Y’all, I finally hit my goal weight today! 🎉

I started at 270 lbs over 2½+ years ago, & today I weighed in at 199. This journey wasn’t easy, but I stuck with it & made it happen!

I treated myself to a new Coach bag & 1 piece of turtle chocolate. I’m feeling very proud of myself, YAY ME!! 🥰

💯 by not abandoning their racism and bigotry they dont get to join us on the left. That's not a leftist cult thing. That's being a decent human being

And Just Like That, The Purple Revolution Is A Bust!!

Fucking disgusting conduct. They recklessly drove into another car, attempted to hit-and-run until they saw someone filming, pointed a deadly weapon at an unarmed person, and arrested her without probable cause.

These three needs to be arrested and brought to court!

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

Hitler, Goebbels, and Himmler committed suicide after they figured out their 1000-year Reich wasn’t going to last. Goring killed himself just before he was to be hanged after being convicted of crimes against humanity and other crimes at Nuremberg.

Fascist regimes falsely think they’ll rule forever
