Marjorie Taylor Greene Showed My Photo In Congress And Called Me A Monster. Here's Why I’m Fighting Back.
As a drag queen who reads and writes children’s books, this was certainly not the first time I have faced attacks, by politicians and otherwise. My second: It’s funny that Greene and other MAGA Republicans have yet to learn that it’s a bad idea to pick a fight with a drag queen. Largely missing from this political circus, however, was a strong defense of diverse public media. To be clear: I mean no shade to either of these public media leaders, as they were put in a very difficult position. So, it’s time to stand our ground: not only against homophobia, transphobia and censorship, but for diverse public media, libraries, schools and other institutions.

The Trump administration has claimed that those who “self-deport” now will get the chance to reenter the U.S. later. Officials have also used the brutal conditions in immigration detention as self-deportation propaganda. We also don’t know what the Trump administration considers a “self-deportation,” or if they are counting these figures in their overall deportation numbers.
