The U.S. media has apparently forgotten about Andry José Hernández Romero, the gay make-up artist who was seized in San Diego and sent to CECOT to die. U.K. media is doing a better job covering the story.

THANK YOU Congressman Robert Garcia for traveling to El Salvador and asking officials to check on gay makeup artist Andry José Hernández Romero, who has had no wellness check, nor any access to legal counsel. Is he even alive?

Easter traces back to pre-Christian spring festivals that celebrated renewal, fertility, and the return of light after winter. The hare was a symbol of fertility and became the Easter Bunny. Eggs long symbolized life and rebirth across many pagan cultures.

Viktor Orban, who is one of the inspirations for Donald Trump's MAGA movement, has ramped up the attack on the LGBTQ community. Most chilling is that his government is using FACIAL RECOGNITION technology to enforce the law, which has criminal implications.
