This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking.
No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated.
Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian."
THIS is why Pride is important.

This is a warning that I fear many will look back on in five or six years and think “he was so right”.

47’s insolence and contempt for the American people (particularly his own voters) will never NOT shock me.
need someone to start printing up stickers of trump as the grinch who stole christmas
Trump: "When you say strollers are going up -- what kind of a thing? I'm saying that gasoline is going down. Gasoline is thousands of times more important than a stroller someplace ... you don't need to have 35 dolls. You can have 2, 3, 4, and save a lot of money. We don't need to feed the beast."

We hadn’t won World War II by May 8th. I know because my family and I were still in an internment camp in Tule Lake, California.

Kamala Harris: So look, some people are describing what's been happening in recent months as absolute chaos. And of course I understand why. And it's certainly true of those tariffs. Tariffs that, as I predicted, are clearly inviting a recession.

I’m going to continue reminding folks that this is the kind of thing that warrants impeachment. (Not for nothing but Republicans impeached Mayorkas for just existing)
Q: “Have you been in touch with El Salvador about returning Abrego Garcia? Has a formal request from this administration been made?”
Rubio: “I would never tell you that. And you know who else I'd never tell? A judge.”
