I'll admit: A part of me still wants to say, "But why? He clearly presents as a man."

Know what though? There's no good reason it should bother me. Or you.

As Jesus said: "Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two."

In this case, just say "them," not "him."
If it bothers me, that's a me problem—not a Sam Smith problem.

So what if you or I think it's weird? I think "normal" ppl are weird all the time. I think I'm weird most of it.

What does it cost me to honor someone else's supposed "weirdness" with a word? What does it cost you?
You know what I think is really weird? Our obsession with trying to make sure everyone lives in accordance with their genitalia.

Why do we care so much if someone's expression of gender is different? It's not like someone is taking your pronouns away from you.

The office of lt. governor is arguably most powerful position in Mississippi, bc it includes both exec & legislative powers; lt gov is prez of the Senate & can push or kill legislation.

But tonight's debate been @DelbertHosemann & @Jay4Mississippi is just 30 mins long. #MSelex
Tonight's debate starts at 6:30 p.m. and will be on TV stations throughout the state including WJTV (Jackson) WHLT (Hattiesburg) WFNA (Mobile) WMDN (Meridian) WTVA (Tupelo/Columbus) WXXV (Gulfport)— also MS Public Radio & SuperTalk. #MSelex
For more on GOP nominee Delbert Hosemann and Dem nominee Jay Hughes and their positions on the issues, read this story:

Y'all Politics needs a gold medal for for misleading headlines.

The Mississippi AG dropped a report yesterday w bipartisan review from frmr MS justices saying Lt Gov Tate Reeves secretly pushed for $2 million in public $ to build a road outside his private community.

YP:
And note the way the passive "is dropped" really helps mislead the reader into thinking the AGO just gave up on the investigation, rather than that they dropped/released the report.
@DonnerKay, you could add this to your teaching materials

My mentions are now flooded with the Saturday night incel crowd claiming #KamalaIsACop.
This is a shared meme between white Trump neo-cons at the Federalist and Breitbart and Bernie Sanders supporters.
Horseshoe politics always seems to intersect at white male privilege.
So: @MeghanMcCain's husband, @bdomenech, sells #KamalaIsACop T-shirts at @FDRLST.
The photoshopped image of Harris is from @willchamberlain, formerly of Breitbart, currently attacking Harris for knowing the Amazon rainforest is on fire--lead issue at #G7. Harris is not a cop.
Also, #KamalaHarris is not the only former prosecutor in the Democratic race.
There is a difference between wanting changes in the carceral system and targeting the only black woman candidate for president for having been a prosecutor.

#KamalaHarris is strikingly consistent in her beliefs and objectives in reforming the flawed criminal justice system.
This thread delves into a 2004 LA Times profile of #Kamala and how consistent her ideals then are with what she has accomplished over 15 yrs & still proposes.

#KamalaHarris was a trailblazer as a first in each office she held- SF DA, CA AG, US Senator. BUT let's keep it in perspective that each of these roles were in institutions that existed for over 140+yrs. Change is hard yet #Kamala accomplished a great deal

🏆In the astonishingly corrupt world of politics in Washington today, it is important to acknowledge people that do the right thing no matter the consequences. I think we should acknowledge the 58 members of the 115th Congress who did the right thing.

#ImpeachTrump
🥇These members of the 115th Congress didn’t think about the political ramifications, their reputations or the timing; they just voted honorably not to table the measure to impeach a prez who is clearly not abiding by the law or representing our country the way it deserves to be.
🏆Most of these members of the 115th Congress are still in Congress, but some are Governors or in new positions. One member, Louise Slaughter D-NY, sadly died in 2018. More on her later.

🌎Donald Trump—🌪️Roger Stone—🔥Paul Manafort—🌬️Roy Cohn
There are so many connections between these four gentlemen, but the common thread between them all appears to be Roger Stone.

washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/…
🔪But Stone’s rules: “Attack, attack, attack—never defend” and “Admit nothing, deny everything, launch counterattack.” This “advice” came via renowned attorney Roy Cohn, who represented Donald Trump late in Cohn’s life.

vanityfair.com/news/2017/06/d…
🌬️Cohn’s "original" 3-dimensional strategy via @vanityfair article: 1. Never settle, never surrender. 2. Counter-attack, counter-sue immediately. 3. No matter what happens, no matter how deeply into the muck you get, claim victory and never admit defeat.”

🍊Sound familiar?

According to Chuck Todd, host of @MTPDaily, this tweet is a “tell” that Donald Trump is panicked about the effort from 18 Republican Attorneys General to challenge the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in court▶️seeking to end protections for those with pre-existing conditions. #LieGate
⚡️It’s certainly not a good look for Republicans less than 3 weeks from the November Election.

▶️Neither is talking about separating more children from their parents and putting them in cages
▶️Neither is talking about stripping Social Security & Medicare programs
▶️Neither is protecting the murderers of a respected journalist, then using money as the reason and inflating the numbers while you’re doing it

🔗Link to lawsuit against the ACA:

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
