Pride was born as a riot, and has always been an act of defiance. During my life, I survived an internment camp. I came out at 68. I've watched rights get won and now watch them being rolled back. Yet I'm still here, still proud, and still holding Brad's hand.

Ron Johnson isn’t the Johnson who believes humans rode dinosaurs to work - that’s Mike Johnson. Ron Johnson is the one who celebrated July 4th in Moscow. If you’re still struggling to keep your Johnsons straight, Lauren Boebert will be happy to lend a hand.

Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

I'm going on record. You don't cover up dead. He's not dead. However, he's sick as shit. That you can cover up for a bit. But just a bit. Mostly I hope he feels like absolute shit and is very scared of death. That I can work with.

Religion is the opium of the people. It comforts the poor but keeps them asleep, making their chains feel lighter so they never break them. It teaches them to wait for heaven instead of changing earth. To serve the powerful instead of challenging them, until the injustice becomes eternal. -Karl Marx
