This is all kinds of stupid and frustrating, but that he wouldn't see this coming when Abbott had the Texas GOP kick the Log Cabin Republicans out of their yearly convention, like, two or three years ago(?I think? May have been even earlier), and the primary target of the CRA hysteria has been queer teachers really just makes it special. This isn't even surprise over getting his face ate, Republicans have ALREADY been doing that for years now, this is complaining that the leopard, who you have helped and encouraged to eat your face, is eating your face too painfully.

in the UK, if 100k sign a a government petition it will be brought to Parliament and debated. y'all know this country is suffering from some 80s-style bigotry right now, and this is one symptom: almost 200k fuckholes have come together to force the government to discuss whether it is 'appropriate' to tell children that queer people exist. this is a big symbolic victory for them. and i am burning with fury.
please, if you're from the UK, sign this counter-petition so they can at least see how much of a minority they are. simply put, the attempt to put these bastards in their place isn't gathering enough steam. there are barely 2000 more signatures now than there were this morning, and that isn't enough. i refuse to let these people feel even a moment of victory or satisfaction. please help.
@elytrians @thebibliosphere you both may have better reach for this
Oh, fuck entirely all of that. UK tumblr, let’s go.

Here’s a Paul Krugman article on the issue of Russian influence in the 2016 Election, and those who aided it. Aside from being one of the few post-election articles I’ve seen that acknowledges the revelation of Russian interfere isn’t anything new, it also provides plenty of good links[EDIT 1: was originally “likes” X|] to other stories dealing with specific aspects of the issue.
