My country is murdering Americans, immigrants, kidnapping POC, deporting little tiny children, brutalizing and torturing dteainees, tear gassing babies, beating up clergy and the elderly; eliminating food assistance, vaccines, and health care... what the fuck is there to celebrate?

I find it pointless to watch the Olympics. My own country’s leaders want us dead, they are currently rounding up anyone who isn’t white and murdering people in the streets. Celebrating human achievement seems ridiculous when we are considered subhuman and effectively barred from competition.

Proud of these kids taking on the supposed adults that have been threatening them for days. Last April, the school board voted to remove bullying protection for our LGBTQ+ students. I knew this was going to progress, and text the hubs, "I'm fucking done."

But that just makes us more resilient, it makes us faster, smarter and fiercer. Don't be afraid to have feelings, that makes us human. But when the monsters come, it's time to put on your game face and grab a stake.

I would be so relieved with an organized “Jan 6th committee” type breakdown on all things Epstein. The cover-up started by 2005. We have more than just the people in them that need to be held accountable. The people who helped it hide this long.
Only if the victims agreed.

I used to wonder how a molasses flood could kill so many people because it was fairly slow. But as trans people endure the federal governments genocide, I get it. It’s just slow enough to know you’re going to die, but any shouts for help you give are ignored by those not in its immediate path.

The medical communities, bowing down to pedophiles, who are citing the “safety“ of the very children they intend to harm with cis supremacist rhetoric that flies in the face of science, logic and reason. Should tell you the very real danger, trans people are in.
