UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Canada is a country worth fighting for against anyone who’d roll up and sock us in the kisser, goddamn them.
I will still stand up for my country and our right to decide for ourselves how we want to live.

Confessions of a Reluctant Nationalist
I'd throw a punch to fight for Canada's sovereignty while reserving and exercising my right to criticize this country. That's a fine form of patriotism.

Hi everyone.
The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.
We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.
We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.
I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.

Really looking forward to the Raptors season. Big changes (more to come?). Excited about Darko and hoping for better vibes. Big believer in Scottie Barnes, curious about Dick.
