The impunity of being white…or so they’ve (we’ve) been led to believe. Reality’s gonna be a bitch.

As a gay woman in a nearly 25 year marriage I’m gonna pass Snoop. Thanks but no thanks. You already said what you said in your out loud voice.

Snoop Dogg teams up with GLAAD and queer artist Jeremy Beloate to support LGBTQ+ youth and families, following his earlier remarks about queer relationships in films:

“Partnering with GLAAD for Spirit Day just felt right, because spreading love and respect for everybody is what real gangstas do.”

Let's use these incidents to leverage public pressure--shame them. Refuse to tolerate any drop of antisemitism.

Because every time Jewish people are "othered" we as the majority allow it? We fail to protect freedom for everyone, including, eventually, ourselves.

If you're in VA just ignore all polls and #VoteDammit. Vote blue top to bottom on your ballot. The last day to vote is Nov 4 so vote early or make a plan for election day. Take nothing for granted.

there hasn't been a good high-quality, non-partisan poll conducted in Virginia for about 2 weeks now. beware of the averages now, uncertainty is pretty high when relying this much on partisan data. more on this tomorrow

Imagine being given a terminal diagnosis of ALS & having this regime threaten to gut medical research targeting your disease, pull back on vital support resources/services that provide dignity of care, & limiting/discontinuing telehealth. There are days I hear my brother screaming from his grave.

Fight or give up. That’s all we’ve got and if we resign ourselves to these horrors then they win. Not on my watch. I might be in my late sixties but I will not leave this earth until I see them face the consequences of their actions.

If as white people we’re tired of being “lectured“, tough titties! Read and reflect on this 👇🏼 🧵. Be willing to get uncomfortable. Stop running from confrontation. Use that unearned white privilege to the benefit of OTHERS. Stop whining, doom-talking, and “do something” shouting. Get in the fight!

White people need to talk to other white people. It is entirely up to the whites to move the needle on their end.

Let me be clear: racism and antisemitism are rampant on *both* sides of the aisle.

Your twentysomething niece has fallen for the okie doke just as easily as your Boomer uncle.
