The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

We're just going to let this last one speak for itself:

"We will continue our work to protect LGBTQIA+ New Jerseyans from discrimination, and we will not hesitate to hold violators of the law accountable."

To put it another way, they said in no uncertain terms: NO HATE IN THE GARDEN STATE.

The #NJ Division of #CivilRights just made it unequivocally clear: anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination is an affront to the Garden State's values and our Law Against Discrimination is in full force — no matter what the federal government has to say.

Trump during the election: No new wars!

Trump after inauguration: We’re going to send the U.S. military in to conquer Gaza, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, and the Panama Canal!

Disappointed, but unsurprised. #tiktok #censorship #tiktokcensorship #trans #transrightsarehumanrights #lgbtq #lgbtqia+ #freespeech

Trump tells Sean Hannity "I don't care" about the economy and that Joe Biden's pardons are more important

I don't think we can share the side-by-side of Elon Musk doing the Nazi salute next to Nazis doing the Nazi salute enough.

The new "sex and gender" executive order does nothing but make trans people's lives more difficult than they already are. Trans prisoners will be raped more, trans federal employees will be discriminated against more, and trans travelers will be subject to unneeded hassle.

For nothing.

The most powerful words you can say right now to these fascist bastards is:

"No, make me."

They cannot actually be everywhere and enforce their fascist policies. They rely on fear to do the job of governing for them. By refusing to comply, you make their means of compliance ineffective.

If you’re waiting for a charismatic leader to step up and fix everything, get used to waiting.

There’s no mythical rescuer coming. There’s just all of us and the daily work of supporting our communities.

Find a local org, get involved, help the people around you. That’s the only answer.

Well, just waiting for tiktok to announce who bought them. I no longer want to be complicit in my own destruction.

"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant."

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Happy MLK day y'all. Today, Dr. King's words ring particularly true.
