Trump administration withholds over $6 billion for after-school, summer programs and more Day camp providers and schools are warning that a Trump administration funding freeze could wreck summer for low-income American families and wipe out some after-school programming next year.

Coolcoolcool. Cool cool. So we're just flaunting taking candy from babies now? Oh, pardon, taking education, food, social skills, and enjoyment from children. My bad.

While doodling this, a maga hat wearing a "we rise by lifting each other up" shirt walked by and I just...I just can't.

Did you know that we as trans people don't have to redo Gender Wars shit? The dudes rock, the dolls rock, the theys rock. The only important distinction right now is are you cool or are you a cop.

The best thing you can give your mom is resistance. She taught you Nazis were bad.

My friend, scrolling through my feed and I did not think this was a bagel at first breath. Still not 100% convinced.
