Just finished Fifth Season, amazing book! Great escape but also great parallels!
Sometimes the only thing at the end of the day is to escape into a good book.
For an alternate apocalypse (and better villians), we love The Fifth Season by NK Jemisin.

So...removal of military leadership and installations of regime loyalists...
If this were a country with a non-White leader, what would the U.S. do next?

Immigrants. DEI. The transgender community. It’s all about making you hate your neighbors instead of the billionaires getting rich off our backs.

There is no LGBTQIA liberation without trans folks, especially trans women of color like Marsha P. Johnson.
Fellow cis queers (and non queers) - our silence is complicity. We have to get loud (not just about Stonewall). NOW.

What do we think the penalty will be for those who *lead* diversity trainings? Asking for a friend…
Some federal employees at the Education Department have been placed on administrative leave for previously attending a diversity training.
Several employees began receiving leave notices late Friday and reported them to their local union president.
