It’s wild how the public views Queen as an extremely liberal band when that extends only to Freddie Mercury’s sexuality, and are otherwise one of the toriest bands in rock history, they’re literally named after their fully unironic love of monarchy!

It’s weird that “performative” gets used more often in memes about positive behaviours and interests when in my exp acting negatively is often a thousand times more actually performative

Read this thread. All of these ICE “facilities” are concentration camps. There is a reason they are not allowing oversight. Keep protesting this shit and informing people about this Nazi regime. Nuremberg Trials 2.0 can’t come fast enough.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point
