Governor Andy Beshear, in a Trump +30 state, gives advice to Democrats: Do not throw LGBTQ+ people under the bus, it will not work.
His advice to dems: Lead on your values.
This man ran on a fully inclusive campaign in 2023 and won. He received the same kind of ads Harris did.

Haven't been able to stop thinking about this clip since I saw it. Forget the government euphemisms you hear about a "limited ground incursion" or "restoring deterrence" -- this is the reality of the war and why it has to end.

It's hard to fathom what else needs to happen for the U.S. to finally and fully withdraw support for a military operation that is this utterly devastating in its human consequences while failing to achieve any of its stated objectives.

I was moved by the protesters at the @glaad awards to investigate the partnership between GLAAD and the Anti-Defamation League. Although the ADL has helped track anti LGBTQ+ hate across the country, they have destroyed their own credibility (cont.)

Healthy women help everyone rise. Highly recommend joining @melindagates’ fireside chat on April 19 with @EU_Commission & @EIB to learn more on why investing in women’s health is the key to healthier families, communities & economies.

🚩New @amnesty investigation: #Israel-i strikes on a group of 7 journalists in south #Lebanon on 13 Oct, which killed Reuters journalist Issam Abdallah & injured 6 others, were likely a direct attack on civilians that must be investigated as a war crime.

Fellow Europeans, Italians, Germans: after the Holocaust, we should instinctively know that Genocide starts with dehumanizing the Other.
If Israel's current attack agst Palestinians doesnt prompt our strong reaction, the darkest page of our recent history has taught us nothing.

If you’re wondering why no one takes the Biden admin seriously when they talk about a 2 state solution, this is why. – at Arlington, VA

It’s clear @POTUS himself is running US Gaza policy and that he has no red lines with regard to Israel’s conduct. The question now is whether those inside the administration have any red lines of their own.

Israeli ground forces are encircling and moving deeper into Gaza City, within 2 km of Gaza’s largest medical facility, al-Shifa Hospital, where staff are overwhelmed by the number of patients amid a month-long blockade & heavy bombardment.

Children and schools should never be targets. This isn’t a matter of opinion — it’s international law.
I continue my call for a ceasefire. The Israeli government must end these indiscriminate attacks that have cost thousands of innocent Palestinian children and families their lives.

Members of #WASL—peacebuilders, mediators, & human rights activists living & working at the frontlines of many of today’s devastating wars—released a statement calling upon global political leaders to demand an immediate ceasefire in Israel & Palestine. icanpeacework.org/2023/11/wa…

Cannot overstate how reckless & irresponsible this is. For Biden admin to publicly rule out 𝘢𝘯𝘺 red lines, just as Israeli ground invasion begins and with total comm’s blackout, is practically inviting Israel to commit mass atrocities.

UN-Resolution Waffenstillstand:
* Frankreich und Spanien dafür;
* Österreich und Tschechien dagegen;
* Deutschland und Niederlande enthalten sich.
Europa spricht mal wieder nicht mit einer, sondern mit vielen Stimmen.👇

“If Israel proceeds to make good on its threats to turn Gaza into flattened pavement, it’s all the more clear that “never again” does not apply to Arab or Muslim lives.”
