A huge thank you to every public librarian out there putting up a pride display today, putting up posters and rainbows and tons of beautiful books by queer authors front and center face out. In this climate of hatred and persecution, you're doing a hard thing. And the right one.

Lauren Boebert, a Colorado right-wing gun extremist and bigot, bears responsibility for the “lawlessness” that killed at least five people and wounded 18 more in Colorado Springs last night.

This is what happens. Devastation and violence.
It starts with words, and continues to lead here, every time.
Book bans.
Don’t say gay.
Violent protests at Pride.
Bans on care for trans kids.
Hundreds of pieces of anti-LGBTQ legislation.
It always leads to this.

Twitter fam, thank you for helping me to find the family of the 9 year old girl from NJ who had the police called on her by her neighbor for collecting lantern flies. I connected with them & invited them to @yale for a Black girl led Science Tour! Yesterday—HISTORY was MADE (1/) – at New Haven, CT

Certain politicians structured their entire campaigns on anti-LGBTQ fearmongering, dedicate countless hours of their time introducing and debating bills targeting LGBTQ people, others are hellbent on banning LGBTQ books. Another shooting. Hate kills.

Six years after the Pulse massacre, waking up on another Sunday — on Transgender Day of Remembrance — to read about a another murderous rampage of gun violence in the place where LGBTQ people are meant to be safe to look, talk, laugh and dance as ourselves is soul crushing. #TDOR

This may be the most important race not on your radar screen.
The R candidate for Sec State in AZ led the battle to overturn the state's election results in '20. He attended the 1/6 insurrection at the Capitol.
And tonight, he is defeated. politico.com/news/2022/11/11…
