The GOP is coming for marriage equality

This isn’t hypothetical. It’s real – and it’s personal. Friend, A decade ago when the Supreme Court finally recognized marriage equality as the law of the land, it affirmed the dignity of countless LGBTQ+ families across America. Now that very ruling is under threat. If the Court overturns marriage …

The Trump Administration destroyed 500 tons of food for starving children

To me, this exposes the soul of this Administration. Folks, here’s something you may not have heard about in the news, but is worth your time: Last month, the Trump Administration ordered 500 tons of emergency food – enough to feed 27,000 starving children for a month – to be incinerated.   U.S. tax…
