We, as gay people, need to bring the hanky code back and just stick to good old fashioned cruising or something because what the hell is an “AI-first gay hookup app that’s not in the business of politics”??

After the Trump Administration is over, there has to be a reckoning to respond to the "massive & serious human rights violations" occurring now. We cannot "just move on." It is critical all of us call for some form of transitional justice in the wake of all this. www.ictj.org/what-transit...

If you put every American with pre-1776 ancestors in North America in one room, it would look a lot different than these people imagine it would.
If immigrating from England makes you a "heritage American" then I guess I'm one too.

Some of the most prevalent rumors fueling vaccine hesitancy are:
" africans are being used for experimentation"
" vaccines are meant to depopulate Africa"
" vaccines are meant to kill African babies"
a study like this will only add fuel to a raging fire that is already consuming vaccine uptake.

The reason they're so focused on trans teens is that people who transition younger typically blend into society better. To the extent that they're willing to tolerate our existence in society at all, they'd rather we be easily identified by our appearance/voices/etc.
Cis people really have no idea how it feels to watch a regime hold a press conference to admit, on camera, the pogrom against trans people they've been waging for 11 months is not only real, but they're going to double down on genocide and try to wipe out all the children first.

If Liam Neeson is gonna narrate some quack documentary we should pay Jesse Plemons 30 billion dollars to read things for two hours like “the earth is clearly round” “you should eat a healthy diet of a variety of foods and not just wet beef” & “do not suntan your butthole, it does not need that”

🌟 Peace on Earth to everyone who truly understands what is important and lives out their lives acknowledging it. 🌟

"The display includes traditional depictions of the magi, stable animals and other figures, but the banner above reads “Peace on Earth?” And propped up in the center of the arrangement, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus would normally appear, sits a sign that reads: “ICE was here.”
"The sign, in smaller font, notes that “the Holy Family is safe inside The Sanctuary of Our Church.” But it goes on to encourage viewers to call a local immigration justice hotline if they see ICE officers."
