I am a children’s book art director, and that’s it. That is my entire vibe.
Oh, and pop culture stuff.
Right right right—I’m also drawn to politics like a mosquito to a bug zapper.

I would disown these people over this. If your parents think it’s okay for their president to to do this to you and everyone you know, they don’t get to spend Christmas with their grandkids anymore.
On “The Necessary Conversation” podcast, Chad’s Trump supporter parents tell him the military should follow Trump’s illegal orders and kill everyone in LA if Trump commanded it — even with him and his sister in the city😳

I do have this to say: there are way more good people out there, even though we may disagree on some things and they may not have realized that they were voting for all this.

The thing about all this bullshit is that it is really really really unpopular.
‘Remigration’ is a term that comes out of the European far right. Its use by the DHS account is a sign of democratic and epistemic collapse
