Someone shared an article about bill HR 7661 with us and asked what we thought of it. The short answer? The story is not being covered properly. It's being seen as a joke, when in reality, it's a trojan horse meant to sneak in a lot of other things. www.thepinknews.com/2026/03/20/h...

Yeah the Republican Party has been somewhere between very and extremely racist since at least 1964 but nonetheless the Voting Rights Act was reauthorized by a Republican-held Congress 390-33 in the House and 98-0 in the Senate in 2006. As just a single, solitary example that's been on my mind lately

From what I understand Hantavirus is not very communicable and the risk is mostly where people are in overcrowded, poorly maintained, unsanitary surroundings like America’s VA facilities, prisons, detention centers, and schools.

Your regular reminder that when David Duke ran for statewide office in the early 1990s, the MAJORITY of white Louisiana voters pulled the lever for him. This was AFTER they’d seen the pictures of Duke in a Klan outfit and a Nazi uniform.

Just a reminder that, in April 2023, Justice Alito *also* issued administrative stays of Judge Kacsmaryk's ruling purporting to take mifepristone off the shelves on a nationwide basis, and then dissented when the full Court stayed that ruling indefinitely. Don't read too much into what he did today.

There's an entire Russian-language book dedicated to Heroes of the Soviet Union having been executed for this or that fabrication. It's stomach turning to see a nation not just turn its back on those who are called upon to fight for it, but to use them as a scapegoat is beyond the pale.
