Even twenty years of gay marriage (thanks for that, I guess?) hasn't made gays "culturally normal."
We need to break the hold that the right has on "normal." Not meet them where they are, not meet them halfway.
It's normal to be a bit different. We all are.

Brett Kavanaugh sees no problem with this woman being forced to do this every day for the rest of her life
“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”
The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.
It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.

Be disgusted. Then remember the Republicans like Tom Cotton who said they saw nothing of concern in the video. They were telling the truth. Murder doesn’t bother them. War crimes don’t bother them.

My first thought nowadays when I see an Axios headline about Democratic leaders is "I wonder how they've distorted something he's said."
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Meanwhile, here's an example of the horrendous things found in Hillary Clinton's emails—the only story worth covering for any serious news outlet in 2016, apparently.
This email is also regarding a child who suffered abuse from a grown man.

been doing some light reading about the aftermath of the korean dictatorship and I think it's really important that we repeat this to ourselves, to our friends, to our neighbors, to our politicians
Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Without a doubt, this calls for an independent international investigation. I certainly do not trust the Trump administration, and I do not know enough about Colombia’s public media apparatus to trust them either.
