point to people like me in the LGBTQ community as a threat to their kids, when the REAL danger so often lies in their own churches?

Tell me that. And I'll give you more details on this story, and more stories on real threats to our kids, as I find them. 🧵👇

I’m in pain right now. Perpetuating lies, such as the denial of the Holocaust, and praising fascist murderers, is dangerous and fans the flames of antisemitism and hate. We all have an obligation to condemn these vile acts. We must not stay silent.

Today, I proudly signed the Speak Out Act – bipartisan legislation prohibiting non-disclosure agreements from silencing survivors of sexual assault and harassment.

This is an historic victory for justice and dignity: empowering survivors and building safer workplaces for all.

Is there a better definition of corporate greed than a Warren Buffett-owned railway refusing to provide workers with sick leave despite the company reporting a net income of nearly $6 billion?

Beijing tonight, right now. 京城大厦 Beijing Capital Club, a landmark 5-star mansion on the third ring road, kilos away from Liang Ma Qiao. Ppl chanting “ 不要谎言要尊严” which means we don’t want lies, we want dignity. It’s happening right now!

Lots of reports currently about Ukrainian advances in #Kherson and #Luhansk. Few have been officially confirmed. However, we can draw a couple of things from these ongoing campaigns. 1/17 🧵

I can’t believe we’re still talking about this, but my emails…

As Trump’s problems continue to mount, the right is trying to make this about me again. There’s even a “Clinton Standard."

The fact is that I had zero emails that were classified.

If you believe that a 16 year old is not “mature enough” to have an abortion but that she is “mature enough” to be forced to become a mother, you are an idiot and an asshole.
