I am still a little spun that my intelligent mother chooses to watch FoxNews and chooses to believe Trump and his press secretary and all the FoxNews spin. And chooses to not believe me.

After a decade of this, I know it. But somehow it still stuns me each time I run smack into it.

It’s nice how they’ve replicated the middle school dynamic of the insecure bully and his sniveling sidekick picking on someone surrounded by a circle of scared little boys who also try to talk shit so the bully doesn’t come after them.

Or as the right calls it, β€œmasculinity.”

When your understanding of salvation equals your soul going to heaven when you die, it's a lot easier to ignore the material needs of your neighbor!

The pan-African flag sits vertical as the background. "Black History Month" is in white bold letters. the word "queer" is in yellow in the middle of Black and History. In black and white at the bottoms, are portraits of Roxanne Gay, Bayard Rustin, Marsha P. Johnson, and Doechii.

Despite anti-DEI campaigns, this Black History Month (and always) we will be celebrating the Black queer people who have made this world more equitable for ALL OF US.

Yes, everyone is correct. They're not advocating for a "strict meritocracy." Affirmative action is over. They're now suing over the very presence of Black people and Latinos in elite education and white collar careers.

They're advocating for resegregation. Call it out every time.

Trump will decide someone is a criminal (Elon will manufacture something from the data he's stealing), ship them off and they will disappear. No accountability in foreign prisons.

If things keep going like this, come Easter the only thing that will be dipped in pastel colored paints and hidden in the yard for kids to find are boiled potatoes.

Trump doesn’t remotely have the legal or practical authority to seize Gaza, expel its Palestinian inhabitants, spend billions to develop a Club Med resort, and mug Hamas. He’s drunk with belief in his own unchecked power. Don’t treat this as an actual idea. The words of a dictator.
