Flying the Resistance flag and the Trans Pride flag today because fuck Donald Trump, he’s an authoritarian, rapist, transphobe who has stoked fear of immigrants, seeks to further enrich the already super wealthy, and has enabled racists around the world. He sucks! 🥰

You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*
Flying Rhineland-Palatinate today! Today is the birthday of Nero Claudius Drusus (born in 38BC), the Roman general and emperor who founded the capital of this German state - Mainz.
