I’m afraid to keep speaking up in my own hometown about this. Amanda Jones courageously did it, suffered the consequences but kept on. Here’s to bold women to inspire all of us to keep speaking truth to bullshit 🎉

Walked through the airport and saw my face in Time, on the cover of USA Today, and my book on the shelves. So surreal. I’m counting every blessing and grateful for all who stand for truth and intellectual freedom. They tried to silence me. Wrong one. Cheers to the haters! 🥂

"For the first time since the civil rights era, the president of the United States is sending in troops over the objection of a local state. The big difference between now and the civil rights era is that the president is doing that based on their desire for power only."

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

Yeah it’s the left inviting violence. Worse - in Jesus name.

Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon tells Christians they can "make Jesus smile" by joining ICE: "You literally can join ICE and be God's appointed avenger who seeks to carry out God's vengeance on the evildoer." www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

That’s when I started! I truly wondered if it would be difficult. Turns out I really don’t need to buy their stuff. They need me more than I need them. They may not be missing my $10,000 a year but they’re missing all of us doing it. Shame on Target for caving to bigots.

I saw the Stones there for the Steel Wheels tour. Living Colour opened. The guy who spent that whole set screaming Keith Fucking Richards! had passed out by the time the Stones started.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"
