Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

I think "killing children is always bad" is maybe the easiest simplest position to hold.

Your Rage is Completely Justified….

The rage you are feeling watching $1,000,000 in American bombs obliterate a school in the Middle East while you can’t afford to take your child to the dentist is completely justifiable.

US military says three of its troops killed in first Iran operation casualties Three U.S. service members have been killed and another five have been seriously wounded, in the first casualties of the unfolding U.S. operations against Iran, the U.S. military said on Sunday.

Reports indicate at least 100 children have already been killed in strikes on schools. That is unconscionable.

Three U.S. service members are dead as a result of this entirely preventable war of choice.

The blood of these service members, these children, and every civilian rests in Trump’s hands.

Hey Dad,
Why don’t you take that stupid gun you bought for no reason at the age of 70 and go use it in this war that you voted for???

I haven’t spoken to my father in almost a decade, but I really feel like stopping by his house and punching him in the face.

The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan.

Time to Fight: H.R. 7661 Call To Action

Art matters. And what do we do with things that matter? We protect them.

Here is information about H.R. 7661, a US book banning bill that explicitly targets books about trans people, and what you can do right now to help stop it.

If more people could understand that personal memories are not the same thing as history, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.
