A retired Major General told America that Pete Hegseth’s words are “absolutely the words of potential war criminals.” The Secretary of Defense. Of the United States.

As the writer who outed Rowling and her malignant transphobia long before this, I recall Snopes saying my article false, harry potter fans wishing death upon me, and LGBT folks saying I was doing more harm than good because they were certain she was "An ally." Well, here we are, 7 years later.

You absolutely cannot separate the artist and the art without contributing to the persecution of trans people. Boycott everything Potter.

The war with Iran is insanity in its own right. But it is gross incompetence Trump went to war with Iran with no plan to keep open the Strait of Hormuz. Now Iran is laying mines, global oil shipping is paralyzed, gas prices are skyrocketing and food prices are close behind.

Americans are surrendering their beloved pets to shelters because they can no longer afford to feed them. Americans are choosing between Rent and Medicine. USA's Poorest and disabled are told to buy baby food if they can't afford real food to eat.

I used to work for the government. In order to justify budgets, bad actors overspend at the end of the fiscal year. So the administration spent $93B on bullshit to justify massive Pentagon budget proposals, all while gutting health care and food assistance. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

the-independent.comUS military spent $9 million on crab legs and lobster in the months before Iran warSecretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also authorized the $100,000 purchase of a Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, according to a watchdog report

Have you heard of Citizens Bank? No? Well Citizens Bank happens to finance ICE detention centers through CoreCivic & Geo Group. Citizens Bank might need to learn the lesson that the public taught Target! Surely mass closing of bank accounts isn’t good for a bank

"Iran tried to kill Trump, and Trump got the last laugh." Where once I sympathized, I no longer believe anyone ever tried to kill Trump. More false flags. This administration has lied regardless of all evidence pointing to the contrary, he's made anyone who ever sympathized with him look a fool.

Let us be clear This was was not to stop the Iran from having nuclear weapons. OR to stop Iran leadership killing protestors. OR because Iran was going to attack US. OR because anyone in Iran tried to assassinate Trump. Their stories change daily. We know this is the Trump doing Netanyahu's bidding.

BREAKING: Donald Trump started a violent, long war and is considering reinstating the draft. But Trump has had a medical examiner preemptively declared his son, Barron, disabled and exempt.

How do our active duty service members feel about their lives being mere toys to a pedophile in orange facepaint desperate to look powerful?

Donald Trump has just shown every American the rule of law doesn't matter. Congress does not matter. Permission is not needed. He is acting exactly like a King, instead. He just hit a school killing dozens of Iranian children. All of this for Israel. Fuck Netanyahu. Fuck Trump.

This is #Trump’s MAGA nominee Jeremy Carl, during a confirmation hearing, quite proudly and grotesquely spewing white supremacy from the floor of senate. #politics #news

For now, Blue Sky is the final bastion of free speech in America, as Twitter, Google, Meta and now TikTok have all fallen to MAGA reign and the latters algorithm is, as of January 22nd, a Trumpian propaganda tool.

I was cleaning my basement today and found an old letter to someone named Alex that I had written almost 30 years ago. I was barely 18. #LGBT #LGBTQ #Trans #Transgender #Queer #MentalHealth #gay #loveislove #BeforeWeHadTheWords #90s
