Finding Help
Appreciate the wonderful support I've received from people I've only connected with online.

A Safe and Welcoming Space: wanna give a special shout-out to the tech.lgbt community. It's been such a wonderful and welcoming space where I truly feel #safe and accepted.

Thanks to @david and their incredible instance, I've felt empowered to participate and connect with others on Fedi. It's a fantastic example of the strong and #supportive online communities we can build.

“I don’t want there to be any concerns about this, and in the interests of full transparency, I’ve contacted the #AEC and the Department of Parliamentary Services and given them the details that I gave to #TheAge yesterday about my #relationship with those #volunteers and with Mr #JiJianmin I’ve said, look, if you’ve got any concerns, please investigate.”

“[They’re] people who attended a dinner where a community leader [JiJianmin] said that he supported me and he supported my #values, and thought that I’ve been very #supportive of the community in recent years, and for that reason he thought people should #Support me now. I’m grateful for the support the Chinese Australians have given me in the last three years.”

I’ve got the nod from the #CCP.

The #white #evangelical movement prior to 1980 was largely #supportive of #abortion #rights.

They were furious, however, when the Supreme Court #banned preacher-led #school #prayer and in the late 1970s Jimmy Carter pulled the #tax #exemptions of #segregated #schools run by white evangelicals.

Jerry #Falwell had started his “Moral Majority” in 1978 and uber-Christian Paul #Weyrich (co-founder of The Heritage Foundation and the guy who famously said, “I don’t want everybody to vote!”) signed up for the Reagan campaign.

As Donne Levy writes for George Washington University’s History News Network:

“Weyrich and Falwell realized that the tax exemption issue based on racial discrimination had limited value, but #opposing #abortion was a moral issue cutting across racial and religious lines. That was their thinking on the eve of the 1980 elections.”
