I’m an old dinosaur so I miss the days when Americans fought Nazis tooth and nail rather than putting them into the White House.

"It’s the latest crackdown on what the administration dubs a liberal media ecosystem and a further example of how the Trump White House is stamping its imprint on the culture."

I abhor ALL violence. No one deserves to be shot for their opinions, no matter how reprehensible.

I just wish we lived in a country where our elected GOP reps publicly mourned for murdered schoolchildren as passionately as they do for a person who devoted his life to division and vitriol.

The Alabama Public Library Service has issued a proposal that would force libraries to pull any “positive depictions” of transgender people from general shelves and relegate them to the adult section.

1. The HHS Appropriations Bill is out and it contains several devastating anti-trans provision.

It would bar federal funding for trans youth and adult care nationwide, which could be used to bar hospitals from providing it at all.

Will Democrats stand firm, or cave to avoid a shutdown?

"it’s time for people who look like me and many of you to take to the streets. Clearly, legislators aren’t listening to the trans community and their allies, but they still do care about what “good Christian white people” think.

The situation has deteriorated for transgender youth around the country, with many clinics shuttering and state AGs unwilling to enforce law. For adults, some states see higher risk.

Dan Rather gets it right again.

The real crimes in D.C. were on J6 .. & .. they were sanctioned by TFG, who lounged in his protective bunker
enjoying the J6 coup as it unfolded. No National Guard, No Marines... just Capital police getting beaten by TFG's minions.
