Some exciting news from us here at @hrc.org - and it's always funny to me that Playbook calls this section 'transitions'
Screenshot from Politico's Playbook newsletter:

"TRANSITIONS... Human Rights Campaign is adding Kate Childs Graham as chief strategy officer, Sharon McGowan as SVP of policy and litigation, Laura MacCleery as VP of policy and law, Densil Porteous as VP of volunteer leadership, Ramiro Sarmiento as national press secretary and Mo Jenkins as Texas state director"

"I just hate how woke, how lefty, Star Trek is now. I miss back when I was a kid and it just wasn't political at all." Star Trek: The Next Generation on March 16, 1992:
Soren, a character from the Star Trek: TNG episode "The Outcast," giving a speech with the caption "I am female. I have had these feelings all of my life."

@hrc.org prez @kelleyjrobinson.bsky.social on ABC News just now: "There's nowhere that's free from the scourge of gun violence. We all have to remember Pulse as a call to action. To stand up for love. To stand up for dignity. And to end this gun violence epidemic that is plaguing our communities."

As seen in @politico.com Playbook - we ran an ad on Grindr for partygoers at last night's Grindr party and tonight's White House Correspondents' Dinner. Because HIV prevention and treatment should be fully funded, and everyone should stay safe--no matter who they go home with.
Politico Playbook hit with the text shared aboveAn ad saying "F** around, find out - prep isn't partisan, it's protection"
