I've come to realize that there is a group of people in America who are cool with, literally, ANYTHING being denigrated as long as they like the denigrator.

They can remove Harvey Milk's name from ships at taxpayer expense, but it will only serve to increase his impact long-term. And Pete Hegseth will fade into anonymity as an embarrassing blip on our history. Like a festering pimple that heals and vanishes. #milk #hegseth #harveymilk

Return to FDR-era policies. My dad called himself a "card-carrying Republican" in the 60s and was a huge advocate for Universal Health Care and government -subsidized housing. These are moderate positions in a healthy society. We've veered so far to the right it feels like a big left swing to them.
