If polyamorous people can figure out how, where, and with who to spend holidays when having 3 partners, I promise you and your parents and your in-laws can work it out.

Sex and romance are not at odds.
Neither are promiscuity and commitment.
Nor autonomy and interdependence.
You are big enough to hold it all.

It's difficult to estimate just how much pain this man caused, both directly and through others he infected with his hateful perversion of faith and spirituality.
“We outlived James Dobson” is little comfort to me as I have a number of dear friends who didn’t outlive him.
He’s not the only reason they’re gone, but he made this world a place where it was that much harder for them to survive.
May we see the end of fundamentalism speedily & in our days.

Additionally no other country on earth has the policing capability of the U.S. And those of us who have spent our adult lives warning about what this would mean, can only say that people should have moved decades ago to shrink law enforcement and in some of our estimation to abolish it.

Ben Rhodes said something on All In last night that I've been saying for years. The reason US fascism is qualitatively different than in other countries is that the U.S. has every possible weapon AND mass surveillance ALREADY. No other country on earth can surveil its population like this one.+
I suspect the John Bolton thing is less likely a show trial than a show investigation. The powers of the FBI/DOJ/prosecutors provide the ability to systematically persecute people for years, ruining their lives and costing them enormous amounts of money in legal fees with little recourse.

Finally, I said years ago, and folks who have followed me for a long time know this is true, that defunding the police was a moderate demand that is actually the basement in terms of what's needed. I said that liberals will be deeply sorry that they turned that demand into some kind of bogeyman.

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect.
As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

After I came out, there was a period where my dad and I were really struggling to talk about it. A few months in, he told he’d bought a book to try to understand better.
I looked and saw it was endorsed by Focus On The Family.
I told him it wasn’t to going to be helpful and to throw it away…

Two things can be true:
- I want to believe no one is irredeemable
- James Dobson made the world a worse place and we are better off without him
May those of us still here work to undo all the harm he wrought upon us.

Do you love HIM or do you love what he does for you? How he makes you feel? How others perceive you? There’s a big distinction there.
