Rewatching Frozen 2 with my daughters & Elsa really is such a gay icon. Love that she gets a new outfit every time she has a moment of self-actualization. Iconic. Love that for her.

I have to wonder if tariffs are also a factor in a compounding way. Like, tariffs make imports more expensive, which means manufacturers have to raise prices, which makes the products more expensive to export. Will Japan be up for paying a 15% increase for PBR, when the US is already an ahole?

*There is a large and growing movement of Stephen Miller–inspired terrorism in this country. It is well organized and well funded, and it is shielded by Supreme Court justices, corrupt prosecutors, and even more corrupt attorneys general.

I hate it when Putin speaks and people quote him seriously, analyzing his words, searching for meaning, trying to understand him as if he’s ever uttered a single word of truth.

Cynical murderer and a lying gargoyle, that's what he is.

I recently read "A Game in Yellow" by @haileypiperfights.bsky.social and "Spread Me" by @sarahgailey.bsky.social. Both are exquisite erotic horror and I recommend them wholeheartedly! ^_^

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

A LOT of these guys joined ICE, etc., specifically to beat the shit out of immigrants and protesters. And statistics tell us anyone willing to behave this way in front of witnesses and news cameras has probably beaten domestic partners too.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

It’s deeply unfair to call today’s fascists “fascist” or “Nazis” just for doing bad things German Nazis did in the 1930s to advance their fascist project. And you better not say “fascism” or the fascists will come for you too!

CBS, ABC and Disney should get the full treatment Target got. They are anti-FreeSpeech & openly pro-Fascist.

Boycott them.
Destroy their bottom line.
See how long they can survive just MAGA viewership.

Time to put your money where your love of the Constitution is.
Do. Not. Support. Them.
