@AlliFlowers They keep insisting he and Swalwell broke laws and/or lied about EVERYTHING! Until, of course, they need to actually provide any evidence of their claims…

Mayor Amer Ghalib is America’s first Yemeni mayor

Hamtramck, Michigan also has a Muslim majority city council

Yay diversity right?

Mayor Ghalib is quoted saying he tries to govern fairly for everyone

…but

He said LGBTQ+ supporters are “forcing their agendas on others”

The Muslim city council added the pride flag clashes with the beliefs of members of their faith

And the city has now banned Pride flags on public property

*A* religion isn’t the problem

All religions are the problem.

Drug dealers tell each other to "never get high on your own supply." The same thing is true with right-wing media.

Right-wing elites like Mitch McConnell emphatically practice this dictum. Trump doesn't. It's why he's in so much trouble /end

The anniversary of Roe v. Wade’s overturning approaches, and we are preparing to mark it as a yahrtzeit –a day of collective mourning for all those who have been harmed grievously by abortion bans--and recommitting to the work of fighting for reproductive freedom for all.

We've created a ritual for use at home, and will be gathering together online next Friday to honor all those who have suffered and died because of bans, together. Join us:

BANNED: Gender, Race and Sexuality Studies
A new Florida law severely restricts gender, race and sexuality studies at state-funded colleges—and eliminates diversity programs altogether. Far from just a “Florida problem,” this is one piece of an alarming right-wing strategy spreading nationwide

Scary. Fascist. Dystopic. Unreal. Painful. Absurd. ...

This was a war crime.

Using Bard (Google has all my info already anyway) to get resume and a job description to match better and I shit you not it keeps saying "ask a human for feedback" and I am kinda amused.

Here's a good way to think about what the modern GOP means when they use the term, STATE RIGHTS.

@TonyStark It's replacement theory bullshit. Jews bringing people of color and/or Muslims to "replace" white Christians. Two for one hatred, both antisemitism and xenophobia/racism/Islamophobia, depending on who the murder and his ilk think is trying to replace them.

Immigrants and refugees make better neighbors than people who would march screaming about being replaced.

Nothing will bring 11 people back but I hope the Pittsburgh community finds healing.
