If you want to stand up against fascism, then you have to defend trans rights. It’s nonnegotiable. We all lose otherwise.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

The Klan has taken over the federal government and the silence of white politicians or other prominent white people is deafening. Trump is building a concentration camp, rounding up people for speaking Spanish and blaming plane crashes on Black peoples and its crickets.

President Biden did the right thing by pardoning Hunter. There is no question that Hunter would have been persecuted by a Trump controlled DOJ. Pundits need to miss me with the pearl clutching when we have a band of rapacious and racist reprobates about to take power.
