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. 🇺🇲🏳️‍🌈✊️

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…

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."

…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 #NY22 race again.
