Don Lemon was arrested in a hotel
The Trump regime is indicting journalists. Protesters entered a church. The Trump regime believes it can stop this. It got a grand jury indictment. But journalists also have constitutional rights.

¡It’s Nuestra América!
In Bogotá, celebrating solidarity against aggression. Another world order is possible. I don’t know how we’ll get there, but we have to try.

Rahm Emanuel: ‘Acceptance,’ not ‘advocacy’
He’s describing a culture of self-acceptance. However you choose to treat trans people, proudly accept yourself! You’re doing great! His discourse infantilizes and rejects us. There’s no plan let us co-lead, especially on issues that matter to us. He wants to let MAGA have their way.

The Epstein Files show a rift between atheists & the consciousness movement
What I still want to know is: Why are Epstein’s close associates anti-trans? Dawkins is not open to the idea that trans people might make interesting or worthy arguments. He does, however, declare he’d listen to how people could merge with chimps.

Your gamete isn’t what wins a boxing match. That’d be your fist.
And other ideas I have after listening to Richard Dawkins tell Lawrence Krauss about his book chapter in ‘The War on Science’. If they’re accurately representing what trans people say, why don’t they invite a trans person on their show to say it? Why the intentional exclusion?
