I strongly agree with Micah and I'm someone who has too much grace for people who are young, having been a stupid kid once myself. But I want those who were the puppeteers under the goddamned jail. I want justice. But beyond my need for justice, please make no mistake Lack of justice will end us.

Trans people are a slightly LARGER percent of the US population in 2026 than Jewish people were in Germany in 1933. Assholes who say trans folk aren’t worth defending because of population size are telling us exactly who they would have been in Nazi Germany.

Texas has suspended over 1.2 million voter registrations. Many valid voters in Texas have found their voter registrations were somehow canceled when they checked. Check your registration here and fix it immediately - Texas doesn't always honor provisional ballots cast on election day.
