Drag shows are so threatening to fragile men they require the commander in chief of the world’s superpower to try and ban them in all caps
Fascism hates books, hates the people who write them, publish them, print them, sell them (unless of course they’re books of fascist propaganda). So we must keep making them and they must be revolutionary. May Mahmoud and Ahmed break the chains of the occupation ⛓️💥
