Not actually Batgirl. If this account were a book, it would be a spicy, queer manifesto with a side of sarcastic footnotes and a oatmilk Earl Grey latte with lavender syrup. πŸ––πŸ» #SussexSquad #KHive #Librarian

Possibly because they know they can’t right now. Anyone can say they commit to abolishing ICE. Following through is a totally different thing

Y’all love to get on Dems for not doing β€œanything” but last time I checked, Republicans keep blocking them! FFS, use your brain

All the Civil Rights icons are leaving us and it makes me profoundly sad.

What the hell are you smoking? If she was president right now, Renee Good, Alex Pretti, the dozens of detainees that died in ICE custody, and hundreds of thousands of people would STILL BE HERE!

Last time I checked, Joe Biden beat Trump in 2020. So clearly the Dems didn’t suck that badly, as opposed to leftist candidates who can’t make it past primaries

This video hit me right in the feels. I’m not crying. Just dust in my eyes as the Reverend Jesse Jackson passed through Columbia, SC.

J. Hud blows me away. I wish I could post the entire video.

Rest easy, Rev Jesse Jackson

It is WILD to see the visceral hatred for VP from both the far Left and the Right.

Stop tone policing Black women at a Black funeral. There are cultural nuances here you are not qualified to speak on.

Psychotic behavior? Fk all the way off

Not only are they not listening, they’re tone policing her at his funeral

She can say what she wants. It’s important for people to hear the message. And the Reverend was literally a civil rights icon - it would be weird if she didn’t bring up politics

I love funerals like this. I died when the gentleman pointed out the clock lol

Seems to me Rev. Jackson would be very pleased with what she said

Funny. Most Black people have no problem with her preaching like this at Rev Jackson’s funeral. Why do you?

Don’t tone police Black women. This was EXACTLY the time and EXACTLY the place.

I’m gonna make a t-shirt for VP that says β€œSe lo dijo” with her face on it.

β€œPresident Harris, President Clinton, President Bill Clinton…”

VP & Hillary were grinning, I love it.

I think if you’re OK with Graham Platner working for Blackwater, you have officially lost the moral high ground required to yell at anyone else for working for a military contractor or being in the military ever again

Like sorry you gotta choose!

Rest in power, Rev. Jesse Jackson. ❀️🫑

To be both openly queer and a librarian under this administration is exhausting.

People try to jail us for doing our jobs and erase us from history because of our sexuality.

I hate it
