Love is love. No one should face discrimination because of who they are or whom they love.
Congress must pass and send me the Equality Act. It’s time we codified protections for the LGBTQI+ community.

❗️👀 “The next big advance in #cancer treatment could be a #vaccine.
Scientists say research reached a turning pt, w many predicting more vaccines will be out in 5 years.
These aren’t traditional vaccines that prevent disease, but shots to shrink tumors & stop cancer from coming back. Targets for these experimental treatments incl breast & lung cancer, with gains reported this year for deadly skin cancer melanoma & pancreatic cancer”

Via Kyle Cheney:
NOTABLE: decision effectively elim Eastman theory of pres electors, emph state legis bound by state constits re selecting electors.
BUT: Thomas does subscribe to theory (as Eastman, his former clerk, predicted he might) saying state legis can't be bound by state constit when comes to picking electors
That said: No state legis attempted to override results of 2020. So even under Thomas' interp, no controversy to resolve on J6=why Eastman/Trump pushed to "send back" to states

Listening to Lukashenka is a bit surreal. He is gloating about how he saved Putin. The power dynamic seems to be shifting. Lukashenka seems emboldened. Putin lost face with strongmen and likely his own elites.
