My signing of the Respect for Marriage Act was the culmination of decades of sacrifice, advocacy, and struggle from generations of heroes who fought to live their truth, so that so many others could live theirs.
But challenges remain.
Now, Congress must pass the Equality Act.
@Barbramon1 Vietnam was supposed to have taught us a lesson. For Desert Storm under Bush Sr it seemed like we had learned it. Then Dubya came along and all was forgotten as IQs suddenly plummeted, a grandiose NeoCon scheme to turn a profit invading Iraq, based on fabricated intel, thank you Dick among others. Plus the long term occupation of Afghanistan, never mind the 9-11 hijackers were Saudis.

@Huntn00 I don't want us to be the world's police. My late brother was a Vietnam vet. We've seen how fighting the wrong wars, whether publicly or secretly, harms our country and others. I feel we should be prepared to defend allies as needed. I strongly believe that we can take care of ourselves and still defend other countries strategically. We have the money to do both, but apparently not the will. Evaluate the budget carefully and reallocate funds. There's enough for both.
@Barbramon1 As a veteran (USN) it's easy for me to say for about 30 years that the US can no longer afford to be the World's police. We are having difficulty just taking care of ourselves (plural).

US military budget on track to reach
one trillion dollars in a not so distant future. It comprises about 12% of federal spending yet faces very little scrutiny. It's sacrosanct. Has been for decades, although US spending dwarfs that of other nations.
It's overkill.
@jennycohn Apparantly she (Michael Farris) has a closet of custom Christian straight jackets, including bonus gags ready for distribution...🤔

If Kari Lake thinks 75 million people will rise up to prevent Trump's time of reckoning, she's even stupider than she's already shown.

Black & Latinos arrested 6-10X more than whites for decades for the exact same crimes
•MAGAs: Yay law & order!
Black & Latinos given 20% longer sentences than whites for decades for the exact same crimes
•MAGAs: Yay law & order!
Donald Trump indicted for knowingly stealing dozens of classified documents and sharing them with random people, while also claiming he’d prosecute anyone who failed to protect classified documents
•MAGAs: Double Standards!!🤬
MAGA hypocrisy isn’t a bug—it’s the point.

Regarding T****'s unlawful possession of classified intelligence documents
"At the very least, it is an unfortunate coincidence that the Central Intelligence Agency in October 2021 reported an unusually high rate of capture or death for foreign informants recruited to spy for the United States."

Sharing a worthy tweet from the hellsite:
When this is all over, I really hope Mar-A-Lago is seized in #Trump's stolen classified docs scheme, and after Melania is forced to move out, it's turned into a #PlannedParenthood facility providing abortions & medical care to #LGBTQ immigrants.

Initial reports indicated that the FBI was seeking documents related to nuclear programs. Trump denied it and his allies scoffed, suggesting it was fear-mongering.
It was not.

@skykiss Go get'm! The anti-democratic illegality of this sociopath has been a slap in the face or a kick in the backside for everyone except the Orange Koolaid drinkers to numb to feel the impact, but giddy they are going to rule the world.🙄
#PresidentObama Ah, the relatively good 'ole days. Found this while cleaning out my disaster area of an office from 2010. 😄 The Party that actually lowered medical costs for average folks while screams of anguish were heard in the background from the Others. 🤔

“They are highly toxic to pollinators, insects, birds, aquatic organisms that build the base of our food chain,” said Amy von Saun, an attorney with the Center for Food Safety (CFS), a co-plaintiff in the lawsuit. “Because the seeds represent so much neonicotinoid use, this is where all the devastation is coming from.”
Among the issues at the center of the lawsuit is the seeds’ minimal and unenforceable labeling. "
