My daughter’s public school has a drag queen story night every spring. Usually, a nice but small event. This year, the principal got hate mail about it. This was the result. This is what it looks like when people love their kids.

I am confident that witnessing the country steer directly into authoritarianism bordering on fascism would upset me regardless, but as a civil rights lawyer, federal employee, and Columbia (law) grad, the targeted destruction of the institutions out of which I built my life out sure sucks.
