What looks like a VVIP flight over the North Sea, being guarded against Russian war ships and attack aircraft in the area.
US aircraft from Poland, Great Britain and Germany, working hand in hand.
Nothing more to say.

Rufus is a very impressive looking person and the way he carried himself showed
that he is a man of distinction. President Biden has put together a top notch team.

At 18 years old I told my Mom and Dad I was gay.

The future was scary and uncertain to me. I knew no gay people and a life where I found love felt unattainable. And even if I found it I never imagined that my country would view that love as equal.

Today was a day where my personal and professional dream collided as I find myself married for 7 years to the love of my life while watching my boss, President Joe Biden reaffirm our commitment by signing the “Respect for Marriage” bill into law.

Dreams do come true. 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈❤️

What "a sharp dressed man."

No matter how much "they" fight it change is here and it will keep coming and coming
and nothing they can do will stop it. And this straight guy is fine with it too.

since there are so many MAGAts trying to strip us of it.

I'm a proud Democrat who is more than willing to sacrifice to support these brave people in their battle against autocracy. We need to give them whatever they need to end this war of aggression sooner rather than later.
