“So what if he disagreed with you, he didn’t deserve to die”
But he thought I did.
This isn’t disagreement. It’s someone who was not only opposed to my existence but was called a good and faithful servant by the church for doing it.
I don’t have to mourn that. And asking me to is violence too.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

This one hurts my heart and fills me with rage. Jonathan Joss was murdered last night by some bigoted, dickless piece of shit who couldn't stand to see two men love each other with all their hearts.
Today, I stand with everyone in the LGBTQ+ community who mourns the loss of this kind soul.

one thing I respect about medieval beekeepers is their total commitment to looking like Doctor Who villains

This is exactly why we need to be organized in our defense of the freedom to read. The book banners are organized & we'll funded. But they are also unpopular. Our numbers can beat their money
Majority of attempts to ban books in US come from organised groups, not parents
Last year 72% of demands to censor books were initiated by pressure groups and government entities; with just 16% of ban attempts made by parents
