When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t. Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

NEW β€” I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

Here's the thing.

I feel like, if you'd spoken to a group of women, of any & all backgrounds, they could have predicted this. Same-same Black people. Same-same LGBTQIA+ folks. Same-same Jews.

I'm never surprised when men ~joke~ about raping women & non-Jews about shoving Jews into ovens.

Literally nothing coming from the Pentagon, DHS, or DOJ should be considered credible unless backed up by an independent source outside of government. (This, for the record, is a huge problem!)

Fuck ALL of them who tried to pretend they cared about free speech when all they ever wanted was hate speech without consequences. They were full of shit then and they always will be. And yes, I know they will find a way to defend this because they have no center and they have no bottom.

The House speaker claims this has nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. Then why delay the swearing in of Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva, who handily won a special election in Arizona *two weeks* ago?
