I finally got what's bugged me about all these stories on the crippling of the US govt: all of them speak of "cuts" when, in fact, only Congress can 'cut' funding, and it has done nothing of the sort. The story describes illegal & unconstitutional impoundment, BUT SAYS NOT ONE WORD ABOUT IT

Utah Republican Senator John Curtis claps back at Elon and DOGE: "If I could say one thing to Elon Musk it's please put a dose of compassion in this. These are real lives. These are mortgages. It's a false narrative to say we have to cut and be cruel to do it." MORE republicans should stand up!

Jane Fonda on the SAG awards said “when you watch a documentary about Stonewall or Selma, have you asked yourself would you have been brave enough to stand up, to walk the bridge?” “This is your documentary moment because now is the time when we need to stand up.” It’s go time.

Nazi’s sent gay men to ‘the camps’ who were identified with a pink triangle. After the war, most were imprisoned because being gay was still a felony, some until 1994. The symbol later was that of liberation. Here my wife & I at Pink Triangle park in Castro, filled w/ pink quartz. More in comments.
