One of our nation’s greatest heroes and my personal hero, Liz Holtzman, is quoted quite extensively in this article. Knowing this history helps inform us during these exponentially more perilous times. washingtonpost.com/politics/…

It's a beautiful day in the West Village to remind New Yorkers that abortion is on the ballot. Vote "YES" on Prop 1 to enshrine the right to abortion in our state constitution and make sure it's always protected in New York. It's your body, and it should always be your choice.

Alexis Grenell is my #1 go to — this article articulates better than I am possibly able to-when it was published and still today. I direct people to read this article when asked about my thoughts. And, please don’t ever miss any @agrenell content. So smart.

Whose sick? Leonard Leo. Transphobia is a sickness. Homophobia is a sickness. HIV/AIDS phobias as well. All are phobias used as defense (historically and today) to rationalize perpetration of violence against LGBTQIA persons and persons living with HIVAIDS. LL=sick judges.

Mr. Netanyahu, antisemitism is a vile and disgusting form of bigotry that has done unspeakable harm to millions. Do not insult the intelligence of the American people by attempting to distract us from the immoral and illegal war policies of your extremist and racist government.

At a time when nuance relating to international conflicts and protests here at home is more important than ever, too many so-called "leaders" are fanning the flames of hate and misunderstanding, demanding we choose a side. Here is what I believe. I choose the side of humanity.

🚨BUSTED: Donald Trump has made a HUGE issue every day about having to spend his days in court, at the election interference criminal trial in New York City, instead of campaigning around the country. So you'd think on his day off from court, Wednesday, he would use that precious time to meet some of those voters on the campaign trail, right? WRONG. He was doing the activity he enjoys as much as he enjoys crime: Golf, per Kristen Holmes at CNN. Because priorities.
