Hello; not on X; coming here to thank you for yr piece on the LGBTQbks case from MoCo. As a retired PreK-2 teacher who pays pretty good attention, I was surprised (& also dismayed) to learn a lot I didn’t know. I guess I’ll still go down on Tues, maybe w a sign that says “It’s complicated.”

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Ah--I see you're in Dublin. Remember, US media doesn't cover world news the way Europe does. Also, let's try not to sound like a jerk.🌞

If there is a god of any resemblance to "their" Christian god, that god is not going to help them. So there's that.
