I have diligently (and enviously) watched everyone’s videos of JCS at the Hollywood bowl and I am eternally grateful for your service.
TRUE STORY: @adamlambert and I sang “heaven on their minds” together while I was directing this campaign:

My statement on the Trump administration's illegal military actions and the wars that must end.
ALT Donald Trump ran for President promising to end wars, not start new ones. Today’s unconstitutional military action represents a new, dark chapter in his endless series of betrayals that now threaten to plunge the world deeper into chaos. In a city as global as ours, the impacts of war are felt deeply here at home. I am thinking of the New Yorkers with loved ones in harm’s way.
While Donald Trump bears immediate responsibility for this illegal escalation, these actions are the result of a political establishment that would rather spend trillions of dollars on weapons than lift millions out of poverty, launch endless wars while silencing calls for peace, and fearmonger about outsiders while billionaires hollow out our democracy from within.
For Americans middle aged and younger, this is all we have known. We cannot accept it any longer.
It would be incredible if everyone spent their last day on twitter urging National Archivist @AOTUS11_Shogan to ovary up and publish & certify the ERA as the 28th Amendment following Biden’s statement. #EqualityNow
Today I'm affirming what I have long believed and what three-fourths of the states have ratified:
The 28th Amendment is the law of the land, guaranteeing all Americans equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their sex.
ALT President Biden declares the Equal Rights Amendment is now the law of the land
guarantees all Americans equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their sex
Community note
The text of the Equal Rights Amendment contained a ratification deadline. The amendment was not ratified by the requisite number of states prior that deadline. While some states have ratified the amendment post-deadline, other states have revoked their ratification.

I love my IRL karaoke friends and I also love my parasocial @dimension20show friends so I can tug my ear at them for the phrase “alter emo” (photo by @jayasax)
I went to a bar mitzvah at a reform synagogue & read all the footnotes in the siddur & learned that the early reform judaism movement was anti-zionist and: they have short services with musical instruments and ALSO have roots in thinking correctly??! AND NO ONE TOLD ME?!
I’m so excited to see @alyankovic at tomorrow night’s @ComicReliefUS gala and I decided to rewatch the documentary “the compleat al” that we rented every weekend.

So much of this went so far over my head as an 8 year old
