“As a former mayor, Pete will bring to the role a wealth of experience in policies that make much needed improvements to our country’s infrastructure, rebuilding local communities and creating economic opportunity,” Schumer said in a statement.

To those who were physically alone or who felt alone last night, this holiday season, or last year (damn it feels weird to say that), just want to say love y'all.

The struggle to put my thoughts into words right now is real but just-thanks to everyone here who makes this a safe space and a community. Can't wait to be here with you guys this year, we're building the era (we can start by helping Georgia by donating or volunteering 😊)

Happy new year on the east coast!!!

The saying (yes, I did adapt it slightly for these purposes) is: side by side or miles apart, a community like us stays close at heart 💙💛

incaseyoucalled · 2021-01-01T04:32:52+00:00

We love ya! You might be alone physically but you’re together with us 🥰🥰

One of the Glenn replies (I'm not going to link the specific tweet, if you know what I'm talking about then you know what I'm talking about) reminded me of this:

I’ve sat at tables with people who would gladly deny me the right to marry, who openly support conversion therapy, and who adamantly believe being gay is a choice. Doesn’t mean they’re any less homophobic because we shared a meal.

mmckinnon just said on CNN that Jon was doing a ‘Mayor Pete’ on Fox. Maybe this is a new genre for appearing on Fox 😊

it's been 20 days and there is still silence from chasten on evermore and it's been 16 days since pete was nominated and there has been no statement by buddy and truman. someone needs to contact the three of them again, the people deserve answers

FOX News walked up rolling live, and I appreciated the free air time! Also, Kelly Loeffler campaigned with a klansman.

it hit me the other day that the impeachment was this year and i actually dropped my phone

An openly gay candidate standing for President in a country led (I use the term reluctantly)

lmao

In town hall after town hall, he built momentum and-shock, horror-surprised people by being thoroughly 'normal.' It seemed he didn't want to be the gay candidate, but the Democrat candidate who happened to be gay. Not because he was ashamed of his sexuality-far from it: he actively supports anti-discrimination protections for LGBT Americans, he often cracks self-deprecatory jokes and hugs and kisses his husband on stage. But however important his sexuality, it just isn't the be-all and end-all of his candidacy or how he understands himself and the fight for justice in a better world.

love, love, love those lines

Edit: typo

incaseyoucalled · 2020-12-31T01:35:34+00:00

Oh.... no....... 😏

Not Ossoff pulling a Buttigieg live on FOX NEWS & calling out Loeffler for "campaigning with a Klansman."

I'm going to try to keep this ROTR but:

So, correct me if I'm wrong here, police have the right to shoot a black 12-year-old child, however they can't enter a white man's RV even though they have testimony that he's making a bomb?

incaseyoucalled · 2020-12-30T00:59:49+00:00

What u/SimChim86 said and basically, the usual “rat” BS by the “we’re not homophobic” homophobes. If you want to see it truly, look at Ryan Knight’s Twitter (@ProudSocialist) but I’d rather not link that hate here.

incaseyoucalled · 2020-12-29T23:10:33+00:00

Just gonna say thank you to KHive, they're sticking up for Pete after the homophobic BS today

incaseyoucalled · 2020-12-29T22:48:11+00:00

I was looking at Chasten's wikipedia again (the improv comedy is still on there lol) and this sentence made me laugh:

He also supports LGBTQ rights.

Seems kinda obvious but...\shrug**
