Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
I would actually really love to see our government legislate this. We get 12 months for parental leave here, a year or two I figure makes good sense 🏳️⚧️ 💞 🇨🇦
My dating advice for straight men is dump your misogynistic friends.
Really, though. If you dig into the research, being friends with men who blame all their problems on women is one of the biggest predictors of a lot of bad things for men. Especially in dating.
Every year, the IRS loses over a 100 billion dollars because it doesn't tax businesses called "churches." Look into that waste, Elon!

Being tired after years of struggle isn't the same as being "weak." The most capable athlete is tired after running a marathon-- and you've been running marathon after marathon, for years, just staying alive.
You're not "weak." You're exhausted.
I used to sing this to my daughter when she was very small and it feels more relevant and important daily.
Mothers tell your children
Be quick, you must be strong
Life is full of wonder
Love is never wrong
Remember how they taught you
How much of it was fear…

every positive improvement in my life lets me feel more accepting of myself, which in turn reveals more dysphoria and calcified trauma i've repressed which knocks me back down while i care for this wounded, newly awakened aspect that, once integrated, lets me feel more accepting of myself, which —
it’s “disability rights!” until an autistic person does something autistic near you and it’s too much for you to handle, so you just ice them out. or you meet an autistic person who’s too different from “that one good autistic” you know.
This what happens when a man who should really be just a regular, run-of-the-mill sleazy used-car salesman becomes president.
Like. This guy is every small business shit bag boss you’ve ever had, fucking you out of your full bonus and winning the poker tournament.
THIS is why I don’t understand cis women who are anti-trans!!
Are you so fucking enamoured of the boot on your throat that you would denigrate some of the ONLY people who will see you for WHO and WHAT you are instead of what you can PROVIDE?
Anyone needing some loving mom energy, listen up:
If you don’t like your body, it’s okay to change it. This shell is not a prison, but a vessel, and that vessel is yours to alter as you deem fit.
Get those big tits, up your hormones, do what feels correct for you. Fuck ANYONE who denigrates you.
You alone get to decide what beauty means in the context of your form.
It doesn’t matter what other ppl think about it.
This is your life and you deserve to feel as much like yourself as you are able.
You deserve to love yourself and, if you can’t yet, I’ll do the work for you. I love you.
Capitalism 😃
1960: dream big, work hard and you too can be rich, fellow friend

2020: DIE FOR THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS, WORM. SACRIFICE GRANDMA TO PROFIT. YOUR BLOOD MUST BE SPILT TO SHORE UP THE ECONOMY. PRAISE GOD AND THE MONEY ABOVE HIM

Gordie Howe was the nicest person you could ever meet in public.
But on the ice, he was called “mean as a rattlesnake,” and "tougher than a night in jail.”
Push Gordie, and your teeth met his elbows.
Gordie didn't back down, and neither does Canada.
