This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Goodnight, friends.

I shared this song earlier today as it's been rattling around in my brain. It seems worth sharing again tonight.

"Give me hope, help me cope with this heavy load /Trying to touch and reach you with heart and soul...Give me love..."

I love you.

I'm doing another print run of these "Biology is Bigger than Binaries" shirts!

Back, quite literally, by popular demand. Bullying works, sure, but so does a bunch of nice cutie patooties politely asking!

Order 'em now, I'll mail 'em in early November.

Here’s an angle for a journalist looking for a fresh take on the White House “Antifa” roundtable — most of the people who participated are employed by or have a direct financial connection to Turning Point USA. I think that’s pretty telling, no?

We all need to understand a key facet of fascism. There is no end, but also there is no plan. Just an endless string of opportunities to exploit and suppress people when they do not stand up for themselves. Fascists are big dogs that look scary, but run scared when faced with a real fight.

What is the end game for these madmen?? World dominance? Hatred and poverty rife everywhere? That doesn't sound like a good world
