Thankful this week for those many queer people who came before me, people whose voices — quiet, loud, loving, angry — have taught me so much about how to live my values in this era.

Are straight women ok
The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.
But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.

The inexplicable sex appeal of RFK Jr.
How can such ferocious desire be attached to this man? Two memoirs by the women who love him offer some clues.

Ontario feels seen.
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

Yep- Trump just called Gov Pritzker "a big, fat slob" during the traditional White House Turkey pardoning. And then went on to say he never calls people names.
Not only that, uses this occasion to bloviate about his administration's accomplishments.

North America at risk of becoming an island of fossil fuels in an electrifying world. Canada should take note and choose a better path.
