Valverde was active in downtown L.A.’s queer scene and frequented Cooper Do-nuts, where LGBTQ+ customers fought back against police harassment in 1959. In 2023, L.A. named the intersection of Main and 2 Streets as “Cooper Do-nuts/Nancy Valverde Square,” its first public monument to a lesbian. /end

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents.
But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

Remove the Olympics & World Cup from US, it is not safe for visitors. When you travel to the US you risk arbitrary arrest and abduction, random acts of extreme firearm violence and terrorism, unknown pathogens and disease, and discrimination or xenophobic attacks.

If anyone you know in ICE tells you they’re “just following orders” remind them of the following:
- they can read
- they’re aware of the SCOTUS ruling and numerous injunctions around the illegality of what they’re doing
- feigning ignorance will not soften their place in history…or in America.

Friday night Tequila Tweet: Fuck any American President who finds out an innocent man was mistakingly deported to an El Salvador prison and doesn’t IMMEDIATELY demand that man be IMMEDIATELY returned to America.

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me.
There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine.
