A warmonger sold timeshares in hell on primetime while Texas criminalized listening to children. April doesn't ask permission. Also no one got my April’s fools joke yesterday, and so I was sad. ^_^.

The spray-tanned warmonger stood in the Cross Hall and told the nation his war is almost over. Thirteen dead. Gas at four dollars. Markets fell before he finished.
First time here? Welcome to The Gathering.
Editor's note: He called it "Operation Epic Fury" without a shred of goddamn irony.

Trump’s Prime-Time: A Huge Unfilling NothingBurger
The room was the Cross Hall. The lighting was designed to convey gravity. The constitutional arsonist spoke for nineteen minutes and said nothing he hadn't already posted online.
What he said: "We are on track to complete all of America's military objectives shortly, very shortly."

#KenPaxton — the gilded-toilet despot of Texas law — declared that therapists who affirm trans youth are committing child abuse. Under his interpretation of SB 14, licensed counselors face losing their licenses, #Medicaid funding, and potentially their freedom for telling a child they are believed.

"Y'all better quiet down. I've been trying to get up here all day." — Sylvia Rivera
Rivera screamed those words into a crowd that didn't want her — her own community, shouting her down for being too loud, too brown, too trans. She screamed anyway. The people who need you most will not always make it easy. Show up anyway. Quiet is not an option they've left us.

"I am today an out lesbian, okay, who just sued the United States of America." — Edie Windsor
Windsor didn't whisper that. She announced it — eighty-four years old and grinning — because the personal is legal is political, and the loop never stops. Carry that into every conversation where someone says the fight is too big. It's exactly your size. Suit the fuck up.

"I'm marrying the woman I love, and who has been my partner for the last 55 years. It's about time." — Del Martin
It's about time. 4 words containing 55 years of shared dishes, shared mornings where the law pretended they were strangers. She was eighty-seven. She did not wait for the country to be ready. The country was never going to be ready. You do it anyway. That's the damn answer.
