"If you look back at some of the most momentous or egregious injustices and illegal actions throughout our history, like segregation, slavery, Indian removal, the list goes on—you can always find people who were saying, 'This is unlawful. It is wrong. It is shameful, and it violates the Constitution and the laws of this country.'”

"And those people wound up being vindicated—even if they were in a minority at the time, even if they were censored and silenced at the time. It mattered to future generations and future movements that they were there laying down that marker."

“Civil rights were not a winning issue during the Civil Rights Movement. It was an uphill battle. That doesn’t mean fighting for civil rights was wrong. Democrats like [Seth] Moulton are just asking the wrong question. Are we a majoritarian country, or are we supposed to be protecting people and fighting for what’s right?”

@wdlindsy A minority, censored and silenced. I see patterns repeating.

I wish the future would be more willing to accept my minority group, including but not limited to my own (I have trans friends and more), for a better future for us all.

I'm miserable being rejected, miserable being ordered to 'act' like majority people.

I'm not like the majority. I tried being like the majority, and I didnt like being like that. They can be them, I dont wanna be them.

i want to be me.
Autistic.

@wdlindsy The voters in the US squabbed a very simple assignment. Not to let #trump become #potus . Whether through apathy, ignorance, whatever…..it doesn’t matter now. The whole world will feel it.
