Queens, NY I love the arts, museums, city parks, beaches and boardwalks, roller coasters, old school jazz, drives on country roads, walks through the city, and I enjoy reading, cooking, shopping, and when I have a margarita, I have two.

i think the norm is that elected officials should be treated extremely deferentially in these situations and police/agents should be afraid to put their hands on them, and that is clearly not the case

Isn’t she in charge of the LAPD who are shooting the rubber bullets and such? Marines aren’t doing that. She is a hack.

I absolutely do not think that, because I know trans people and providers who care for trans people, and their decisions are always ethical and sound. What you and other rightwing troublemakers are doing are bullying a vulnerable population, especially kids, appallingly, immoral, anti-Christian.

#NowWatching #FilmSky The Matrix (1999) I watch this every couple of years, but this time, with Trump as president and ICE kidnapping people and gooning Democrat leaders, it hits a lot differently than it did just a few years ago.

I don't know what to say about the supreme court ruling except that when I see trans girls get to have a girlhood, I'm besides myself with joy and that I meet so many trans people who were made homeless as children by bigoted parents and that trans kids deserve medical care and social acceptance

Zelensky was a comic, and, oh good god, who would vote for that, but Ukraine took a chance, and they got one fucking hell of a leader. Take a chance. We may get a Zelensky. Cuomo is not that person.

I’ve never understood the protests as a way to influence Trump. I believe they’re important because they’re a way to tell each other that we’re not okay with this. They’re a way to communicate with other Americans and hopefully suppress further normalization of Trumpism in everyday life.

It was the T at the S that created the accepted gay world we live in today. Without the transgenders socking it to the cops on Christopher Street back in 1969, there is no LGBTQ. We would be closeted homosexuals. We are one tribe.

Translation: “This subject makes me, a really old clod, uncomfortable, and I don’t like talking about it, and those people don’t support me, or contribute to my campaign, so this concern is a distraction, and I will focus my attention on something else that I will also bungle.”

The Democrats walked out, who cares? A smarter Democratic group would have countered every accusation against Biden with one against Trump, every instance of frailty matched, until the Republicans give up. They win 99% of the time bc Democrats won’t play to win, always play to lose.

The same people demanding you present a photo ID to vote are perfectly fine with letting you be arrested, handcuffed & thrown into a van by armed men wearing plain clothes, face masks & presenting no identification of any sort.

The kids that are now on therapy will have the hardest time. I hope they can keep themselves safe. Trump and the Republicans certainly covered all angles to ensure there would be minimal support for trans kids. So the community will have to support them.

I don’t understand why Padilla threw away the real political capital he harnessed, but he did, and I have to think, Democrats are simply inept, unable to function competently outside of the (now destroyed) DC bubble.
