ICE shot a clergy member in the head in broad daylight.

not directing this at Greg but this is what BLM was all about. trying to explain to people that the guns they aim at Black folks just minding their own business will be turned on everyone if we dont course correct and here we are.

“Conversion therapy” is a euphemism for child abuse, and every mainstream medical and mental health organization has rejected this practice for decades. There is no evidence that it does anything besides harm children. It is one of the few subjects where there is an overwhelming medical consensus.

Fixed.

Somehow, in the midst of all of this, there are several hires in Black Diaspora Studies being made across CUNY. This is one of them:

Guys like this is exactly why phrasing like “stay woke” came about

A majority of Supreme Court justices on Tuesday seemed to lean in favor of a Christian counselor challenging bans on LGBTQ+ “conversion therapy” for kids as a violation of her First Amendment rights. https://to.pbs.org/4mPyuTr

What kind of chickenshit governor refuses to sign a bill providing funding to suicide prevention hotlines for LGBTQ youth after Trump revoked funding?

These bills will become law without his signature but it's incredibly fucked up to send the message that he won't support trans people's privacy in medical care nor their access to healthcare all so he can run for president in 2028. He's a craven sociopath.

Fuck Gavin Newsom. I will never vote for him and you shouldn't either.

Never, ever Newsom. Fuck that guy.

One thing I noticed about so many of their posts were insanely high like counts but barely any engagements such as comments. These things are heavily pushed by bot networks to generate controversy.

Libs of Tiktok, Elon Musk, and Robbie Starbuck put everything they had into trying to push a boycott of Netflix over LGBTQ characters in their shows.

Netflix ignored them and the stock is back up. Turns out bots don't actually cancel accounts.

Heads up there’s an ICE checkpoint in Harlem right now apparently
