Maj Anthony Guerrero was my classmate at Temple. I have seen so many acts of kindness and generosity from him over the years. I am so proud to call him my friend.
“I may not be the sort of person you would expect to oppose a ban on transgender troops. I am a conservative evangelical Christian and a Republican,” writes Anthony Guerrero, an active duty officer in the U.S. Army. “But my views are irrelevant to the issue of transgender troops.”

I am thrilled to have voted for Kamala Harris. I’m joyful and hopeful that this is going to go our way (and, of course, nervous that it won’t). If Trump shares anything in common with Grover Cleveland, I hope it’s that he will be completely forgotten.

there is no world in which biden drops out and the nominee isn’t kamala harris. and i think it is very interesting that the loudest calls for biden to drop out do not acknowledge this fact.

First time I can recall seeing this framework applied to Biden (or any Democrat, really). @larryglickman.bsky.social what’s the significance of this (if it’s significant at all)?

I stayed up too late searching online finding aids for a source and making a list of archives I’ll need to call to try to find out if it actually exists. Then before going to bed, I just googled it for shits and giggles (as my mother would say) and BANG! not only found it, but it’s digitized!

Productive days in the archives! Today I found this beauty showing homes on the corner of 4th and Chestnut in 1799. 3 dwellings, 1 shared privy, 1 privy door, 2 privy seats, no division between them. Think how much of a pain in the ass it is to share a *driveway* with a neighbor!
