On this day in 1991 the world lost Freddie Mercury to #AIDS.
AIDS not only robbed us of friends and lovers, it also robbed us of all they could have/would have achieved had they lived.

Linda McMahon for Education is the most interesting pick yet. She has spent most of her life in opposition to puritanical attempts to get wrestling banned. Now she's going to be the puritans' champion?

If you’re saying Trump won thanks to old white men rejecting a black woman you are ignoring a growing mountain of evidence showing major swing to Trump among every non-white group. Old white men (and white college grads) are about the only groups who swung *away* from Trump.
