Shooting at Colorado Springs LGBTQ club leaves 5 dead and shatters safe haven provided by the venue | CNN
Make no mistake, attacks like this are inspired by rhetoric from politicians and others who demonize and marginalize the LGBTQ+ community.
As we mourn for the people of Colorado Springs, we must always call out this hate.
Lily Forsell remembers taking in the scene of the dance floor at Club Q as she was leaving Saturday after a night celebrating her 18th birthday -- dozens of people were laughing, singing and dancing like they always did after the evening's drag show.

Senator Ryan Webinar 5/5 9:00am
Yesterday I spoke on a resolution sponsored by my colleague, Senator Tim Kennedy, honoring the life of Bruce Kogan - a proud adopted Buffalonian. Bruce was a staunch advocate for the LGBTQ community, but he did it with a smile and a kind voice. People could not escape a meeting with him without recognizing his humanity. He was generous in spirit and generous in action. I will miss him for what he taught me and his special way of advocacy.

Congratulations Sean!!!!!!!
Why is Sean Ryan sending out a series of non-union mailings from the NYS DSCC? Don't you support legitimate unions?
Take me off of your mailing list. Why have I had to call your office four times in the past two weeks, and inbox you twice requesting this?
Stop with the junk mail
Stop with the junk mail
I just received a flyer from you with great family pictures. Will you post those pictures here?
Thank you for your suggestion of drop boxes for absentee ballots. I have contacted my Assemblyman to ask him to support this action. It will expedite ballots to the Board of Elections. I'm already seeing a slower rate for mail. A package sent from Michigan by 3 day express delivery took 8 days to reach me in Niagara County.
My mother is in a local assisted-living facility. She, and other residents, were kept in their rooms basically 24/7 for approximately seven weeks with very little social interaction. While they can now leave their rooms, they are still locked inside the building, breathing the same stale, recirculated air for eight weeks. Also eight weeks without any personal contact with family members. Residents that are physically able need to be able to go outside for fresh air. Why not allow them to sit on chairs, spaced six feet apart, on the spacious patio? I understand the need to protect their physical health, but their mental health is being completely ignored. This is elder abuse! I would love an opportunity to talk to you about it.
Happy Earth Day !!! โป๏ธ๐๐ฟ๐ป๐บ๐ฅ๐น๐ผ
Thank you for standing up for those who have no voice
Mr. Ryan, they have started to dismantle rides at fantasy island on grand island. More rides have gone up for sale listed on used rides pages online. I do not believe that Apex Parks Group has been honest with you.
There are buyers on the table and Nobody seen any kind of response from Apex Parks Group concerning the sale of the park.
Is there a way we could expedite the process and mediate a sale? I know Grand Island councilman Mike Madigan has taken calls from respected people interested.
