What an absolute shit show. Vandalizing a memorial is wrong, period. But turning every case into a chest-thumping political spectacle with threats of a decade in prison is not justice—it’s performance politics. Accountability matters. So does proportionality.

Pirro announces arrest in WWII Memorial vandalism

Pirro said her office filed two felony charges against a woman who allegedly vandalized the WWII Memorial.

That feels a bit…. Hmmm…. Communist?

Can we get some of these gloves too? To defend ourselves when we try to exercise our first amendment rights?

Love this. At some point, “look over there!” stops being a strategy and starts looking like a confession. The Epstein files aren’t going away just because Trump creates another outrage cycle.

EVERYTHING this man does is to divert the focus from the EPSTEIN Files. E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G.

They call it “efficiency.” Look at who’s actually paying the price. Healthcare. Food assistance. Medical research. Public health. Worker protections. Cuts aren’t abstract when people live with the consequences. Check the facts. Follow the money.

This is spot on!

That’s what makes Ulrichs so fascinating—he was creating a language for queer identity before society had one. My husband’s Queertauqua production explores that courage, complexity, and forgotten history. Please check it out www.queertauqua.org #Queertauqua #QueerHistory

Hugh Ryan@hughryan.bsky.social · last mo.

is often called the first homosexual in history (ex www.thepinknews.com/2024/10/04/m...). And in many ways he looks like a gay man of today. But when he defined his own identity, he used the word urning, which he said was a female psyche in a male body - not at all how we think of homosexuality now

Love this posts! Gotta check out A Series of Unmentionable Acts explores Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, a man who was articulating an innate queer identity and demanding dignity in the 1860s. His story deserves to be known. www.queertauqua.org #Queertauqua #KarlHeinrichUlrichs #QueerHistory

The formal recognition of homosexuality as an innate identity rather than just a deviant behavior started in the 1860s in Germany, driven by pioneer Karl Heinrich Ulrichs (A lawyer, jurist, journalist, writer, and regarded as a pioneer of sexology and the modern gay rights movement).

This is why my husband created Queertauqua. *A Series of Unmentionable Acts* brings Karl Heinrich Ulrichs’ remarkable story to life—a man who dared to speak openly for gay rights in the 1860s, long before the modern movement existed. [www.queertauqua.org](www.queertauqua.org)

14th July 1895: Karl Heinrich Ulrichs dies. He was the first openly gay lawyer and a pioneer of the modern gay rights movement. #OnThisDay #Queerstory

Karl Heinrich Ulrichs was speaking publicly for queer dignity decades before the modern LGBTQ+ movement even had a name. That’s exactly why my husband’s Queertauqua production, A Series of Unmentionable Acts, matters—bringing erased queer history back into view. www.queertauqua.org

New in my Library, my translation of a rare and special story: "Manor" by Karl Heinrich Ulrichs (1885), one of the earliest vampire tales to take the form of an openly gay love story. The tragic tale tells of the love of two teen boys, one undead. www.jasoncolavito.com/manor.html

Amen!!!

Queer history lives not only in archives, but in folklore, myth and the monsters society created to police difference. This sounds fascinating—and it perfectly echoes the mission of Kansas City’s Queertauqua and A Series of Unmentionable Acts. #QueerHistory #Queertauqua #LGBTQHistory

Fingers crossed!

Democracies are supposed to celebrate constitutions and institutions — not gilded statues of politicians. History has seen this movie before.

This is a real posting! Trump truly loves the ignorant people!

Let’s all post it and see if they try to go after all of us.

Happy Easter!

The same people yelling that airport security is failing… are the ones refusing to fund the TSA. And now their “solution”? Send in masked federal agents. That’s not fixing the problem—that’s creating a worse one. Airports don’t need to feel like a military zone.

He’s an embarrassment to this country!

Spot on!!
