This was my parents until about 20 years ago. As left as they come. Not equal until all are equal. But also grew up on anti-gay propaganda that took forever to see past.

I was set to launch my book at the Carter Library next month. This week, we were told all events now need approval from the National Archives. The next day, my event was forced to relocate. A book about the working homeless. A book about civil rights. Apparently these topics are now off limits.

There is an old St. Malachi prophesy that implies he's the last pope. I'm not a believer in that stuff but I'm looking around and...ehh, maybe.

If it walks like a duck, Sieg Heils like a duck, takes every opportunity to promote and support well-known ducks all over the world, and fires every non-duck from military command then it's a fucking duck and anyone who doesn't say so clearly and repeatedly is just feeding them.

Mr. Hegseth has previously said that General Brown should be fired because of his “woke” focus on diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the military. Replaces a Black four-star fighter pilot with a white man who does not meet the statutory qualifications supposedly over DEI.
