Tim Walz is the opposite of toxic masculinity. Truly he’s the solution to it. He is a good man and he will be a role model for millions of men in this country.

I’m flying first class on @AmericanAir —the only person of color up here. The flight attendant literally took everyone’s drink order but mine. The guy sitting next to me turned to me and said “what the fuck was that about?!” When micro aggressions aren’t so small 🙄

What we should really be asking ourselves re: Project 2025 is why we don’t have one of our own? Imagine if Dems had a comprehensive vision and agenda for this country. Instead we tell people what to be against but not a strategy of what we’re for and how we’ll achieve it.

@AmericanAir Yup that’s what I just said… No compensation or reparation besides “We’re sorry that you perceived the situation that way.” I’m happy to post the email I was sent afterwards if you would like me to further show how little accountability was taken from your company.

@spartanqueen100 @KylieJaneKremer I hate how people just say stuff that isn’t true. U.S. military members do salute the Vice President. The Vice President is a civilian and not in the chain of command, but as the second-highest executive officer in the country, they are accorded military honors, including salutes
