Community outraged after Iowan dresses up as a Nazi at Halloween event A central Iowa man and bar is facing backlash from the community after he went to a Halloween event dressed as a Nazi.

“This is not satire, it is antisemitism. Free speech is not a shield for minimizing hate. We expect our community’s businesses and institutions to reject antisemitism clearly and immediately.” - Statement from the Jewish Federation of Greater Des Moines https://ow.ly/S8yJ50XlV1o

The Pride Progress Flag

The Pride Progress Flag

Pride began as a riot - an act of revolution to declare "we're here, we matter, and we will not be erased." As a celebration, Pride is a means to stand together and remind one another of our place, our power, our validity.

Today and always, celebrate with and fight for each other.

Happy Pride.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.
