Today's Amanda

Amanda Nelson has been on fire lately.

The regime keeps doubling down. It's what they do because authoritarian assholes have nothing else in the toolbox.

Get out there and do it

And I'm too old to worry about meaningless differences like the color of somebody's skin, or the way they pray, or who they love, or whatever.

So I say this loud and proud to the "elites":
