On December 14, 2012, a mass shooter murdered 20 children, ages 6 and 7, and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. Four days later, evangelical author James Dobson claimed the mass shooting was God's retribution for abortion and gay marriage. He died today at 89.

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect. As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

White woman puts Mexican flag on her truck to waste ICE’s time.

I am as white as a hotel towel, and the closest thing to Mexican I am was a single all inclusive resort stay in Cancun. I put a Mexican flag sticker on my old Tacoma abd was promptly pulled over by ICE in San Antonio. I'm happy to waste their time

Their big question was like, "why the sticker" I told them it was on the truck when I bought it-and they suggested I remove it. Obnoxious creatures.

The catharsis theory in psychology proposes that expressing anger outwardly provides relief. However, according to hundreds of studies, venting anger or engaging in other arousal-increasing activities are ineffective and may worsen aggression.

To do health disparities research you MUST consider social factors. Despite statements suggesting that “health disparities are still acceptable to research” this definition of DEI contradicts that. Russ Vought said last week that an entire institute of the NIH is DEI (referring to NIMHD).
From NIMHD website: What are Health Disparities?
Health disparities are largely preventable health differences that adversely affect populations who experience greater challenges to optimal health and are closely linked with intergenerational social, economic, and/or environmental disadvantage.About NIMHD: NIMHD was first established as the National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities (Public Law 106-525), in 2000 and redesignated as an Institute in 2010, as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law. 111-148). The Institute's full history dates back to the creation of the Office of Minority Programs in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director in
1990. Then, in 1993 (Public Law 103-43), the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) established the Office of Research on Minority Health, which developed a research agenda for minority health at NIH.
