Growing up in a heteronormative, homophobic time, it took me a long time to realise who I am, even longer to eventually come out. Feeling isolated and different shapes what you believe, your music and reading preferences…and I could go on. That’s why I’m a progressive and feel passionately…1/2

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
You could be next.
