Awesome! I will be home protesting in my hometown of Oakland. I was in Portland visiting family this week.

Hey, I don't want to knock Portland, I love the place, but I just happen to be visiting from OAKLAND and brought my signs with me. Gotta rep the Town wherever I am!

As someone whose first presidential vote was for Clinton (1996), my feeling if he’s on the Epstein list:

Never forget that Comicsgate took personal offense at the publication of Superman Smashes The Klan.

Why am I seeing dumb shits asking Mark Robinson to run for NC Senate? Republican or Democrat, you should be fucking embarrassed to be even thinking of that rank imbecile running for anything. Just fucking NO.

Before Caitlin Clark, every WNBA and WNCAA news story was littered with comments from guys angry that women's sports were getting any funding or news coverage at all, and now those guys have all switched over to accusing everyone of being trans. Maybe the problem was never women's sports.

Crystal Frasier @amazonchique.bsky.social · Jun 11

I still cannot believe that women’s sports—a topic literally no one but queer women cared about, to the point that every TV show took cheap shots at the WNBA—was the fucking Rubicon for trans genocide.

I believe it was “compared to times in the past, yes.” Noting, it wasn’t a high black vote for him, but only high relative to the past.

Never in my adult life have I wanted to give a standing ovation to a scene mid-film until #Sinners. Watch the movie and you’ll know. Just. Magic. Thank you @ryancoogler.bsky.social. The 70 mm print at The Grand Lake was excellent.

I hate that Trump is treated like a force of nature that just happens to people instead of a monstrous brute of a man who is making the dumbest and most destructive choices possible and is 100% responsible for them.

Diversity initiatives were meant to overcome the old patterns of nepotism, so I guess it makes sense that the enemies of diversity are big fans of nepotism.
