The stripping of #marriageequality begins in #Texas.
#Federal #judges may refuse to marry same sex couple under the new #religiousfreedom ruling.
Texas's choice to embrace #christo-fascism puts the #LGBTQIA+ at increased risk for #violence & #discrimination.

Texas judges won’t face sanctions for declining gay weddings

Officiating weddings isn’t a requirement for judges or justices of the peace. A new rule will let them perform only opposite-sex marriage ceremonies.

As a biracial 'brown' American citizen educated married to a white partner & two white kids. It occurres to me, very little separates me from those being disappeared.
When will ICE come for me? When they find out I'm queer? Or in a same sex marriage? Non-binary?! When?

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up.

Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

It's inconvenient at best & terrifying at worst to be unable to make life-long plans because at any moment, you may become the hunted.
The powers that be openly hate you & your existence.
You watch in horror as others on their unwanted list are fired, deported, imprisoned knowing you may be next.

Pride flag which reads: You may never know fear of having your human rights challenged every time there is an election.
And may you never know the pain of watching loved ones vote against your right to exist fully, equally and authentically.

For those praising Erika Kirk's 'I forgive him' comment should consider her sincerity. Kirk knew Trump would disagree.
If Trump was his 'authentic self', then perhaps Kirk's comment was inauthentic.
Perhaps, Kirk's quip was a tee 4 Trump's swing 2 lob a public threat to all who oppose his regime

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.
