It's true! Sanders joins Harris, Warren, Brown, Gillibrand, Klobuchar, Booker, and Gabbard among *current* federal-level elected officials who have perfect scores from @HRC.

So, basically, everyone who fits that particular description had a perfect score in 2018.
And if Merkley joins the race, he also has a perfect score from HRC.

Biden, Castro, Hickenlooper, Buttigieg, Inslee, Bullock, Bloomberg, McAuliffe, and Kerry are not current federal-level elected officials, and have no score.

O'Rourke left Congress with a score of 100 in 2018.
So, I guess what I'm trying to say is: a score of "100" is laudable and marks excellent LGBTQ allyship in Congress, but it's not a distinguishing factor in this group of candidates. Which is a good thing!

I can't believe Ralph Northam briefly considered demonstrating the Moonwalk in a press conference as a way to prove he dressed in blackface as Michael Jackson for a dance contest in the '80s in order to convince folks he didn't appear in blackface in a photo on his yearbook page.
I cannot believe how close we came to seeing that. Would there have been a rip in the fabric of the space-time continuum? Would we have all died?
I'm guessing at least 70% of the folks who follow my feed but aren't watching this press conference think I'm joking. I am not joking. This is actually happening.

How convenient that the only freshmen representatives in Congress that are being admonished to "listen and learn" all happen to be women. What an extraordinary coincidence.
I just counted at least 25 men who are freshmen in Congress and have no previous experience in elected office, and weirdly, none of them--as far as I can tell--have been told they need to "listen and learn".
There may be more. I admittedly blacked out from rage after the 25th man I counted.

Northam is scheduled to have a press conference at 2:30 ET today, he's said that he will NOT be resigning. He's acting like a member of the GOP, and that is the worst possible thing he could do. #NorthamResign #SaturdayThoughts

2-"Gov. Ralph Northam of Virginia, facing intense pressure to resign from fellow Democrats after admitting that he posed for a photo in a racist costume as a medical student more than 30 years ago, was calling state Democrats on Saturday to say he did not think it was him in the
3-"picture and that he would not resign. Mr. Northam, who apologized on Friday night, was increasingly isolated, but in phone calls on Saturday morning he said he had no recollection of the yearbook image of two men, one in blackface and the other in Ku Klux Klan robes.

Ralph Northam should resign. Now.

Justin Fairfax will make an excellent governor.
And the fact that other people still in politics have done worse is irrelevant. They should resign (or be voted out), too. But right now we're talking about Northam, and his career in public life must be over now.
There are a lot of exciting young Democratic politicians in Virginia--starting with Fairfax, Levar Stoney, Abigail Spanberger, Elaine Luria, Jennifer Wexton, and more. The state deserves better than Northam.

But is it a pic of him? Because that's messed up.

The yearbook page for Gov. Ralph Northam (D) from his time at Eastern Virginia Medical School features a photo of a man wearing blackface and another wearing a Ku Klux Klan outfit standing side by side
huffingtonpost.com/entry/ralph-no…
Still no word from Gov. Ralph Northam's office.
If Gov. Ralph Northam is taking this time to figure out a resignation plan, it's worth reading what Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, who would replace him, has been up to lately

Wow. If you're still stanning for this guy, you are working for the other side. Racist, sexist, homophobic and just plain AWFUL.

Bernie: 'My Opponents' Want Black, White, Gay, Latino or Women Candidates 'Regardless of What They Stand For' mediaite.com/online/bernie-…
Why is Bernie slamming Democrats AGAIN and ignoring the wave of women and POC that gave us back the House?
#Gillibrand and #Warren both have more progressive voting records than Sanders. #Harris created the cash bail work he takes credit for. AND they are all running.

Awful.
Remember when Bernie said it this?

Bernie Sanders drew a swift backlash after saying white voters who are "uncomfortable" voting for a black candidate are "not necessarily racist." huffingtonpost.com/entry/bernie-s…?
