Centrists bigots and right wingers have this all backward. YOU are the ones constantly bringing up trans issues. I would be happy to not think about this shit every day of my life unless I was talking to or reading something by one of my trans friends and thought of it in passing. SHUT THE FUCK UP

Anyway I dunno if it'll be tonight or Sunday but my next color is done. A crop showing Douglass Hall in Mill Creek at Lawton and Beaumont (with a big polar wave plant in the background). Here in 1904 Louis Chauvin bested Tom Turpin in a ragtime context & in 1923 Garvey spoke to a sold out crowd

The Guardian is reporting that Trump is openly violating a court order, and has transferred multiple transgender women to men's facilities. We know in Florida, transgender women are having their hair shorn, feminine items confiscated, and pulled off medication. This is inhumane and illegal.

A suburban school district announces it hired a Black woman superintendent and within days, racist graffiti appears on the school wall. “Wite Power,” indeed. Racists clearly struggle with spelling, among other things. #Affton #stl

The thing I'll always remember about Al Green is that he was the first Democrat to introduce articles of impeachment against Trump in 2017, after Comey was fired. He also argued that Trump was impeachable for his bigotry alone. This was completely out of step with most Democrats and party leaders.
