Recliner, cat in my lap, heart beating faster than I expected. I've voted in every election since I was 18 — none felt like this one. A vote is the floor, not the ceiling. New post + why I'm showing up Oct 17: 👇 darrelltucci.substack.com/p/i-voted-an... 🧡

25 years ago, I survived 9/11 in Lower Manhattan. Living with that trauma taught me what real solidarity looks like—and why we can't let political lies rewrite that day. New Forward Together essay on truth, healing, and action: darrelltucci.substack.com/p/twenty-fiv...

Watched the Rent 30th anniversary reunion last night under my signed subway poster and sang along until my voice gave out. Then I wrote about what a 1996 musical still knows about 2026. No day but today. darrelltucci.substack.com/p/no-day-but... #Rent #LGBTQ

Our first amendment rights under unprecedented assault. The contrast couldn't be starker-while ABC News caves to political pressure by canceling Jimmy Kimmel, Trump and his allies freely spread dangerous rhetoric that incites violence. darrelltucci.substack.com/p/forward-to...

I’m proud to stand with women around the world working toward a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive. Together we can forge gender equality. Collectively for #IWD2025 we can all #AccelerateAction.

To my transgender and nonbinary friends, I see you, I stand with you, I have shoulders to lean on if you need them and I will fight for you as we need to. An exec order by a bully in the White House does not and cannot remove your existence. It cannot reduce you or diminish how wonderful you are. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

Today, we recognize and commemorate Dr. MLK Jr.’s leadership and legacy in advancing a more equitable and just society. And, while we face a rise of authoritarian power in our nation today, we recommit ourselves to our individual and organizational commitments to social justice.

A new report by UNAIDS, “Take the rights path to end AIDS” shows that the world can meet the agreed goal of ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 – but only if leaders protect the human rights of everyone living with and at risk of HIV.
