I spoke to old Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior KY Senator. He said, make sure we have Pier 59 at 8am tomorrow, that Jocelyn shows him a few of those satchels that Mark is doing in the pony, and to tell Simone he’ll take Jackie if Maggie isn't available, then asked if Demarchelier confirmed.

"Conversion therapy" doesn't work. It never has and never will. All it does is teach a young person to feel shame for who they are and that repression later manifests into unhealthy behavior. Today's Supreme Court ruling will result in a generation of shame and subsequent harm.

So far the war on Iran has cost $25 billion. That's $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. Thousands of lives lost. People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
