Nothing subtle or complicated about what's happening. Did I mention the only refugees we're taking from the entire world are white people from South Africa?

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

I just sent this photo to a grad student in London who a friend connected me with—she’s writing a paper on sousveillance and wanted to talk about the role technology is playing in the response to ICE invasions

VoteHub projects the Virginia Redistricting Constitutional Amendment to pass.

The Department of Justice shouldn’t use its power to target its ideological enemies or dismantle civil rights. Now it is targeting the Southern Poverty Law Center. 1/2

Magnesuim taurate is a mysterious substance - many people are eating it as food supplement and... I cannot find it. I bought 5 different brands of "magnesuim taurate", 4 of them clear rubbish with 0% of magnesuim taurate, fifth was that close to fool me,

Sorry but if you're walking around accusing gay men of being pedophiles for having children, you deserve to have your ass beat, I don't care if that makes me "woke" or whatever.
