We are now staring down the barrel of a bona fide, definitional fascist takeover of the United States—and the pro-democracy leaders and institutions that remain need to be thinking hard not only about countering Trump, but the litany of failures that feed him.

The real truth of this moment is this: If a Democratic President behaved like Felon47 he would've been assassinated! We know this because it has happened in the 1960s!

Today we mourn, we honor the lives lost & remember that what happened wasn’t random, it was fueled by hate & made possible by a culture that too often dehumanizes queer people while refusing to address gun violence.

Grief is a protest.
Pride is a prayer.
We're still here.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.
