For those who invoke #Eisenhower as a "good" Republican, please remember he ordered the firings of all homosexuals working for the US govt in 1953: Nearly 3,000 people.

It has been deeply disappointing to me during this first week of #PrideMonth that so few of you have RT'd news and history pieces I have posted--mine and others'--about this historic 50th anniversary of our #LGBTQ civil rights movement.

The best way to show you're an ally is to amplify oppressed voices.
#PrideMonth is a great time to fly your rainbow ally colors. The work I have done in the past few weeks, writing and researching all these history pieces, has been incredibly hard and emotional work.

It's disheartening that along with not having equal rights in our society, we are so easily ignored by our str8 family and friends during this most critically important #PrideMonth when hate crimes against us are on the rise due to Trump's policies and rhetoric.

1/ McGahn is right that “real lawyer[s]” take notes. This is one of the first lessons of 1L legal practice.
It doesn’t surprise me that @realDonaldTrump lawyers didn’t take notes, especially when he holds up Roy Cohn as an example of a great lawyer. Here’s why... #MuellerReport

2/ Lawyers take notes to create a record and so they can fulfill their clients’ interests—especially when working on multiple matters. Relying on one’s memory is dangerous. Even lawyers need to “refresh their recollection” and having a contemporaneous record is essential.
3/ We also grant lawyers attorney-client privilege to protect their notes and work product so there is rarely a reason to not take notes.
* Yes, I know, McGahn did not have privilege here. But it’s good for the country that our government lawyers create records.
