I'm just here to express love for the baseball watching experience. I've gone to Fenway as a Yankees fan, a few games at Yankee stadium, and a few other sites and games with no rooting interest and I always have fun even if the Yankees lose, though of course winning is more fun I just love the game.

And now Stonewall National Monument under Trump has erased the very thing she fought for.

Love the support, Zohran. Thanks, sincerely.

6. In one glaring example, Sylvia Rivera’s section originally stated, “At a young age, Sylvia began fighting for gay and transgender rights.” The revised version read, “gay and rights,” with the word “transgender” removed entirely, rendering the sentence nonsensical:

Whoever thought it was a good idea to still hit the walkout music is the unsung hero.

Legitimately tearing up. Right now things seem so dark at times to have someone running who sees queer people as people and not just votes or pawns. Someone who honors all queer people and is proud to say it. It really does give me hope.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

In video games, you will often find a fully roasted chicken abandoned on the ground, and eating it extremely quickly makes you feel better. What's less known is that this is also true in real life

I really don't think you're accurately representing what the reporter asked here and the whole framing is a bit misleading

this really is all just about resentment over obama being given the prize

BARTIROMO: On your point about the Nobel Peace Prize, do you think maybe the reason Trump won't get it is because you had to get the application in before Jan. 31, and that was only 11 days into his term?

SCALISE: Look, they can play technicalities. They gave it to Obama for just getting elected.

I really don't think it's a fair representation of the reporter's question. The reporter briefly described Trump's threats and then asked the committee their thoughts on it and how it affected their deliberations.

Seeing the entire DOJ collapse like a house of cards because Comey decided to stand up for himself makes me yearn even more for these prestigious lawfirms, universities, and billion dollar corporations stand up for themselves and tell the admin to bring it.

Also in some ways Trump had already shutdown huge parts of the government. Grants not being issued, mass layoffs, services delayed or not rendered.

Laughing about how all the political knowers thought McCarthy was politically untouchable because he was some generational fundraiser. As if money doesn't just follow power.
