I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Feeling solidarity with all the #NOKings protesters today. We’re in Europe so not able to join physically but with everyone out there today in spirit.💙

White water rafting in the #Soca River then a sauna w a view. Such a great combo.

Slovenia is a beautiful country to explore!

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism. I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

A moment of beautiful serenity on the Mincio river while cycling from Lake Garda to Verona.

First day of our bike trip from Balzano to Venice was amazing. Beautiful scenery, great weather and spending time with our good friends is the best!

Breaking News: Tylenol Researchers have found a disturbing link between Donald J Trump and the Epstein files

Felt the rapture at the #Beaches concert tonite in Boston - they’re so great!

Enjoyed a day trip to Boston to celebrate my son-in-law’s 30th. He ran 30K along the Esplanade to mark his bday w friends & fam joining for a loop or more. It was a jewel of a day & special to join in.

While all the hate & false rhetoric coming from our gov’t is disturbing and unsettling, it helps enormously to take a deep breath to watch a beautiful sunset. We all need to find strength to keep fighting back against the tyranny & attacks against the LGBTQ community & our right of free speech.

Getting out on some hikes - love having #MRG in our backyard.

My lovely daughter turns 28 today - wishing her a happy birthday & a wonderful year ahead as she starts her nursing career. She’s got a big heart, courage, and a keen intellect that should serve her well. However, she’s very anxious about starting as a CNA so please pass along any words of wisdom.

Obsessed with #TheBeaches - one of my favorites songs: Edge of the Earth. Can’t wait to see them live in Boston on the 24th.

Fun times being w family on the Chesapeake Bay for a wedding cele!

Had some challenges this Labor Day weekend, including a broken frig, but all good w being able to spend time w my daughters, son-in-law and our wonderful extended family.

Somewhere in Iceland.

Moon set over the lake tonite was so beautiful. Good night Bluesky.

Send a real criminal, Ghislaine Maxwell, to Uganda instead of Kilmar Abrego Garcia!!

Gladiolus from our garden!

Love these corduroy clouds in the sky this evening.

My sister-in-law is visiting us at our Maine cottage from CA. We had some fun w the prep for the lobster dinner. 🦞 😀

Had a fun trip to Belfast on Maine coast. Long bike ride (little longer than planned due to a shortcut we tried but that road disappeared). Had a fabulous lobster roll at Young’s after a soak in the hotel’s hot tub. Took a short ride on rail trail today.

It’s so enjoyable to have the family at our cottage!

Flowers from our garden!

Our Pride flag blowing in a storm on the lake before we had to take it down due to high winds.

I got to go tubing for real today - this was just the PR video I made for my daughters to give them a laugh.

So proud of my younger daughter - she applied to 2 top notch nursing programs and got accepted by both. She’s on her way to achieving her goal of becoming an RN.

🤗😘

Don't know how I missed this.... Generation Z adults surveyed were the first generation in history in which the majority disagreed with the statement: “There are only two genders, male and female” Moreover, that top line is just incredible. We are the future of what gender looks like!

Well if 47 wants us to stop talking about Epstein. So we know what to do !

NEXT THURSDAY: People all across the country will gather together in honor of the late Rep. John Lewis to participate in the Good Trouble Lives On National Day of Action. In the face of an authoritarian takeover, it’s more important than ever that we stand up, speak out, and make some good trouble.

Having a lowkey birthday on the lake after a raucous 4th of July weekend w friends. Got in an early morning ski run on flat water and then took a long swim. Found this stump on our shore - guess that’s a pretty good bday gift!

A gorgeous day in VT - did some gardening, biking & then cooled off in the river.

No amount of skipped lessons will make it possible for people to "opt out" of the reality that LGBTQI+ people exist. We are here. We have always existed and always will.

So happy my younger daughter was able to spend time w me & my hubby at the lake this past weekend. She is so beautiful both inside and out!

Sunset on the lake was gorgeous tonite. Even better was taking a skinny dip into the cool water surrounded by the orange glow.

Summertime! Just went for first SUP of summer & our peonies are blooming!

The local news at our Maine cottage is pretty refreshing - worth taking a break from my no news mandate. Stories included a K9 dog getting a donated safety vest, a summer solstice event to highlight challenges of homelessness, & the dog library at a local beach (it is stocked w sticks and balls)

The butterflies are having bf a hey day w our lilac blossoms - so good to have an abundance of pollinators.

Thankful for states, including VT, that protect trans youth’s right to exist, including gender-affirming care, despite the Supreme Court’s ruling.

Here’s to running a successful campaign to unseat the PoS MTG!

#NoKings in Norway, ME today!

Flying into JFK from Spain, I got a notification from Verizon “welcome to Canada where talk, text and data are included in your plan…” If only it was true that New England was now part of Canada!

Check out Assigned Media founder Evan Urquhart in Teen Vogue today!

If anyone you know is 13-24, in the US, and is LGBTQ+, please have them complete the Trevor Project survey this year. Their last survey has been integral to protecting LGBTQ+ rights globally. I can't understate how big an impact it has. Multiple publications come from the data. Share widely.

Why another protest? What is it going to accomplish? Shouldn’t we be [insert alternate tactic] instead? These are good-faith questions, and they stem from very reasonable concerns. So let’s take a step back and talk about the role of a peaceful mass mobilization like No Kings.
