You’ll notice American state media have completely ignored insurrectionist creep Mike Johnson and racist scumbag JD Vance saying that rulings from judges should be ignored and that they plan on breaking all laws. But President Biden’s age.
Fuck you to everyone who chose this.

Ok, #NYT. When the hell are you gonna stop sugar-coating it?! This is not a "flexing of power," it's an unconstitutional dismantling of our gov't by a liar, felon, rapist, and traitor.

I just realized that the way I feel now is very similar to the way I felt in the beginning of the #pandemic: scared, worried, mad, frustrated at not knowing what is going to happen. Everything. 😞

Best news of the day!
Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

This #LetThem idea is all well and good, and honestly COULD help me in relations with my dad, but I don't think NOW is the time to just "let" anybody. ☹️

Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

Ok. I have an idea. I keep wondering how to get across to people like my dad who live in a small town in Alabama. What if federal employees write op-ed in local newspapers in rural areas? People out there aren't hearing all this stuff. Maybe if we let them know, in a nice way, they'll listen?

I took today off work bc I needed a break from this week. I called my senators and congressman. I mailed red cards to my friends in Alabama and NC to share. I drove around and left red cards at the library & Latino markets. I'm tired but I'm not giving up! I'm trying to do what I can.
