People always talked about
how they'd be the one's
hiding the Jews
during #WWII.

Funny, I see a lot of empty rooms...
and not a lot of hiding.

Wrote a piece that’s rage, grief, and razor wire. About bullies in power, the war on truth, and the cruelty dressed as policy. I’m tired, but I’m still here. Read it. Share it. Burn something metaphorical.

ICYMI:

Dan Crenshaw is still telling stories.
The facts still don’t matter.
And the panic still works every time.

If you’re tired of transphobes inventing stories instead of fixing problems, this one’s for you.
