Graham is framing bombing Iran as religious liberation. His rhetoric is fuelled by his theology.

I am watching Jamal fade in front of me. His diabetes weakens his body, and asthma steals his breath. We urgently need $1000 for insulin and inhalers to keep him alive. I am begging youβ€”please don’t let him die because we couldn’t afford medicine. Help save Jamal.

In 1923, SCOTUS held that US taxpayers do not have standing to sue the government for their taxes being spent in an illegal or unconstitutional manner. SCOTUS said it would violate Separation of Powers if taxpayers could sue to control how taxes were spent.

That's been US law ever since.

911 calls capture kids burning with fever, struggling to breathe at ICE detention center EMS crews were called to the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas at least 11 times since September for children in medical distress, records show.

Trump’s private, for-profit detention centers are putting babies into medical distress.

Families are having to line up outside for hours in freezing temperatures or rain for each dose of medicine.

This is sick β€” no child should be treated this way.

Let's not mince words here. Forcing trans youth to join under their sex assigned at birth is a de facto ban, if not a de jure one.

Heroic Chicago trans comedian recalls saving infant from ice-cold Lake Michigan: β€˜I guess I’m going in’ β€œThe most important part of this entire story is that the baby is okay,” Lio Cundiff told The Advocate.

NEW BY ME: I spoke with Lio Cundiff, the 31-year-old transgender comedian in Chicago who saved a baby.

He’s a cool dude who’s down to earth and embarrassed by the attention.

I hope you, Tig Notaro, and River Butcher read this.
