I recall an argument I had over on X with a log cabin republican who said he wasn't worried about Trump because he and his husband were white, upper middle class. They didn't care about women's rights because they weren't women and didn't plan on having children. I was gobsmacked.
LGBTQ activists: They're definitely going after Obergefell.
Many pundits and reporters: Stop being melodramatic with these exaggerated claims.
Them: We're definitely going after Obergefell.

Them: We're definitely going after Obergefell.
What they fail to comprehend is that the hatred being sown does not confine itself to matters of gender or even race. Such animosity knows no bounds, as is tragically evident in the horrors Russia has wrought upon towns where even their own kin once dwelled in Ukraine—a grim lesson we ought to heed.

BREAKING: In an unprecedented move, more than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of the Department of Health and Human Services.
It's the first time in history that Nobel laureates have come together to oppose a Cabinet choice.

We have to remember who we are, and what WE stand for.
We have to cling to our decency.
Because it’s under attack.
As long as we hold on to that and never let it go, we will continue to be the bulwark against their worst intentions.
So, that is my plea.
That is my ask.
Thank you.

Super great how the media didn’t do these stories before the election. It’s almost as if they wanted to cash in on the carnage afterwards.

Donald Trump attempted a coup on January 6th
Using phony claims of fraud
Fake electors
And culminating in the assault on the Capitol-which injured 140 cops
The notion of pardoning insurrectionists
And prosecuting members of Congress-because they exposed his misdeeds
