Am I the only mother whose kid never had to “come out” to her?
When the kids were younger, I would always use “girlfriend/boyfriend/or whoever” when speaking about hypothetical future Significant Others. At some point, each kid (they are 23, 20, and 14 now) would correct me and+

Today is a good day to remember that Christine Blasey Ford credibly claimed that Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her—accurately recalled who he was hanging out with, passed an FBI polygraph, and provided notes from her therapist about the assault—and Republicans didn’t care.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The claim that Blasey Ford was subjected to an FBI polygraph is false. The polygraph examination was run by a private operator.

So if the Pope says visitors to the Vatican have to be vaccinated, can his followers really claim faith-based exemptions? Serious question.

Speaking solely as a biologist, too many folks don't know the difference between a zygote, an embryo, a fetus, and a child. They are not the same in any biological sense.

Shout out to all the legislators going out on dinner dates with Exxon lobbyists so they can say a Green New Deal is too expensive 👍🏽
My public school did the pledge, plus 1 teacher told Bible Stories each morning. Plus the Gideons were allowed to pass out New Testaments. SC in the 70’s.

Mitch McConnell thinks he can stop the full truth from coming out. He cannot. The House can empower a bipartisan select congressional committee to investigate the insurrection. The select committee would also have stronger subpoena power because GOP Members can’t block subpoenas.
Do we know what Trump was doing at the time of the attack? Do we know who funded the insurrectionists and who communicated with them? There is plenty to learn, which is exactly why McConnell wants to shut it down.

The man screaming in terror as he cowers behind a security guard is GQP Rep. Andrew Clyde, the same guy who compared Trumps 6/1 Insurrection to a “normal tourist visit” to the Capitol. 🤔#Jan6Commission

An angry mob attacked our Capitol, our lawmakers, and our election.
They killed a policeman.
And Republican leaders would rather we all not know more about what happened.

It’s important to understand “the steal” is the 21st century version of “the lost cause”. A lie big enough & dangerous enough to fundamentally alter the next century. The “lost cause” ushered in a century of white nationalist domestic terrorism & attacks on democracy. Will this?
