We've got an event on September 7! Hope to See you all there! (This event was originally scheduled for August 31)
BREAKING— It's official. The Department of Justice has sued Gov. Abbott and Texas over their inhumane and unlawful border buoy and razor wire stunt at the southern border.
Three books of poetry by @rupikaur_ have been officially banned for the next eight years from the shelves of Brevard Public Schools libraries and classrooms — with no option to appeal. More books are slated for review. #NotAHoax #Florida #BannedBooks floridatoday.com/story/news/202…
Why are book bans dangerous? 1⃣ They keep kids from learning about our history. 2⃣ They seek to erase certain identities from classrooms & libraries. 3⃣ Book bans are just a way for extremists to hoard more power for themselves. And that's just for starters. #LetAmericaRead
58-yo Susan Lorincz has been arrested and charged with manslaughter and other offenses in the Ocala (FL) shooting death of neighbor Ajike Owens, who was shot through a closed door. This is an important step in a NECESSARY journey to justice for AJ.
WHOA! The Supreme Court's final decision of the day is a 5–4 ruling that AFFIRMS the Voting Rights Act's protection against racial vote dilution! Roberts and Kavanaugh join the liberals. This is a HUGE surprise and a major voting rights victory. supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf…

I want to be perfectly clear on this. White Supremacy movements ARE THE LARGEST Domestic threat to national security. How do I know? I’m a qualified Naval Anti-Terrorism Officer with 23 years experience. The DoD is constantly monitoring and denying these group’s purchase…
Can we just take a moment & thank Stormy Daniels for coming out against Donald Trump and sharing her story? Her courage and bravery has now resulted in a former President of the United States being indicted for his crimes. Stormy Daniels is a hero for democracy & justice.
trump is melting the fuck down on his fake twitter and it’s absolutely fucking glorious to behold. 😂😂
You wanting to keep YOUR child from reading a book with a gay main character doesn’t mean you get to decide if MY child can. Your desire to keep YOUR child from learning ACCURATE black history doesn’t mean MY child doesn’t get to. And just because YOU’RE offended by…
Words matter. Phrases like “partial birth abortion”, “late term abortion”, and “abortion up until the time of birth” were created to shock, dehumanize, and ultimately control women. These are political, not medical terms.
🚨 Alert Alert 🚨
Mike Pence has yet to apologize for making a homophobic attack against Pete Buttigieg for raising his child. This is the same Mike Pence who boasts about how Christian he is and how much he cares about family values. Absolutely disgusting.
The neo-Nazi "Blood Tribe" group did get along well with "White Lives Matter Ohio." "Weimar conditions!" the two groups chanted together outside the drag event. "Weimar solutions!" "Heil Hitler!" yelled the Nazis, as they waved swastika flags.
Sigh. Nazis in Ohio. tiktok.com/t/ZTRsT8cGy/
In Ohio. THIS PAST WEEKEND.
In Ohio. THIS PAST WEEKEND.
INBOX: Ottawa County Commissioner Jacob Bonnema, who was elected as one of the upstart conservative group Ottawa Impact-endorsed candidates, cuts ties with Ottawa Impact three months after assuming office.
You wanna ‘protect the children’ ? How about do better as a parent and teach your kids acceptance , compassion and respect. That’s all they need to ‘safely’ interact with Queer gender identities. Instead, you are teaching hate, discrimination and judgement. Wake up!
BREAKING: Mike Pence just asked a judge to block a grand jury subpoena for his role on January 6th. Let’s be clear; Mike Pence wouldn’t be doing this unless he’s still scared of Donald Trump and has something to hide. What a scaredy cat.

I decided to turn this into an essay. Please share widely, and please do subscribe: charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/what-target-…
On the other hand: if Target and other companies refuse to play this bullshit game with enraged bigots, they will solidify their loyalty with reasonable adults and their families. Don't give in to these hateful people. You will never satisfy their craving for outrage. /thread
Companies need to understand what's happening right now. You cannot mollify bigots whose primary desire is to be angry. You've already lost them. They're gone. If you cave to them, you're sacrificing the loyalty of other consumers for a sad, small group that will never like you.
Target thinks this is going away, and it's not. Target could pull all their Pride merchandise and sever every relationship they have with the LGBTQ community, but anything short of a corporate statement of "Yeah, we hate LGBTQ people, too" will not end this.
For rightwing grifters, Christmas is every day right now. All they have to do is feed these people things to get irate over and rake in the cash. Click and subscribe. Buy their book. Buy their bullshit wellness product. "I will make you angry." It's a paid service.
They are angry, and beneath that, they are very, very scared. They will claim they're not scared. But they're terrified. None of this works without fear. Fear of what? Uncertainty over their place in a changing society that increasingly doesn't defer to them.
If they can't get that world back, what's the next best thing? Finding community in outrage. These people go out of their way to be angry. They'll share rightwing clickbait articles they know to be false because it gives them permission to be spitting hot mad.
But that America is long gone, and it's never coming back. We are witnessing the very long and painful *last gasp* of that world. And boy, are they furious. Enraged. They've had to keep quiet about it for so long, but in the past several years, the quiet part became very loud.
These people long for an America that always catered to those who look and act like them -- that is: white, heterosexual, traditional families. They use religion as a shield for their bigotry. They don't really care about what Christ taught; he's just a convenient vehicle.
