We don’t get to choose our heroes. They show up and stand up and build foundations of greatness. There can be no doubt that Miss Major Griffin-Gracy was the hero we needed and she spent her whole life showing that to us. Yesterday, we lost a legend, a friend, and a mother. Rest in power.
“I don’t need their permission to exist, I exist in spite of them. I want you to train and teach and love on and create families within my community and gender non-conforming people, so that we can understand that we have a culture, we have a history, we have a reason to be here. We have a purpose. We’re entitled to be loved, and seek happiness, and share that with the people that we care about.”

I truly believe, in my heart of hearts, that mutual aid has to be the most critical movement work we can do right now.

We have to take care of each other when our government won't and the economy is about to crash.

We cannot organize if we aren't safe.

“I couldn’t be prouder of our highest-ranking leaders for maintaining an apolitical face under immense pressure,” said retired Army Maj. General Paul D. Eaton, who served in the Iraq war.
He added, “Pete Hegseth spent millions to fly in all of our generals and admirals to rant about facial hair”

The President of The United violated his oath of office to uphold The Constitution. In the public eye. AGAIN.

Focus. Release The Epstein files. Removal from office.

What also upsets me the most is that the President of The United States threatened the First Amendment and employment rights of every single person in the TV/Film industry. In real time.

But seriously: where was the boycott to support Reid? How is it that these ⚪️ men don't say anything when a fellow Black journalists loses her job (yes, they are journalists in their own way) but when one of their own goes down they're up in arms?

Colbert has the most fantastic severance package of full pay until May 2026.

Either ⚪️ man would have book deals and speaking tours lined up in a heartbeat.

Jimmy Kimmel got his show back. I'm so happy the show's employees didn't illegally lose their jobs.

But let's be real: Kimmel, Colbert, and all the other ⚪️ men dominating late night shows, are multi-millionaires.

It's Bi visibility week, so you can't not perceive this bi author & her bi heroine in a bi-panic love triangle

Saints is a coming of rage abt a woman hiding in a nunnery from her Goddess of Storms who sings of drowning colonizers & the Inquisition who'd burn her at the stake
