Expelling elected representatives for speaking truth to power isnβt just undemocratic.
Itβs unAmerican.
We stand in solidarity with the two Black members of the #Tennessee3 in the face of these morally-bankrupt expulsionsβand will ensure that their fight for gun reform endures.

But only within the framework established by the Constitution - which is pretty specific about many things.
Reminder to all allies this #blackfriday: When the racists try to silence our Black brothers and sisters, we hand them our megaphone. We use our platform to boost their voices. We give them our time on the floor. We form the snow plow to push all the other white bullshit out of the way so they can get through.
UKRAINIAN WAR POEM
Weep old woman
Your child has died
War comes a calling
A price for you to pay
Death set loose by the egos of man
Your child had to pay
War comes a calling
A price for all to pay

Iβve heard from pundits but the voices I need to hear amplified out of #Tennessee are the constituents who no longer have representation in their state legislature because racists threw a racist hissy fit.
I exist as the person that I am because of my local library.
I would go there whenever I wanted to read books.
Books donβt just go away when youβre finished them, their words sit on your mind, to sink deeper and deeper into you, until they are a part of who you are.
Sometimes a very important part.
The possibility for change is anathema to people who insist they have had the whole truth already revealed to them.
I think it's nice that woman with the broomstick is going out to save the people from that sinking ship.
Any written or unwritten rule about not #indicting a sitting #SCOTUS justice? Just asking, seems like #clarencethomas is going through some things. #impeach or #indict?
Also useful to remember that sex (the biological one) isn't quite as binary as some people would like to believe. There are many possibilities between XX and XY.
A few weeks ago I shared another colorful rain image of a #gay couple in the #rain and I was contacted by someone who hoped I might do a version where the men's faces were less visible, which was funny enough my original vision and I had taken a U-turn. I was happy to oblige. Hope you enjoy the latest!

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
