I guess the hundreds of millions Republicans are getting from billionaires for ads in the midterms aren’t enough so they are just going to steal taxpayer dollars to run more of them.

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

Ok my trivial insight here. The Spanish Steps are steeper than the movies make them look.
People congregate in the shade up a steep set of steps.  At the top is a church and an obelisk.
