I have been kicked out of a Priscilla Presley lookalike contest & yelled at by Oprah. No regrets.

Parade content! Flag bearers during Conan Gray’s lil ballad time are doing the most:

They’re running around with wishbone flags that also look like lambdas, intentional or otherwise, so right wingers can choke on it.

Just imagine how these evildoers would react to Fahrenheit 451 if they didn’t misread it as a viable game plan.
It's not just laws about books that are breaking libraries. Several states have passed property tax reforms–or are in the process of passing them–that are dismantling, destroying, and defunding these public institutions of democracy.

It's Not Just Laws About Books Breaking Libraries. It's Also New Tax Reforms.
Two states have passed property tax cuts that are directly impacting public libraries. Expect to see this happen more.

Solidarity is a verb:
Saturday saw us buyout 8, Sunday was 10 and we swarmed a local bakery. Over $4,000 from the community, to vendors, food to the community. Thursday is our next home buyout, Saturday our last tour, bonfire that night to celebrate, Sunday Burrito Brigade. #BikeChi persists. 🫶🏽✊🏽🙏🏽
