For anyone pushed out, ignored, or unwelcome this week — hear this: God holds you close. You are fully, fiercely BELOVED. No family, no church, no politician can take that away. The Open and Affirming Coalition is with you. You matter. 🌈❤️

It’s always been hard to make it as an artist in America – and it’s becoming only harder
It’s always been hard to make it as an artist in America – and it’s becoming only harder

🎨 Joy is resistance
I’ve spent years calling out what’s broken, but I’m shifting. Resistance can be joy, breath, creation, existence. This Black man — maybe queer, maybe not — is seen, worthy, free. Our joy is sacred.
Art. Joy. Resistance. Repeat.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

DHS altered a Black boy's video then used it to threaten Americans.
Since we won't come outside they are creating ways to make it seem like we are.
