I can’t tell you how much I needed that!

I’ll let you bask in your misery and caress your giant guns. Maybe show a little grace to others and they’ll do the same.

You know nothing about me, what I believe or what I’ve been through in life. But if taking your anger out on me makes you feel better so be it.

We remember him not just because of what happened, but because we refuse to let hate win. Because love deserves safety. Because no one should be hurt for being who they are.

This isn’t history. It’s a reminder. Be loud. Be kind. Be the reason someone feels safe. #LGBTQ+

I’m sorry but not Dolly. Not now. Dolly I’m sending you love and light.

I wish you well in these trying times and will work to get a better candidate elected. If we have elections.

First, I am not a Gavin fan. I would much rather see a more honest, less megalomaniacal dem candidate. However, things WOULD be worse for the trans community under any republican as well as for all queer people & women. Repubs are all in on project 2025, which sees trans as subhuman.

For God’s Sake, Democrats: Don’t Cave!

They’re widely, and rightly, perceived as weak. The shutdown fight is their chance to shock us for a change.

I was being snarky. I honestly dont know if the wealthy in SF have reacted to this plan.

A great idea! Wonder how the rich people who bought homes along the back nine will like it?

Because addressing real problems involves real work. Much easier to cosplay.

Just another day of the American #gestapo terrorizing a beautiful Chicago neighborhood.

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · 4d

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school.

Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.
