Tomorrow is my last day in the @BuzzFeed office — something that is still hard to say! Here’s a little photo trip through some of the most amazing memories I made and history I saw during my seven years with @BuzzFeedNews (even before there was a BuzzFeed News)! #tbt
Edie Windsor! What an incredible woman. I’m so privileged that I got to know this woman — and her similarly get-it-done lawyer @kaplanrobbie. buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg…
Covering #Prop8 was a journey that began when I was writing at Law Dork in Columbus, Ohio, and continued through my time at Metro Weekly and into my time at BuzzFeed. The plaintiffs—Kris, Sandy, Jeff, and Paul—were, like all of the marriage plaintiffs, so full of stories to tell.

So! It’s #MyTwitterAnniversary, and it couldn’t have come at a more appropriate time. Hard to believe that I signed up for Twitter a decade ago — but it is so.
I signed up early in the morning on Feb. 5, in order to promote (even though I had no followers?) my liveblogging of the California Supreme Court’s arguments over the state constitutionality of Proposition 8 later that day:
My life was in a wildly different place — despite in some very obvious ways being similar! I was in the midst of a job change, just like today, having left my job in state government but not yet having moved to DC.

NEW: Justice Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed to #SCOTUS, but the ethics complaints filed against him haven't gone away — per letter just made public, Chief Justice John Roberts is transferring them to the 10th Circuit buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
What happens now? Judicial ethics experts have said they expect the complaints against Kavanaugh ultimately to be dismissed — the misconduct review process that applies to lower court judges doesn't cover justices, and #SCOTUS doesn't have its own system buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Notably, the 10th Circuit is where Roberts sent an ethics complaint against former DC federal district chief judge Richard Roberts, re: decades-old allegation pre-dating his time as a judge that he sexually abused a teenage witness in a case he prosecuted buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

I don't know of anyone who has been asked not to attend a funeral.

In only 6 mths, Trump has been asked not to attend 2 funerals.

This is unprecedented.

Republican voters & white "Evangelical Christians" really outdid themselves with this amoral, sexual predator & traitor
Christianity Today: Trump humiliates & demeans the vulnerable. The "embodiment of what the Bible calls a fool."

Trump publicly describing the "benefits" of sex w a troubled teen.

This public behavior IS rape culture.

Trump is unfit in every way.

By the time the following video had been shot, Trump had been accused by Ivanka's mother of a brutal rape & of sexually assaulting another woman.

Trump agrees that he's a sexual predator. @IvankaTrump response? Inappropriate giggling.

Ivanka Trump ...

It's a criminal offence to falsifying a legal instrument. But if the #MetPolice / #LBRUT do it, then there is not even an investigation. 12 years of silence. Evidence to prove it - ukcoverup.com/search-warrant-

Welcome to the #Metpolice who also changed & falsified my arrest details. Have a look at the evidence here ukcoverup.com/arrest-details as it's all easy to prove & that's why it's never addressed

Senate Republicans just rubber-stamped another extreme, Federalist Society-approved judicial nominee to the federal appellate bench: 39-year-old Andrew Oldham
In his confirmation hearing, Mr. Oldham refused to say that the landmark #SCOTUS case Brown v. Board of Education was correctly decided. He also refused to say whether he agreed that voter discrimination still exists in the United States.
He has also called the Supreme Court “the most dangerous branch” and told the Federalist Society that there are “particular things that I think are illegitimate in the way that we conduct modern American law.”
