Pride began as a riot - an act of revolution to declare "we're here, we matter, and we will not be erased." As a celebration, Pride is a means to stand together and remind one another of our place, our power, our validity.
Today and always, celebrate with and fight for each other.
Happy Pride.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.
