She knew what would happen, she knew she was putting her very life on the line, but she did it. She stood up and said what she needed to say. This is Truth to Power.
I *really* hope that events don't make this pastor a latter day Martin Niemöller. But the number & identity of prominent people currently excusing or denying Musk's Nazi salutes does not fill me with hope.
Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

No executive order has the power or the right to tell you who you are. F*ck that noise. Surround yourself with love, and when you’re ready, get back in this fight.

We need you. 🫶🏽

alright you wanna know how to support trans people?

hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit.

Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

Have Biden's pardons left the Democrats 'silently screaming?'
Why Biden’s pardons sum up the 'failure and tragedy' of his presidency

Stepping back from the two big stories of the moment, pretty much all of the platforms where the Southport killer indulged his passions for violence, genocide & murder are owned & controlled by men who were in the prime seats at Donald Trump’s inauguration yesterday.

And they all *hate* regulation…

I'm a fan of Starmer, it wouldn't be honest of me to say otherwise, but he is a figurehead of everything the Left are getting wrong. We can fix this though, the fight isn't over, not just yet.

I wonder whether the prominent people who turn up at ‘hotels’ housing asylum seekers with a camera crew & on a mission to enrage will reflect on their role in this hideous crime…
A Nazi-obsessed white supremacist who stabbed an asylum seeker in a terror attack has been jailed for attempted murder.

Callum Ulysses Parslow, 32, attacked the man in April last year at the Pear Tree Inn near Worcester in what he claimed was a “protest” against small boat crossings.

Los Angeles received just 0.16 inches of rain since May 2024, the second-driest period on record.

Wildfires are now engulfing the city in January.

But some politicians still claim the climate crisis is a "hoax" as they do the bidding of Big Oil.

While Trump is trolling Canada about annexing it, Canadians are in Los Angeles tonight dropping water on the Palisades fire. He’s a disgrace.

Financial statement today reminded me HOW GREAT IT IS when folks request that their libraries acquire books. 😍

Seriously, if you want a totally free-to-you way to help an author, submit a request with your local library. Those sales help us so much, in whatever format.
