He argues that fascist movements select queer (especially trans) people to target as they consolidate power, because these folks represent a small minority community.

And he points out that the targeting worked in Nazi Germany. Germany went from being a culture relatively tolerant of queer people, especially in cities, to jumping on the Nazi bandwagon — proving that it can happen here, too.

When I open the door, he won’t walk outside until he feels me pick up his lead. We’re a team.

After being out of the country for a week, I was in a Costco line where two shoppers behind me were trading distinctly Q-themed theories of the Kennedy assassination. Back home again!

Too many uses for this word, but I'm glad it exists.

@flexghost and now the whole Republican Party is working for Putin. Every single one of them are traitors to our country.

There's no position I've taken in my comics that has harmed my career more than opposing the Iraq War did. Mainstream liberals joined with conservatives to support it, and if you were against it, you were an "unserious" peacenik on the outskirts.

From 2003, just before the invasion:

Indiana: Teachers Oppose Bills to Divert More Public Funds to Private Schools and to Demonize Teachers and Librarians - Republican culture warriors continue their crusade to end free public education. https://dianeravitch.net/2023/03/21/indiana-teachers-oppose-bills-to-divert-more-public-funds-to-private-schools-and-to-demonize-teachers-and-librarians/ via @dianeravitch #politics #education

@Homebrewandhacking @polarbear @Remittancegirl this is so true. Her career should have ended right there but instead she was rewarded for it.

Gaby Hinsliff writes,

"Remember, too, when the home secretary harrumphs about 'woke' policing that this is a force arguably nowhere near woke enough. Almost one in eight female staff reported being sexually harassed or assaulted at work. A Muslim officer found bacon stuffed offensively in his boots; a black officer recalled being repeatedly asked for ID inside police stations and mistaken for a prisoner, even when wearing a suit."

Chipping Sparrow.

I chose this photo this morning using a scientific method. Not unlike "pin the tail on the donkey." 😅 Actually, I accidentally opened it with Lightroom and decided "this will do." 🙂

This sparrow looks well fed; I'm guessing it is a frequent visitor to my back yard. I'm amazed at how confidently the little bird sits on a small stem coming off that branch.

“In this world of ours, the sparrow must live like a hawk if he is to fly at all.” - Hayao Miyazaki
