#journorequest: looking to speak with trans people who voted/tried to vote in the 2020 election (especially in PA, AZ, NV, and GA) for a story about US trans voting rights and disenfranchisement. Feel free to DM me, and please lmk if you know anyone who’d like to talk!

WATCH: In this moment of political division & white supremacist violence, Bend the Arc asked faith leaders for moral guidance.
Powerful words from @pastortraci, Imam Dawud Walid, @SikhProf, @ZenChangeAngel, & @SharonBrous.
Inclusive, multiracial democracy is our sacred duty.

The election results will have revealed that we have more Americans committed to racism than we thought we might.
That sucks.

One fun tip is to begin all his tweets with “Mommy, “
Why are Republicans allowing the Democrats to have ridiculous Post Office hearings on Saturday & Monday, just before and during our Convention. Let them hold them NOW (during their Convention) or after our Convention is over. Always playing right into their hands! @senatemajldr

If we pay attention to her, History reminds us that populations don't become monstrous overnight, that nations don't abandon humanity in a single moment.
There is always a slow, deliberate, almost imperceptible pattern.
We're seeing it now in America.

Today’s news is about #ICEraids that didn’t happen & #RacistInChief tweets that did. But I talked yesterday w/ a 20-yr veteran organizer on the border about how this admin has radically altered immigration norms since family separation crisis last year. Here’s what’s happening...

Trump literally just called this woman Tina Belcher teapaw.org/mohamedbarakat/status/…
So Swalwell's primary campaign stance is "old people bad, young people good"? I'm not a huge fan of Biden or even Bernie at this point, but whining over and over about passing the torch doesn't make you a good candidate; it makes you a entitled, egotistical, brat.

Buttigieg on religious hypocrisy: "For a party that associates itself with Christianity to suggest that God would smile on the division of families at the hands of Federal agents... and condone putting children in cages has lost all claim to ever use religious language again."

Thread about airplane creeps: I’m on a plane from a late-evening stopover from and was very tired and had a row to myself to sleep but couldn’t avoid noticing what was going on in the row behind me.
Such a fan of Barbara Brown Taylor's books. I need to add her latest one to my reading list.
We had a wonderful conversation with Barbara Brown Taylor about her new book, “Holy Envy: Finding God in the Faith of Others”. We’ll give one copy of it to a random person (in the US) who RTs this link to our conversation with her. pulpitfiction.com/notes/tns6…
