On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

I think the only thing Chief Justice John Roberts and I both enjoy is a gay dinner party on Martha's Vineyard. Glory!

Congress better hurry up and settle the shutdown before everyone figures out they’re nonessential personnel.

Almost like someone had advance notice from inside Trump’s inner circle. Truly the golden age of corruption.

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

They’ve long had it out for Portland.

This is a clip from my now-infamous 2020 conversation with the Portland DA

And a link to the story I wrote after Andy Ngo seemed to take it to heart.

The Americans starving these children wear crucifixes and call themselves “Christians.”

People are not what they tell you they are; they are how they behave.

Tyranny isn’t American. Defiance of tyranny is.

Trump might think he’s warming people up to the idea of authoritarianism, but he’s encountering patriotic resistance at every turn.

From judges, governors, ordinary citizens…like us.

True Americans will not go quietly into the night.

Those responsible for compiling the jobs report don’t have jobs anymore, hence there will be no jobs report this month.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

🇺🇸 To the American people:
It’s time to rise, in unity.
It’s time to walk on Washington.

Democracy is not defended by waiting. It’s defended by standing, speaking, and acting, together.

New favorite quote (from you on MSNBC, about Comey):

"This indictment is quintessentially trumpian...It is

breathtakingly corrupt
and
mindblowingly stupid."

That last sentence should be engraved on trump's tombstone when he finally departs our world
