Woke up to the dreamiest news ever and still can’t quite believe it. I couldn’t be more proud of this film and the wonderful people who made it. Thank you, @DesireeeAkhavan @CFparkville @mdotclark @ParkvillePics, and the *incredible* cast and crew who made this real. x.com/variety/status/9574695…

Did a lot of closeted-queer-crying alone in my room to The Cranberries. And when, in our twenties, my dearest childhood friend was killed, the music at a gathering celebrating her life was mostly The Cranberries. Thank you, Dolores. #DoloresORiordan

A thread of #MLK speeches and sermons in which he speaks truth to power, shares about his philosophy of nonviolence and expounds on issues of injustice and what our righteous, rigorous response should be. Relevant. Revelatory. Revolutionary. #MLKDay #MLK50Forward

Sad to to see this headline: “Measure to Ban Discredited ‘Conversion Therapy’ Fails in New Hampshire” via @NYTimes. Wish reps who voted against the ban would read Miseducation of Cameron Post by @emdanforth. #BibliotherapyAboutConversionTherapy nytimes.com/2018/01/10/us/co…

This took my breath away in disbelief, and given what a horror-show of a year we’ve had, that’s getting harder and harder to do.
Here’s how you attempt to erase people and science and *essential facts of our existence* as you write the next chapter of your dystopian nightmare. x.com/kylegriffin1/status/94…

Trump officials are forbidding the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from using 7 words in official docs being prepared for next year’s budget: “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “diversity,” “transgender,” “fetus,” “evidence-based,” “science-based.”

The @FCC just voted to kill #NetNeutrality. BUT the fight isn't over.
Congress can #StopTheFCC and overrule their vote using the Congressional Review Act. We need each and every one of us to keep the pressure on Congress. Here's how: BattleForTheNet.com

BREAKING: The FCC just voted to dismantle #netneutrality. This represents a radical departure that risks erosion of the biggest free speech platform the world has ever known.

Waking up to the news that Alabama is sending Doug Jones to the Senate feels incredible. Thank you, black women for getting Doug to Washington.
White women, come the fuck on.

I had the best time talking to @mollypriddy about THE MISEDUCATION OF CAMERON POST movie and both of us growing up queer in Montana so of course knowing people in common. (And fishing caves, though that part got cut.) x.com/mollypriddy/status/940…

You cannot silence me or the millions of women who have gotten off the sidelines to speak out about the unfitness and shame you have brought to the Oval Office. x.com/realdonaldtrump/status…

Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office “begging” for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!
