Your children are much safer in the company of drag queens than: 1. Pastors or priests; 2. Republican men; 3. Billionares; and 3. Frat boys.

Lao-tzu speaking to us thru translator Stephen Mitchell (1988) in the fifth or sixth century B.C.E. #wisdom #hope #criticism

A beautiful red font and paired red and black line at the top centers "17"

Below is the text from Stephen Mitchell's 1988 translation of the Tao te Ching for Harper Collins
"When the Master governs, the people
are hardly aware that he exists.
Next best is a leader who is loved.
Next, one who is feared. The worst is one who is despised.

If you don't trust the people,
you make them untrustworthy.

The Master doesn't talk, he acts.
When his work is done,
the people say, "Amazing:
we did it, all by ourselves!" "

Texas has suspended over 1.2 million voter registrations. Many valid voters in Texas have found their voter registrations were somehow canceled when they checked. Check your registration here and fix it immediately - Texas doesn't always honor provisional ballots cast on election day.

BREAKING: Canadian municipalities across the country have unanimously agreed to rename their waste treatment ponds after the U.S. President. Officials say the decision follows Donald Trump’s recent efforts to rename Lake Ontario. Canada will now have over 1,300 Donald Trump Sewage Lagoons.

I'm more convinced than ever that #USMNT should have sat Balogun and said "No!" to the corruption. The team would have rallied in a much different way. As a commenter on NYTAthletic said, "Now they've gone and squandered the corruption."
