As corporate Pride allyship goes, not bad, actually. Although they seem to have something against interracial gays.

All I want is one of these, but USB-C *only*, no USB-A. And compact. And not ugly. Why is that so difficult to find?!
Trump Mobile wants you to know how committed they are to keeping military deployed overseas connected to their families. But calling to Qatar is weirdly capped at 40 min/month, even though that's host to our biggest base in the middle east. #TrumpMobile

Marching up Madison Ave from Bryant Park to Central Park today in NYC. Massive turnout. #50501movement #NoKings
