13 years ago, I joined twitter because jaybakker told me to. We should always listen to Jay. #MyTwitterAnniversary

@RemoveRon So proud of my amazing husband Jakob Hero-Shaw and our fabulous daughter @missspronounce making some good trouble in Tallahassee.#SayGay

Do me a favor and say gay.

.MCC Tampa's Rev. Jakob Hero-Shaw was among the organizers who assembled in Tallahassee to speak out against Florida's "Don't Say Gay or Trans" bill. Read about it in our current print edition at ow.ly/bVXM50ImNgg and online here: ow.ly/hFSh50ImNen

DeSantis won with less than half of a percentage point. He can be defeated — and we're going to do it.

DeSantis wants us fighting each other so we don’t focus on fighting the inequality plaguing Florida.

This is how I’m excusing myself from all future meetings Jane Castor

Everyone should learn from Black history. Black prophetic witness doesn't just call for Black people to be free—it moves us toward universal liberation. Racism degrades *all people.* And until we confront the country's foundational white supremacy, we will continue to suffer.

BREAKING: Intending to criminalize transgender Floridians, the Florida Dept of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicle published a memo reversing a policy allowing trans Floridians to update the gender marker on their driver's licenses or IDs. 👇 eqfl.org/sites/default/…

The DeSantis administration’s obsession with scapegoating transgender Floridians has escalated into an outrageous attack that further erodes freedom and liberty in our state.

This cruel policy threatens transgender Floridians with civil and criminal penalties and blocks them from obtaining the critical government-issued identification necessary to continue their daily lives.

Transgender people have always existed in every culture on every continent and always will.

In Florida, tens of thousands of people have legally updated their gender marker on their driver’s license or ID. They carefully followed the rules to ensure their ID accurately reflects who they are. Now, an abrupt policy reversal has thrown their lives into chaos.

The cruelty of this kind of government overreach and intrusion should alarm every Floridian. These reckless and hateful policies are intended to make the transgender community feel unsafe and unwelcome in Florida and to bully them out of public life entirely.

We know this is a devastating development, and we are working with our coalition partners, our grassroots volunteers and our legal groups to figure out what options are available to fight back.

These attacks on the transgender community are part of a political operation. It’s manufactured panic from right-wing think tanks who asked what culture war issue would rile people up now that the vast majority embrace marriage equality. nytimes.com/2023/04/16/us/…

That moment when you’re looking at tweets of hateful conspiracy theorists and accidentally hit the heart button. FFS, I almost deleted my account to keep that like from popping up in folks timelines.

Too bad he blocked me after he sent this. Missed an opportunity to correct his grammar. I wouldn’t even bother with his terrible theology.
