The official website of the White House is now filled with the same absurdist, lies filled with transphobia and racismTrump has spewed for years. It is worse than I could've imagined. (On the history section no less!) Not surprising, but a sign of their lack of a line.

My kid made this shirt to support @humanrightsfirst.org Just today raided $132. Everyone can do something to stop what's happening. Buy a shirt to help a kid feel empowered.

Fascism is spreading so quickly because it's become a part of our culture. From the media we consume to the way we talk to each other, democratic culture is eroding.

Gavin Newsom is a traitor. He so quickly turned his back on trans people. If you are in a blue state and think that will save you from the fascist takeover, let him change your mind. #resist
