The London locker room I was in recently. Individual changing stalls for those who want them. Perhaps it's an alternative for the issues related to trans women who comprise less than .8% of trans adults?

Was in Berlin a few weeks ago and Feinberg's was a terrific restaurant.

Did the office of the president of the United States actually put this out? Second question: Do they have any idea how much this resembles a scene from a gay bathhouse in which Donald Trump is about to be passed around like a little bitch?

Add this to the pile of reasons to get rid of Susan Collins.

Remember when Democrats turned on Clinton for this innocuous comment? We had gold in our hands and treated it like trash.

Crazy times when I'm supportively posting comments from Marjorie Taylor Greene. That's how bad the GOP is. Even a former GOP grandstander, tranced MAGA nut can't stand them.

So Musk is saying that Starlink CAN be used for defensive activities… And that’s what Zelenskyy is saying didn’t work. It was an attack by Russia against Ukraine, that Ukraine was not notified of in time to protect against.

If you own a business and cannot say that you support the basic human and legal rights of LGBT people, I ain't eatin' your stinkin' chicken.

I am ashamed for my country at what Trump is doing. He is abandoning Ukraine and handing a democracy over to a brutal dictator. Congress, do your damn job!

“Superintelligence?“ Newspapers should not be caving to Trump’s stupidity.

I will never get over that an American president is screwing a democracy that was attacked by Russia and is bowing down to Putin. And I will never get over the fact that congressional Republican cowards are letting him do it.

The Trump version of DEI: Preference goes to pretty young blonde women who look similar to his daughter and who were on Fox News.

Now is not the time to demand perfection from our candidates. If Democrats take the Senate we can block Trump from appointing another Supreme Court justice. That's monumental.

With Trump's anti-LGBT policies and words, we are moving backwards. I'd love to say "never again" but it's still happening.
