Being so cold this morning in Belfast I have decided to post one of my favourite images to date. Taken in Ramberg back in 2020. Magical memories from the trip.

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

ICE: β€œWe don’t racially profile.”

Also ICE: Stops a Hispanic looking woman on her way into Walmart and immediately demands to know where’s she from.

She says β€œhere” and they say β€œwhere’s here? Were you born here?”
