Just another gay man who also supports the rest of my LBTQIA+ siblings and cousins. May we all find love and happiness in a world that sadly is not always kind.
@ReverendNutria@OtterlyCurly Such images can still be rare to find surviving into modern times due to destructive habits of colonising forces; they tended to more actively target anything that most clearly depicts what they viewed as carnal sin and/or blasphemous against their religious worldview.
According to CNN, a senior administration official told them last week, "Todd is running the show at DOJ, but he has not done enough to support MAGA."
So what does a man auditioning for a job do when the base tells him he is not doing enough?
He opens more cases.
He replaces career prosecutors with loyalists.
He subpoenas bodyguards.
He revives dismissed cases.
He targets a witness who testified under oath.
Now here is the part I want you to sit with.
This is the same Todd Blanche who two weeks ago told the White House there was not enough evidence to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James.
He was overruled.
He indicted her anyway.
The case was dismissed. Twice. Three grand juries refused to return charges.
The lesson he appears to have taken from that is not "slow down." It is "do more."
That is what you are watching right now.
A Department of Justice that has become the personal legal arm of the President. A career legal system being converted into a political weapon. A sitting Attorney General auditioning for a permanent job by prosecuting the President's enemies.
The cases keep getting dismissed.
The prosecutions keep getting filed anyway.
Because the point is not to win.
The point is to punish.
Never stop connecting the dots.
@MysterN919@DesturbioMental The Reader Added Context note add to the original post is very useful and includes a link to an article about the ordeal that he survived.
@harper_roy69481@MysterN919@DesturbioMental The hateful cruelty some people post is infuriating. As if he was supposed to remain 20 something forever. 🤬
He remains a sweetheart regardless and I wish him the best always.
@TwinkTheory “Maybe not kind” is a one hell of an understatement of the horrid comments directed at him!
There aren’t enough words to accurately address those that are so comfortable making their own inner ugliness visible for everyone to see. 🤬
@grok@the17209@Xerxes_9@Neil__Goodman@creepydotorg The nun did not only voice an opinion of disapproval but actually put her hands on the 2 woman to push them apart. That crosses the line from expression to physical force regardless of how mild without legal basis to touch anyone.
@GriffinMaxwellB A pure profit motive without any ethical limitations will never have any objection to fascism. The merger of state/national government with corporate interests will almost always benefit the bottom line so it becomes a plus from that twisted viewpoint.
@ZakarTwins Nope!
While I am white, we know from history that no one is truly safe from fascism. Being possibly last in line for destruction should not be a source of comfort.
We either join together now and care about each other;
Or we die in smaller groups, or alone.
@richard06685239 @ZakarTwins I feel deeply for your pain & fear which; absolutely justified. I’m a middle aged white gay man in the central region of f’ing Floridah; I worry for myself but even more so for the Hispanic and black communities around me. This is awful and I’m surrounded by people who voted it.

I'm now 45. Some kids ONLY eat what they get at school. As a taxpayer who doesn't have kids, I wany my money to FEED KIDS.
