my state is scary

I was dying and you shaved my head, I was dying and you forced conversion on me, I was dying and you poked me with dull, dirty needles, I was dying and you left me to rot on the floor and used the donations for my care to found new religious orders.

I did serve. I'm someone who carried too many flag-draped caskets in Arlington National Cemetery during the last dumb fucking war in the Middle East. I'm someone who had friends die 20 years ago and should be alive right now to see their kids graduate college and marry and have kids of their own. I'm someone who watched dumb fucking politicians and reporters sleepwalk into an unmitigated catastrophe and feel like I'm experiencing deja vu watching this go down. And I will not be quiet about it.

Proud of my team, even against these absolute bigots they show up and show out every year, even in a red state. Not to mention every year OUR CAPTAIN Roman Josi walks in the pride parade in Nashville ! 💖

They probably sent him an email that said "click here to see boobies."

Living in Nashville is weird because what do you mean some dude stepped in when the lady in front of him in the Publix checkout line was being rude to the cashier and the dude turned out to be Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin

🚨Do you understand the irony of what just happened.. the FBI spent two years investigating Hillary Clinton for using a personal email for government work.. it dominated every news cycle.. it decided an election.. "lock her up.." the man they put in charge of the FBI.. just got his personal email hacked by Iran.. the DOJ confirmed it.. Iran-linked group "Handala" breached FBI Director Kash Patel's personal email and got his data.. think about the timing.. America has fired 850 Tomahawk missiles at Iran this month.. spent billions.. and Iran didn't fire back with a missile.. they walked through the front door of the FBI.. and here's what nobody wants to say out loud.. the FBI Director was using a personal email in the first place.. the same thing the FBI called a national security threat when Hillary did it.. the agency that decides what's a crime.. doesn't follow its own rules.. The rules only apply until you're the one making them.

"The fight is moving into the adult arena," writes attorney Kat Grant, "and it is going to be up to each and every one of us [...] to prevent the damage of the Christian nationalist anti-transgender movement from spreading even further." Read more ➡️ ffrf.us/41sVQpt

Like everything else he says, this is a lie. "Harris led President-elect Trump 86% to 12% among LGBT voters, the poll found. That’s a 15-point change from 2020, when Trump won 27% of the LGBT vote against Biden." nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-po…

To commemorate my father’s 95th birthday, I want to remind Spock fans that dad’s parents were Ukrainian immigrants which shaped my father in many ways. Four years of Putin’s war has brought death and destruction to our people, our homeland. LLAP. #standwithukraine #ukraine
