"When one of the most famous black and gay men in America is not safe, the message is clearer than it has ever been." The dangerous lies spewing from the right wing is killing & hurting our people.
Thinking of you @JussieSmollett, and my LGBTQ neighbors.

Most people had never heard of this guy before this incident.
Via Twitchy:
The curious case of the alleged attack on “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett continues to confound, but that hasn’t stopped politicians from weighing in. Smollett’s claim that attackers tied a noose around his neck, for example, led Sens. Kamala Harris and Cory Booker to push their bill that would make lynchings a federal crime.
Freshman Rep. Rashida Tlaib also weighed in on the attack on one of the most famous black and gay men in America and placed the blame fully on the dangerous lies spewing from the right wing. Shocker.
