So IT: Welcome to Derry? Legit scary. 5/5 creepy clowns

Oh look, the cease fire is already under threat and aid is being halved. "The war is over" is sounding a lot like "mission accomplished" did

"Today, an emergent wave of right-wing populist leaders uses social media to question and break down reality, triggering rage and paranoia on a bed of exponential lies. This is how fascism is normalized and where political outrage meets terrorism"

If Kimmel's doesn't end up in court on First Amendment grounds, I'll be shocked. As soon as it's the government pushing it, that's a paddlin'

I admit it - I am the leader of ANTIFA.

I am having serious trouble trying to avoid pulling out the old 30-50 feral hog memes on this one..

20 cops showed up to arrest the guy for throwing a sandwich

This week was great for killing imposter syndrome. A VP told me he loved my updates, then having someone who is NEVER happy telling me they were happy, and third was someone asking me how I remain so calm when dealing with difficult people or situations.

Stonewall was a riot. One of the activities during the raids of police on the bar was checking the sex of patrons to enforce gender clothing standards. It's always been about our trans brothers and sisters.

Ok, my brain just did a silly. 86 47, but now he's TACO. I can't 86 tacos, that would just be wrong, so Let's go Taco!

Using FREE speech to deny the existence of people moves from disagreement to threats. The events at Cal Anderson were a reaction to those threats. The location of the rally was antagonistic and followed a very old script designed to provoke a response
