If I was forced to describe any part of this world out of context, I would sound bananas. Like, oh yes, today an inflatable Portland frog danced to fend off a line of armed ICE agents. Every day is a fever dream.

Conversion "therapy" is abuse. It's torture. It's sexual assault and rape. Period.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

If you have two minutes free right now, call Netflix and leave a comment in support of this programming and ask them to stand up for their shows against political pressure.

Phone number is 1-866-952-4456, and I waited less than a minute before a human picked up.
