Trevor Hill is the gay socialist revolutionary we need right now.

I feel like “sucking dick and punching Nazis” should be an illustrated meme

On this day in 1943, gay anti-fascist resistance fighter Willem Arondeus led a group in bombing the Amsterdam Public Records Office to hinder Nazi efforts to identify Dutch Jews . Thousands of files were destroyed. Within a week, Arondeus and the other members of the group were arrested. Twelve, including Arondeus, were executed that July by firing squad. In his last message before his execution, Arondeus said, “Let it be known that homosexuals are not cowards.”

“Let it be known that homosexuals are not cowards.”

^This! 

These Nazi/Fascist assholes going around on social media calling marginalized people cowards, fragile, weak but I’m pretty sure if we can all put up with multiple intersections of oppression and abuse for decades on end or our entire lives, even, we can fight in a damn war against genocidal inhuman bastards.

And win

Angela Peoples did not come to the Women’s March on Washington to play. The 30-year-old co-director of the LGBTQ equality organization GetEqual came to Saturday’s massive protest against Donald Trump to tell the truth. Marching in a sea of white women, Peoples wore a hat that read, “Stop Killing Black People,” and carried a sign that read in part, “White Women Voted for Trump.”

As a group of white women in pink pussy-hats took selfies behind Peoples and her sign, her boyfriend, photographer and digital strategist Kevin Banatte, asked her to pause so he could take her picture. The photo of the oblivious women and Peoples, sucking on a lollipop, holding her sign with an unapologetic look on her face, quickly went viral.

TR: Why did you decide to create the sign “White Women Voted for Trump”?

AP: We need to be really honest about why we’re here. There was a sense for me of being at the march and in community with folks that were wanting to resist this horrifying reality, but also not wanting folks to get complacent.

TR: How did people respond to you and your sign?

AP: Most were saying, “Not this white woman,” or “No one I know!” I’d say, “[Fifty-three percent] of white women voted for Trump. That means someone you know, someone who is in close community with you, voted for Trump. You need to organize your people.” And some people said, “Oh, I’m so ashamed.” Don’t be ashamed; organize your people.

That’s why the photo was such a great moment to capture, because it tells the story of white women in this moment wanting to just show up in a very superficial way and not wanting to do the hard work of making change, of challenging their own privilege. You’re here protesting, but don’t forget: The folks that you live with every single day - and probably some of the women that decided to come to the march - voted for Trump, made the decision to vote against self-interests to maintain their white supremacist way of life.”

I get that everyone loves Chrissy Teigen because she’s so “sassy” but I’ll never forget that she called 9 year old Quvenzhane Wallis cocky and then joked with the Onion when they called Quvenzhane a cunt

I dislike her so much like I can’t with her being celebrated so much and hailed for being a groundbreaking celeb

Fuck Chrissy Teigen for life
