A warden says to a member of the press "since drag brunch is so popular, we've started doing it for our death row inmates' last meals." A drag stands awkwardly next to a sullen death rown inmate. She sits against the wall and smokes a cig as hig head lowers. He says "please hold me. I'm so scared." She says "the warden specifically told me I can't do that."

A tweet by Mike Primavera altered to read β€œMy neighbor told me Afghanistan keeps eating his empires so I asked how many empires he has and he said he just
enters a period of decline and invades Afghanistan afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding dying empires to Afghanistan and then Sir Arthur Barrett started crying.” The original tweet reads β€œMy neighbor told me coyotes keep eating his outdoor cats so I asked how many cats he has and he said he just goes to the shelter and gets a new cat afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding shelter cats to coyotes and then his daughter started crying.”

When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.
