Keira Knightley said that before joining the voice cast of Audible's "Harry Potter: The Full Cast Audio

of all things "Harry Potter" over J.K. Rowling's statements about the transgender community:

Nixon Prolonged Vietnam War for Political Gain—And Johnson Knew About It, Newly Unclassified Tapes Suggest

Nixon ran on a platform that opposed the Vietnam war, but to win the election, he needed the war to continue

The Republicans have a perfect health plan.

It's called IOU or Oh, Momma! Shares.

It will wring every cent out of your account,

give no healthcare at all (but plenty of money to investors)

and abandon you to a painful death.

Join today and it will steal your first-born, too!

On Indigenous People's Day, remember that every national park was a place that was taken away from native people in the belief they couldn't manage it well enough.

This about people who handled the land well for thousands of years from people who mismanaged it for hundreds.
