    This means the world to trans people like my wife, who have faced an onslaught of discrimination over the past four years.

    To transgender and gender-nonconforming people across America and around the world: from the moment I am sworn in as president, know that my administration will see you, listen to you, and fight for not only your safety but also the dignity and justice you have been denied.

    The answer is clear. is the candidate who supports the LGBTQIA community, and our families and friends need to realize our rights, livelihoods, and safety are under threat when they vote for Trump.

    I'm a gay physician-scientist with Harvard and Yale training, and I research health. Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation next week likely means more LGBTQ people like me will die early. Here's why (a thread) 🧵(1/8)

    Six days after Trump told the far-right Proud Boys group to "stand back and stand by," internet users have reclaimed the hashtag and keyword phrase, flooding Twitter and Reddit with photos of gay men in love and expression physical affection.

    Cool of Trump to put his secret service detail at risk of getting covid so that he can wave at the proud boys and QAnon fans outside of Walter Reed

    That’s Trump driving by his supporters outside Walter Reed military hospital.

    If you’ve got a blue checkmark and a platform and you’re not calling out the moment the president refused to denounce white supremacy then you’re part of the problem.

    Joe Biden spent the final moments of the debate urging Americans to vote. Donald Trump spent the final moments of the debate trying to suppress and discount those votes. Vote like our democracy depends on it—because it does.

    This is how democracy dies. A president so desperate to cling to power that he won’t commit to a peaceful transition of power. That he seeks to throw out millions of votes. And a Republican Party too craven to say a word. But we will fight back. America belongs to the people.

    Reporter: "Win, lose or draw in this election, will you commit here today for a peaceful transferal of power after the election?" President Trump: "We're going to have to see what happens."

    A mindset enabled by the Electoral College. A president who knows he won’t win blue states can punish them, sacrifice them, undercut them, trash them—there’s no electoral penalty. Those states don’t matter to him. Their residents’ votes don’t matter.

    We're used to it, but it's a big difference between the parties when Rs use a phrase like "Democrat states." Try to imagine a D convention speaker speaking about how, like, Mississippi didn't deserve something.
