If Christian Nationalist parents are allowed to have their kids opt-out of any books that dare mention anyone gay, then all the other parents should be allowed to let their kids opt-out from the Ten Commandments.

We need community to start standing up like this. Harlem turned out because Chick-fil-A would not close down in honor of Malcolm X‘s birthday. And yet we’re allowing people to be kidnapped without warrants and due process.

Since abortion became almost entirely illegal in Texas in 2021, the state has seen a significant rise in the number of women who die in pregnancy or after giving birth. A new bill aims to change that.

He'll Never Be Respected in the World
He can demand it. He can travel to the Middle East and pretend he's getting it. But we can be sure that most will never give it to him.

James Woods went on CNN and started crying about his house burning down and smacked talked the response from officials in California for the wildfires.
But his house is still standing.
Is he gonna praise firefighters and thank Gavin Newsom now or nah?
Or even apologize for lying?

Manhattan smog: fog + pollutants. From 1971-77, the Documerica project captured 20,000 images of America’s environmental impact. Explore these through the National Archives. The photo below is from Documerica—join the movement! Let’s not forget our past, or we’re bound to repeat it.
