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.

#LavenderScare is so heartbreaking.
All those ruined lives. The suicides.
And now Trump is trying to do the same now.

This really should be titled "even though Warren has better and more informed policy that is squarely to the left of Sanders AND includes women, I have to insist that Bernie is better because he's had the same POV since college."
1/
This piece is correct in that Bernie is an ideologue and Warren is a bit of an arrivist, but Warren has passed more legislation in her short time in Congress than Sanders has in his 30yrs.
Nwanevu makes no case for Sanders' independent status and fluffs Sanders' record.
2/
Not does Nwanevu explain Bernie's slender resume. This is frustrating when Warren has done so much over such an extensive career that included raising kids and putting her husband and herself through school.
Why do we expect so much less of men than we do women?

I'm just ecstatic about this.
I've loved having #TracyKSmith, whose work I'm crazy about, be Poet Laureate. The choice of #JoyHarjo to succeed her is a long-overdue recognition of Native work.

Here's more about #JoyHarjo, who was just chosen as our next Poet Laureate.

OMG.
How is this not disqualifying on its face?
Eastland never called #Biden "boy" because he wasn't black. I guarantee you he called black men "boy" and worse.
Why are we on a nostalgia tour of the Jim Crow era with Biden?
This is as terrible as #Biden's stance on abortion, his assurances that Pence and Cheney are actually really nice guys and that #AnitaHill should just get over herself already.
My parents--Biden's generation-- were Civil Rights workers. Talmadge and Eastland who #Biden invoked with fondness tonight, were notorious. These were not names to drop with nostalgia. These men were purveyors of white supremacy. They were no different than Trump. Just smarter.

#Republican students @Portland_State hosted racist Alt-Right troll Mike Mahoney, who was hired by Unite the Right speaker and neo-Nazi troll Baked Alaska to work for Milo Yiannopoulos, but had to be monitored due to his racist and anti-Semitic posts. rosecityantifa.org/articles/mike-…
According to report from @RoseCityAntifa, Mahoney was given the #Milkshake treatment.
An expose by Buzzfeed news on Milo and his deep connections to those in the Alt-Right and neo-Nazi scene first put a spotlight on Mahoney. buzzfeednews.com/article/joseph…

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

docs.google.com/document/d/1_J…

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

#Remember
In Deuteronomy 8, Moses gave a very powerful speech. It was actually a Message. Moses told the children of Israel, and us by extension, in verse 2 to 'remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee'. #Remember
The greatest crime anyone of us will commit is to forget. We must #Remember all the way we were brought through because if we don't, we will misbehave and if we misbehave, we will suffer the consequences.

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

Boppin about this evening & ran across this #article
Are you #Emotionally #Repressed?

How do the kids say it nowadays? I feel #calledout?
I've gotten much better,but i can still recall a time when I thought the epitome of feeling good, was feeling nothing
Seriously, if you're #reading down the #list going, "That's me, that's me, that's me, and oooooo is that EVER me!"

I'd definitely #recommend getting some #help with the matter.
It's taken years to be #comfortable in my own skin.
Years of breaking the old records in my head

-And as #Ralph would say, Totally worth it!

It's a freakin #relief, to cry a tiny bit in a #movie theatre at a moving point in the film, without having to expend all the extra #energy in "did someone see me?"
#exhausting!

and that's just one tiny perk :)

I #lookforward to-
