Chuck Schumer stood at the podium Sunday and called the SAVE America Act one of the most despicable pieces of legislation I've come across.

That cock-juggling thunder-cunt Donald Trump won't sign any legislation until this bill hits his desk — because when your numbers are in the gutter, you don't fix the plumbing, you rig the water supply. The bill demands proof of citizenship to register

"Art is for everybody." — Keith Haring

You carry it the way Haring carried chalk into a tunnel: without asking permission. Art, protest, the act of showing your face — none of it waits for approval. You make the thing. You put it where people have to see it. When they say it doesn't belong, you draw it bigger. Pick up whatever you've got and fucking use it.

"I thought it would set us back 50 years if I didn't win." — Billie Jean King

She walked in knowing the weight wasn't just hers — it belonged to every woman told she wasn't enough. Showing up isn't about fearlessness. It's knowing the cost of sitting down is worse than standing. Today the court is a Senate chamber, a prison medical office, a registration line — but the game is the same.
