A scrapbooky, zine-like image. In the top left corner there’s a picture of a young kid in rainbow face paint waving a rainbow flag atop a woman's shoulders, as they both watch a pride parade.  A photo of a group of people, young and old, carrying a pink LESBIAN & GAY PRIDE banner is seen in the bottom center. Top right, a picture of two gorgeous drag queens: one in a light pink wig and white dress decked in butterflies, and the other literally dressed as Lady Liberty in a rainbow toga. 

Text throughout, in mismatched fonts and on torn paper, reads "Q: So, what is QLL? a: Queer Liberation Library is an ONLINE DIGITAL LIBRARY …that is by and for the LGBTQIA+ community and our allies, focusing on queer materials and queer perspectives.”

If every Democratic leader isn’t on every camera available blaming Donald Trump and Elon Musk for today’s clusterfuck it will be political malpractice.

White letter with text 
Please vote AGAINST Kash Patel for Director of the FBI. Even among President-Elect Donald Trump’s own supporters, Patel is bad news. For example, the former president’s hand-picked Attorney General Bill Barr blocked Patel’s 2020 appointment for Deputy FBI Director. In fact, Barr said of the proposed appointment “over my dead body.” (Barr is now on a “deep-state enemies” list that Patel has created.)

Certainly, the FBI has a troubling history of targeting individuals who challenge power structures—while also often letting criminals off the hook. But Patel has no plans to reform those failures. Just the opposite: he wants to turn the bureau into his personal tool for vengeance.

It is clear that the incoming administration wants to humiliate, discredit, and remove power from the other branches of America’s government—including YOURS. With Patel as head of the FBI, you yourself might one day fall under his attack, despite any support you might have for the next administration and its head.

Congratulations everyone willing to sacrifice American excellence, pride and freedom (just to start) for better egg prices that you were never going to get in the first place.

I’ll remember your ignorance and apathy with every family ripped apart.

I bought myself a kindle stand and a hand free clicker so I can comfortably lay down and read in bed. The world is on fire. I deserve a treat. (I meant to ask for this for Christmas but hubby just ordered it after I texted him. Yeah me!)

Vote NO on H.R. 9495 — the nonprofit-killer bill! I am writing to urge you to vote NO on H.R. 9495 — the nonprofit-killer bill. Under the provisions of the bill, the Treasury Secretary would have unilateral authority to accuse any nonprofit group of supporting terrorists and give the nonprofit only 90 days to respond to a notice. After just 90 days, the unsuccessful appeals would result in their tax-exempt 501(c)(3) status being stripped. This measure could cripple nonprofits I care about. With this bill, religious and humanitarian groups who help victims of political violence can also be labeled terrorists. This could affect the work of charities operating in Yemen, Sudan, Haiti, and other distressed places. It is already illegal under U.S. law to provide material support for terrorism therefore the bill is redundant. This bill is driven by political motivation to give Donald Trump and his administration the ability to silence nonprofits to stifle dissent of any kind. PLEASE VOTE NO. Thank you for your consideration.
