UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Boy, @southwestair.bsky.social has really taken away every and any reason to fly with them. Even as a loyal customer.

I wanted to change my return flight on an upcoming trip and they told me I had to cancel the entire trip and rebook—no guarantee that my first day of flights would still be avail.

Republican National Convention
July 16, 2024
They told us exactly what they planned. My stomached turned then and turns every day now watching the hate they put on the citizens of the country I love.

Here’s a thought: Maybe we tell our MAGA relatives that if they don’t hear from us tomorrow, consider us raptured. Then we have a clean break AND make them question their own rapture-ability.

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash.

Pam Bondi knew.

Kash Patel knew.

Emil Bove knew.

And they made the investigation go away.

A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.
