I have seen and felt the devastating effects this word has had on people with intellectual abilities throughout my life. My brother cried every time someone would call him this word. Please watch the video below and remember that words matter. We can do better.
On this #ThrowbackThursday, remember that your words have power and they matter.
Let’s be intentional. Let’s be compassionate. Let's #ChooseToInclude and stop using the R-word, today and always.

I hate to break to Trump but Two-Spirit (trans) people have existed here in North America for thousands of years. They predate the arrival of white people and their “Christianity.” Trans people will be here long after Trump is dead and gone.

BREAKING: The esteemed Virginia Theological Seminary releases a powerful statement supporting Bishop Mariann Budde after she called out Donald Trump to his face and became MAGA's Public Enemy #1.
This just poured fuel on the fire...
"We are proud of our alumna Bishop Marianne Budde for her faithfulness to the Biblical witness. To ask a President to be merciful is in the tradition of the prophets of the Hebrew Bible," the school's president Ian Markham president and dean wrote on Facebook.
"While the overwhelming response VTS has received about her sermon has been positive, we have also received various complaints about our work because of her training in our Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry programs," Markham continued.
"To be clear, we teach the Gospel as reflected in Holy Scripture. We support and stand alongside our Bishop alumna," he bluntly added.
This is the kind of courage that this moment in history demands. For daring to suggest that our so-called Christian president should show mercy and compassion, Bishop Budde has been inundated with hatred.
She stated that many Republicans now "wish me dead" thanks to her sermon at the National Cathedral and still she refuses to apologize or back down.
The Virginia Theological Seminary is the largest accredited Episcopal seminary in the United States and the second oldest. Donald Trump picked a fight with our nation's religious leaders. He's losing badly.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you also proudly support Bishop Budde's sermon — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

So proud of my #starwars heroes, Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford for endorsing Harris-Walz ticket. Wish Carrie Fisher was here to see us elect our first woman president. No doubt she would be chiming in!

Leslie Stahl’s interview isn’t a one-off atrocity. It’s just one symptom of the media turning a blind eye to fascism.
In just the last two weeks alone, the mainstream media have refused to recognize the threat posed by the Republican party and its de facto leader, Donald Trump.
First, they based an entire week of reporting and analysis on Donald’s social media post that falsely claimed he was going to be arrested on March 21.
Then, 60 Minutes made the confounding decision to give a platform to insurrectionist and fascist Marjorie Taylor Greene.
The Republican Party has fallen in line behind Donald and, now that indictments against him have been announced, they will stop at nothing to undermine the American people’s faith in the rule of law. Donald’s attacks on social media against NY DA Alvin Bragg have already resulted in an avalanche of death threats.
But just as they did in 2016, the media keep giving Donald millions of dollars worth of air time.
It’s time for the media to take sides—democracy or fascism.
It shouldn’t be that fucking hard.

During the worst years of the AIDS crisis, Angela Lansbury was a staple at AIDS benefits, helping raise millions of dollars to fund AIDS research & patient care. "This illness is robbing us of our friends and our futures. This disease knows no discrimination."
