The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

"Burn for You" is HOT! A ballad of queer lust, longing, and love, it is wonderfully explicit yet has layers of meaning.

"[The] reasons used to justify [Renee Good's] death have gone far beyond what she did or didn’t do with her car. Much of it has centered around Good’s identity as a queer woman."

The Campaign to Destroy Renee Good
After an ICE agent shot and killed the Minneapolis mother, conservative media launched an all-out attack on her reputation. Her identity as a queer woman was central to it.

For reasons the majority of decent Americans find incomprehensible, Trump's deplorable MAGAts want this depiction reversed.

Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.

Another aggrieved cultural gatekeeper bemoans change.

What do they expect? As humans become more monstrous, monsters become more human.

Are Anne Rice's vampires good influences for queer people and good gateways to foster empathy among straight people?

The older--and, presumably, wiser--I get, the less I think so and the more I think we can do better.

So what’s on the MAGA agenda for today’s anniversary of getting away with an insurrection? Are there going to be reenactments? Fresh feces smeared on the Capitol? T-shirts bragging, “I smashed the windows and stole a lectern, and all I got was a pardon and this shirt”? Maybe I’ll ask my senator.
