Queer education professor in the Midwest. Tired.
We watched a lot of Dawson’s Creek, and I am feeling super sad today. I was also a very young colon cancer patient—stage 3, age 34. I feel lucky to be here and also a responsibility to tell folks: get screened. As early as possible (1/2)

6. He will do it again.

TRUMP: You are so bad. You are the worst report. No wonder CNN has no ratings. She's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. They should be ashamed of you.

don't mind me, just finding lots of bread crumbs showing Epstein and the League of Pederasts were a driving force in pushing transphobic hate.
This email was sent in October 2014, at the start of the current anti trans political campaign and astroturphing.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

Why is Dem leadership not on the ground in MN? If the answer is “polls show Trump’s disapproval is only -15 on deportations, but -25 on prices,” thats a Bad Use Of Polling and a complete failure in their capacity as leaders to lead public opinion and fight for democracy and the rule of law

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.
