I cannot fathom why any reputable person, news organization, or public institution would still want to be on ‘X’, if Elon Musk allows “free” speech for neo-NAZIs, but bans the ADL. #antisemitism

Why didn't Ron DeSantis meet with Biden to accept Hurricane aid?
Chris Christie's Obama handshake.
As my friend Macacawitz said,
"Christie will never live down this act of gratitude and common decency. No place for those character attributes in the MAGAt party"

Compare to Trump, who made Governor's grovel to get COVID supplies. (Remember that?)

@AlliFlowers Exactly.

For what it’s worth: I transitioned in 2001. I was still at Univeristy. I spent the majority of the next 15 years not being out. I changed that when I realised that my being more public about my past helped normalise and educate. It also helped others see that life can go on, despite what some horrendous people want you to believe.

There are days when it doesn’t feel like that, especially in today’s climate. But what kind of person (and mother) would I be if I didn’t stand proud and advocate?

@AlliFlowers the same way I’m guessing that your cancer story is part of your past? it’s something that is part of me. Life is made up of good and bad bits, like everyone else?

At the same time, by acknowledging who I am and my life story, and by being authentic to myself and my life, I hope I can help others on similar journeys, whatever their particular challenges.

His buffoonery would have flopped on the first day if journalists had done their job instead of translating for him. On the 2016 campaign trail, he'd spew random, wandering verbal vomit and they'd recraft it so it more or less matched up with standard GOP party platform statements. Comparing his actual words to what they printed was a shocking eye opener, but nobody picked up on that story.
