Grateful for my 1st amendment rights. Grateful my country is again a country of rule of law & due process. Yes, we are still striving to be a more perfect Union. As a country we must embrace #learningmindset as the Founding Fathers intended

A 🧵 of my exercising right to speech
Sometimes you make demands and let them know you are not going anywhere and not shutting up about injustice.

There is due process and violating the Constitution by a single paper signed by one man is not the government envisioned by the Founding Fathers.
Sometimes you sing about inclusiveness. Frankly, advocates need to mix it up for own wellbeing. It is a form of self care to affirm values & vision

"I don’t look at my #disability as a weakness... It’s made me the performer that I am and the storyteller that I strive to be. When you have to teach yourself how to say sounds, when you have to be highly concerned about pronunciation..."

...it gives you a certain awareness of sonics, of the auditory experience.”

"She is also the first person to announce her intention to run for president in 2036, the first election cycle in which she’ll be old enough to do so."

Habe doch glatt in die Zeremonie zur Amtseinführung von #Biden live reingeschaltet:



Pünktlich zur Sekunde, als Lady Gaga "land of the free" sang. Bis zum Amtsschwur von Kamala Harris und dann "This land is your land".

Doch, irgendwie ergreifend.
Ich lese parallel die Kommentare von Trump mit. Keine Sorge, nicht den Golfspieler, der Bannon sogar Betrug durchgehen ließ.

Der Hashtag #InaugurationDay ist zudem erstaunlich unvergiftet. Jedenfalls im Moment, siehe:

Ich sehe das als "ziemlich guten Start" an, zusammen mit Bidens 15-Punkte-Plan für seinen ersten Tag:
