With one memo, Little Marco Rubio managed to prove just how petty and bigoted this administration really is. The State Department just announced that the font Calibri is no longer allowed. The memo literally says it’s to “abolish yet another wasteful DEIA program.”

This timeline has officially gone off the rails. Weird Al joined Portugal the Man on stage to cover Killing in the Name by Rage Against the Machine. Let that sink in.

Weird Al straight up performed an RATM song. No parody. The actual lyrics. Our anger is justified.

Is Trump trying to score points with this? Cute. I’m no impressed. Those of us on the left want accountability for everyone, not just the people we don’t like. If there’s evidence, there should be consequences. End of story.

Was doomscrolling TikTok when a punk band called Middle-Aged Queers popped up. I just finished streaming their latest album, and got really emotional listening to this song. It’s a punk ❤️ letter to the lesbians that took care of gay men with AIDS.

One of the students is quoted as saying, “I don’t have a problem with trans people at all until it makes me uncomfortable.” I have a feeling a trans person simply existing makes them uncomfortable.
