Who you sleep with is no one’s business. But being open and public about your sexuality and identity is the most important thing each one of us can give to our cities and communities. Without visibility we have no power, we have no identity, we have no community. Period. We’re all alone if each one of us is not visible and honest.
HUFF POST: Bernie Sanders would erase ALL student debt. I am 100% for this. We can afford it, it is positive, it would be a boon for the economy and a leg up for a generation choked by the fact that previous generations are living and working longer — so what if we didn't get grandfathered in? That's on us for not electing the right leaders in time.
JOE.MY.GOD.: Alarming — acceptance of LGBTQ people has declined among young people. Overall, it held at 49% (it has been as high as 53%), but young Americans, ages 18-34, went from 53% to 45% positive and comfortable with LGBTQ people. The decline has been attributed to the rise of Trump and targeting by right-wing sites.

TWITTER: E. Jean Carroll, the writer who came forward last week to allege a rape by Donald Trump in the '90s, sounds fed up with the fact that no matter how many women come forward, nothing happens. And to prove her point: NONE of the Sunday talk shows brought up her rape allegation this weekend:
E. Jean Carroll on Trump denying rape accusation she made against him: "With all the 16 women who have come forward, it's the same -- he denies he, he turns it around, he attacks, & he threatens. Then everybody forgets it, & then the next woman comes along. And I am sick of it." pic.twitter.com/OuP20AvKTF
