Remember that time Gaetz was the only one who voted against the human trafficking bill?
Fun times.

Pretty sure the @FBI and @TheJusticeDept would not have wanted Rep Matt Gaetz to disclose that his father was wearing a wire (if Rep Gaetz is even telling the truth). https://t.co/kzJuDFCxFh

Killer Derek Chauvin’s idiot lawyer: Our minds are fallible, right?
Firefighter Genevieve Clara Hansen: Correct, so it’s a good thing it was recorded.
Boom. 💯🔥

Happy Trans Day of Visibility!
This is not to be confused with Trans Day of Remembrance (Nov. 20th), which memorializes trans and non-binary people whose murders were motivated by transphobia.
Instead, today is for celebration and visibility of our community!#TDOV

Let’s see what happens today!
Watching some of the Floyd trial which is excruciating. Chauvin’s defense team is terrible – what you get I guess when you got NOTHING to work with in your defense.
The poor kid who accepted the $20 bill! Nothing but regrets all the way around except of course Chauvin who I suspect is completely and utterly remorseless. And the fact there were young kids watching this is beyond heartbreaking.
