With all due respect (which is none), Oz, do kindly go fuck yourself with a barbed wire dildo. People shouldn't have to work themselves to death to make up for this country's bullshit capitalistic inequalities.
They want us working earlier and til we die to pay for their tax cuts for the rich. Supervillains.

Fascist republicans in Texas are now set to make bible readings in schools mandatory statewide.
Not only full blown fascism in order to indoctrinate, but an absolute fucking joke that literally the worst beings in human society are trying to force fake religious views on others.

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range.
And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.

Texas A&M University is ending its women’s and gender studies program, changing the syllabuses of hundreds of courses and canceling six classes as part of a new policy that limits how professors can discuss some race and gender topics, school officials announced Friday.

Forced outings won't "fix" or change the students. They'll only lead to higher rates of depression and self-harm, as well as some of these kids being kicked out of their homes by their parents/guardians. Not that this administration cares about any of that.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.
"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."
"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

It's been about a month since my first viewing of Heated Rivalry, so I'm overdue for a rewatch. I guess I know what I'll be doing next weekend. Still need to buy and read the books, but music from the show has been in heavy rotation at work and at home in the meantime. #TVSky #HeatedRivalry

I live in a smaller town in northern Minnesota where the majority of citizens seem to be rooting for ICE. Fuck that! So proud of those standing up against their tyranny. I'd be there with you if I could.
