I've been targeted by the local chapter of the "Moms For Liberty" hate group. So, I was apprehensive, but glad I attended the rally today. The only way to overcome hate is to stand up to it & confront it with the truth. Equality and human rights are worth fighting for. 🇺🇲🏳️🌈✊️
Buddhist chants at the candlelight vigil for Nyah Mway are punctuated by an attendee saying, "It's going to get worse if we all don't stick together."

Dozens of people braved the wind & rain Saturday afternoon to support students, teachers, librarians, & families w/a “Freedom to Learn and Love Rally,” which sprung up to counter the hate group Moms for Liberty.

I really miss pre-Elon Musk Twitter. It used to be a safer place to interact with anyone from anywhere around the country or the world. Also, it was a great way to find out what topics and issues were trending and what other people thought about them. He badly damaged it…

📺 My brain is so wired to TV that I actually remember this sitcom that lasted for about 3 episodes on
@CBS
back in the late 70s. It was called "In The Beginning," he played a stuffy priest, and she was a fiesty progressive nun who was always getting on his nerves. 📺
Schadenfreude, "satisfaction or pleasure felt at someone else's misfortune," entered English around 1890-95. The word comes from German, and is formed from the words Schaden, "harm," and Freude, "joy."

That’s the only question should be asking. Not shaming people for what thy are using their legally prescribed medicine. Drugs like Ozempic have many uses. It’s nobody’s business who takes it or why.
An expression of grief. Nyah Mway's brother listens as the crowd calls for justice for the death of his brother, who was shot and killed by a Utica Police officer last night.

Remember when this was the scariest guy on TV? 😂 Mark St. Claire really used to freak me out the way he made such awful threats so calmly. 🐍 The actor was named Joseph Chapman. What a great job he did!

In 1978 there weren't many politicians who stood with the LGBTQ community. Dianne Feinstein tried to save her friend Harvey Milk's life and she remained a friend to our community forever after.
May she rest in peace and may her memory be a blessing to all who loved her. 🕊️

Wow. We have backslid so far in regards to civil rights. It's time to stand up and fight back against the Moms For Liberty type hate groups.
…in winning the general election. This time around the Democrats once again bypassed the better, more ambitious, more respectable candidate in favor of a man embroiled in scandal who is unlikable. It’s conceivable that the Onondaga County Democrats cost us the

race again.
This is why so many of my journalistic efforts last year were to educate and raise awareness about Transgender issues. This happens when people don't push back against hate and ignorance.
