Sessions announces 'religious liberty task force'. The DOJ has rolled back institutional support for protecting rights for LGBTQ Americans while increasing support for Christains (let's be real, the admin isnt protecting anyone's right to say allahu akbar) thehill.com/regulation/adm…
The DOJ defending Christains instead of the #LGBTQ Americans is a farce. Show me the young Christian children bullied to suicide bc of his religion, the reverend denied service, the church choir group denied housing, the Christain mother fired bc she loves Jesus. #LoveIsLove
Im done giving family & friends a pass. There is one party which believes I deserve all of the same rights, protections, dignity, and respect straight Americans are entitled too and another party which believes the bible says I am a sinner. There are no other issues. #LoveIsLove
Swing/independent voters who voted Trump, Stein, or Johnson abandoned their LGBTQ sons, daughters, brothers, cousins, neighbors and friends to be stripped of hard won rights at the earliest convenient moment, because they couldn't bring themselves to vote for the email lady.
The Religious Liberty Task Force is just a way to reverse gains made by LGBTQ Americans per Christian evangelicals. I'd bet my life on the notion if your religion said str8 people were evil or Allah was the 1 true God you'd b laughed out of the DOJ for even asking for protection

"If you don't like me working with President Trump to make the world a better place, I don't give a shit."
Lindsey Graham has done gone lost his mind. History will not be kind to him.
"I have argued to you that when you found that a judge was a perjurer, you couldn’t in good conscience send him back in a courtroom because everybody that came in that courtroom thereafter would have a real serious doubt."
— @LindseyGrahamSC (January 1999)
Lindsey Graham (2018): "He's not Bill Cosby, he's had power over women in the workplace...If you went to a party once where people are being drugged and gang-raped, you wouldn't go to the next nine."
The classic "he's not Bill Cosby" defense. #Kavanaugh
Irreparable damage has been done to immigrant children at the hands of our government. It's been 66 days since the Trump admin failed to adhere to a court's deadline to reunite children and parents. Many of these kids/parents will NEVER be reunited.
"In shelters from Kansas to NY, hundreds of migrant children have been roused in the middle of the night in recent weeks and loaded onto buses with backpacks and snacks for a cross-country journey to their new home: a barren tent city...in West Texas" esquire.com/news-politics/…
Brett Kavanaugh's opening statement makes him seem overtly political. Not a good look for a Judge hoping to be a Supreme Court Justice. #KavanaughHearings
HOLY SHIT!!! Did Brett Kavanaugh really just say this is a political hit by the Clintons?!! Really?! The GOP playbook is so predictable, and getting old, when in doubt blame the email lady. #KavanaughHearings
I cant even pay attention to the rest of Brett Kavanaugh's opening statement I am still dumbfounded that Kavanaugh really just said that this is a plot by the Clintons. How, why, what? How could HRC have orchestrated this? Its just utterly ridiculous. #KavanaughHearings
BREAKING: Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein denies a NYT report that he suggested last year he secretly record Trump to expose chaos in the administration. According to the Times Rosenstein also floated the idea of trying to remove Trump through the 25th Amendment. apnews.com/e84a4acdb42641…
Rod Rosenstein should know better than to joke about something like the 25th Amendment. Especially in the era of Trump.
