"Bill Kristol quotes George Washington's condemnation of 18th century antisemitism to defend transgender people from scapegoating following the assassination of Charlie Kirk" is an actual sentence

GIG. THEM.

DNA Tape Me Please

My city’s LGBTQ+ center may have to shut down after it lost federal funding.

Published my first Substack post, which hopefully won't my last. Free for now, until I figure this stuff out. 2500-or-so words about two presidents, national nightmares, unemployment and welfare lines, inflation and gas shortages, power ballads and quiet storms, and my 150 favorite albums of 1975.
