Lutheran Social Services was the only adoption agency in the greater Chicagoland area that would work with gay couples when we adopted our kid in 1995. It’s no wonder they are under attack. They do good work. And that’s not what this administration is about.

Nothing has changed. This has always been America; a society ruled by the fragile ego’s of straight white men.

Why Elon Will Be Trump’s Undoing And a request to the DOGE Bros: Please read a f***ing book.

"We are seeing purges and secrecy and firings and, yes, law-breaking by a bunch of arrogant young Muskovites, acting at the direction of their Alternative für Deutschland–supporting unelected and unaccountable boss. His presence is a vulnerability to be exploited." www.thebulwark.com/p/why-elon-w...
