Extremely proud of my Senator for ignoring both the Trump administration and feckless Dems who called Kilmer Abrego Garcia a distraction. He went into a dangerous place and put a lot on the line.
Now bring him home.

Truly love that this is serving as a good block-lamp as well. Keep coming, fools.
To be clear: I have been busy with, well, yeah, but fuck JK Rowling and the anti-trans hate she happily basks in. (And fuck everyone over on this side of the ocean who decided that hating on a minority population like she has was the right approach to feeling better about yourself.)

1. A new poll shows a massive opposition to government censorship of transgender people happening now.
It also shows heavy opposition to the impacts of Trump's anti-trans executive orders... the military ban, teacher investigations, and trans youth care ban.
