I 🙏🏼 they do what’s right. Come on CBS you are the network Penny Garcia is on…she believes in you. REMEMBER THE 1st AMENDMENT. You must report even if he don’t like the way he really is.

Back by popular demand, Selected Shorts returns to the @montalvoarts in Saratoga, CA on Feb 1! Join actors Justin Kirk, @RichaMoorjani, and @Vangsness for an evening of stories about unexpected conclusions. Get your tickets now! my.montalvoarts.org/2466/2506

Still can’t get over this fact: One of the first acts of this administration was to pardon violent January 6th insurrectionists, not to help the American worker or the American family.

@trixiedidit I live here in California, this is full Of untruths and one of those lesbian Firefighters is my friend and she’s amazing. This isn’t kind and I feel sad about it. I hope you consider to really research before you post propaganda

Absolutely, plus cancel insurance policies, fail to report the truth about arson and the fire fighters having no water. Prayers to all our country is under attack 💯🙏🏻🙏🏻🤬

@rickygervais Ow what a heartache and what a glorious creature. I am sorry for your pain ❤️‍🩹

Sad News. 'Anti', who played 'Brandy' in AfterLife, has died. She was 13 and a very good girl 😢

This is big news. Well done ladies of the USA and by that, I mean everyone.

“Nazi” isn’t a slur. It’s a word that describes real people who earnestly believe in their ideas. Their ideas are disgusting and hateful, but of course they often do not realize it. I keep running into racists who think that it’s not white supremacist to think that white people are inherently superior to other races. No…that’s the whole definition!! The fact that they believe it earnestly and don’t think it’s an idiotic, hateful belief doesn’t mean it’s not an idiotic, hateful belief. Nazi isn’t a word that means “bad evil boogeyman” it means “someone who believes in their own racial superiority, extreme protectionist nativism, the purifying of society by eliminating undesirables, expansionism, active suppression of dissent, and total state power held in the hands of a very small group.” Make sure the people you’re cheering for don’t believe these things because otherwise…

@SenatorCollins Thank you

After careful consideration, I have decided to vote against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for Secretary of Defense. While I appreciate his courageous military service and his ongoing commitment to our servicemembers and their families, I am concerned that he does not have the experience and perspective necessary to succeed in the job. Our military is under tremendous pressure right now. Active conflicts in the Middle East and Europe combined with escalating threats in the Pacific, all against a backdrop of severe financial challenges and four years of ineffective leadership by the Biden Administration, make this an especially critical time for those who lead our military. The next Secretary of Defense will be responsible for managing a massive bureaucracy that includes nearly three million employees and a budget of nearly $850 billion. In addition, our next Secretary faces long-standing procurement and supply issues that continued to worsen under the Biden Administration. In sum, the Secretary is going to be facing a number of incredibly complex problems that are going to require highly skilled management ability. I am concerned that Mr. Hegseth does not have the management experience and background that he will need in order to tackle these difficulties. His limited managerial experience involved running two small non-profit organizations that had decidedly mixed results. I am also concerned about multiple statements, including some in the months just before he was nominated, that Mr. Hegseth has made about women serving in the military. He and I had a candid conversation in December about his past statements and apparently evolving views. I am not convinced that his position on women serving in combat roles has changed. Women comprise nearly 18 percent of our active-duty military. They continue to make critical and valuable contributions to our national defense. I have long advocated that women who wish to serve in and can meet the rigorous standards of combat roles should be able to do so. And numerous women have proved that they can accomplish this difficult feat. Currently, thousands of women are serving in combat roles and many others serve in non-combat functions. Their service is essential to the success of our military. Mr. Hegseth also appears to lack a sufficient appreciation for some of the policies that the military is required to follow because they are codified in the laws of the United States of America. While I understand his points on the importance of up-to-date and workable rules of engagement, our prohibitions against torture come from American laws and treaties ratified by the United States, including the Geneva Conventions. Therefore, I will vote against the nomination.

@trixiedidit @instagram @trixiedidit I don’t have any hate. I have a lot of love and deep desire to protect the sweet democracy of this country I love so dearly.

@Vangsness @instagram Unfortunately, you feel the same way I did about Biden. It’s very frustrating that we the people don’t just love each other without labels. Jmo no insult intended

Goodbye PT ONE Yesterday, on @instagram I unfollowed the office of the vice president & the office of the president. Two minutes later, I was following them again. And so I unfollowed them and I blocked them and this continued about 10 times…

@trixiedidit @instagram @trixiedidit again you said this so kindly. I will not (and I’m encouraging us all to not) continue to scream into the void about what you need to come to their own senses about or reaffirm what’s true in your heart.💜 I trust you know what’s best for you

@arrowverse_emma @trixiedidit @instagram I really appreciate how kindly you spoke @trixiedidit I am tired of us all screaming into the void trying to convince people of things. We will each either come to our senses or reaffirm the signal from our heart is true on our own. So let’s all not make any more comments.💜

I would like Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde to be the next Archbishop of Canterbury.

@trixiedidit @instagram @trixiedidit the last three posts I made were in response to you. Sorry I didn’t tag you in them. I wish you whatever path you need to take to stay in your integrity and be in alignment. 💜

@trixiedidit @instagram I am no longer trying to convince anybody of anything, so please know I’m not trying to get you to see things differently I want to be clear that we get our news from different sources & I am interested in government officials who care about kindness.

@trixiedidit @instagram I am a queer woman. I’m left-handed. I’m a really terrible speller. These aren’t labels they’re just part of how I show up in the world and it should be safe for people to show up in the world however they show up and no president should make someone feel unsafe for existing.

@trixiedidit @instagram We get our news from different places so I understand why when I look at your feed what you believe. I have non-binary people in my family, immigrants in my family, children in my family, I care deeply that children have good public education and the planet is treated well.

@trixiedidit @instagram I really appreciate how kindly you spoke. My Gov. protects the most vulnerable. I proudly voted for the Cali Gov, because I believe in taking care of the vulnerable people & planet. I can love but I WILL NOT CONSORT anyone (this president included) that are cruel & divisive

A plurality of American voters chose to turn our government over to a madman and his party will do nothing to restrain him. The rest of us need to act accordingly.

@MissMausoleum It’s @Vangsness.bsky

@Vangsness I can't find you on 🦋😔

And then I thought maybe I should just erase all of my Tweets and stay? @bethofalltrades came up with that idea and maybe I’ll do that or maybe I won’t. But go to blue sky cause I’ll be there for sure so all of the good pictures and things will now be there.
