    In this end-of-year piece, I reflect on what younger me has to say to older me (and vice versa) -- and on how what I learned from as a Senate intern so many years ago gives me hope that in 2022 we can turn a corner.

    Yesterday, we sent a joint letter along with to members of the Kosovo Parliament – urging lawmakers to include marriage for same-sex couples (and not a lesser substitute) in the updated civil code. It's time for the freedom to marry in Kosovo! 🇽🇰

    As the / Freedom to Marry Global joint letter makes clear, in today’s world there are countries aspiring to the values of liberal democracy and pluralism and those on the corrupt, divisive path of the likes of Putin. It’s time for to affirm the . 🇽🇰

    "As lawmakers in Kosovo continue to legislate in this area, we urge them to end the exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage, rather than creating some new, other legal regime." It's time for to recognize families.

    Think about this. Minority leader of an American political party is defending Putin. What happened to these people that they became so drunk with power they would defend a dictator murdering thousands? Russia invades Ukraine destabilizing energy prices & he blames America?

    These are not Putin gas prices. They are President Biden gas prices.

    Here's a podcast interview I did a few days ago with Eric Resnick at GAYWAVES in Ohio. We covered a lot of ground.

    That moment when you slow down for a minute and are hit, overwhelmed, once again by the rage and the grief, by how bone-crushingly unfair and monstrous this all is, for this small, insecure men to destroy so many lives for absolutely nothing.

    News flash: If you outlaw abortions, stop people from voting, ban discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity in classrooms, and criminalize providing gender affirming care for trans youth, you're not the party of "limited government."

    Reminder: Putin’s means of keeping Western liberal democracy at bay isn’t just to invade Ukraine. It’s also to stoke division inside the West by fueling racist nationalism in Western Europe and the United States. Trump and Trumpism continue to be Putin’s most important ally.

    If ever we needed to see the connection between support for authoritarianism domestically and for authoritarian thugs internationally this is it. The same people who defend Jan. 6, defend Putin. It's all of a piece.

    (This can be seen, too, in how Trump and America’s own anti-democrats — the Republican Party, Fox, etc. — are aligning with Putin against the West). 🇺🇸

    Vladimir Putin is a corrupt dictator. He has raped the Russian people to make himself rich at their expense. And now he is attacking a sovereign democracy, killing innocent civilians, and ending 75 years of global stability. He is evil. Let this despicable act be his undoing.

    “In the centuries-long struggle between autocracy and democracy, between dictatorship and freedom, Ukraine is now the front line—and our front line too.”

    On Monday, Putin said Ukraine does not exist. Last night, he began his bid to wipe it from the map. But Ukraine is a real place, with a real history, and it will never be erased.

    While Biden sanctions Putin, Trump praises him. There is, and always has been, a strand of consistency in Trump's erratic foreign policy: He admires violence, he admires dictators, he hates American allies, he hates democracies.

    Trump says Putin's military move on Ukraine is "genius." "Putin is now saying, 'It’s independent,' a large section of Ukraine. I said, 'How smart is that?' And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper... We could use that on our southern border." "Here’s a guy who’s very savvy."

    As Russia takes steps to violate Ukraine’s sovereignty, the US stands ready — united with our allies — to respond to any invasion of the Donbas with crippling sanctions on the Kremlin. We won’t stand for Russian aggression.

    Happy Twosday, tutti — 2/22/22 (or, if you’re a palindrome person, 22/02/2022). My favorite trivia about today: “on Feb. 22, 2022, our great nation is making its first ‘Pluto Return,’ meaning Pluto will be in the same place it was on July 4, 1776.” 🇺🇸

    Moments before my argument in the case, I felt a tap on my shoulder. Acting SG leaned in & said, "Just remember, you're arguing the hottest case of the term. Go get'em." Walter was smart, kind, generous, & fun -- & a champion of justice.

    The project of the right-wing Supreme Court majority — which exists only because Mitch McConnell stole two seats — is to entrench Republican power. To ensure that SCOTUS protects the rights of the American people, not just the wealthy & powerful, we must .
