The way the politics of the ERA were changed by cultural conservatives like Schlafly over the course of the late 70s—from common sense, milquetoast approval to vehement controversy—are a useful mirror for what’s happening with LGBT rights now.

My hope for the Dominion-Fox lawsuit was that Faux would have been ordered to a) remove “News” from all their products and b) apologize on-air hourly for the lies that splintered families & fanned flames of Jan. 6 extremism

Love J.R. Moehringer captivating account of his life as a ghostwriter — and I loved “Spare” as well. Only quibble? Longing to know NYT editor’s “thunderbolt advice” about memoir.

Jon Stewart NAILS it! Did you know corporations SOCIALIZE their losses & PRIVATIZE its gains? Yes, corporations keep all profits for themselves while we the taxpayer pick up the tab for their losses. It’s WHY they’re so filthy rich & it’s been the “Corporate way” since Reagan.

My heart is broken💔: As friends & family know, my wife was pregnant with our 2nd child, & about to begin her 2nd trimester. A few days ago she had severe pains, & bleeding, and had to go to the emergency room. There, it was discovered that our baby no longer had a heartbeat.
