And another day of straight up racism, GOP desperation, and targeted ‘gay cure’ advertisements on Facebook comes to a close:

“You said never to grow old, but you forgot to tell me how. You said never to grow old, and then sank your teeth, into those final feet.” -- Cowboy Junkies

Fresh off his victory in the Florida Republican gubernatorial primary, Rep. Ron DeSantis said Wednesday that voters would "monkey this up" if they elected his African-American opponent, Andrew Gillum, to be governor. We must never tolerate racism—among each other, and certainly not in our elected officials. Ron DeSantis is a horrible person.

Andrew Gillum's Democratic primary victory sets up a race between a young, black progressive with an aspirational working-class message, and Republican Ron DeSantis, who has staked his political career on his ties to President Trump. Choose wisely Florida. You deserve better than what Ron DeSantis is offering. 


The Texas GOP tried to make Beto O’Rourke look like a drunk punk kid. It backfired.

A week before his confirmation hearing, the record on Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s possible involvement in some of the Bush administration’s most abusive policies and programs is woefully incomplete.

Poll: millennials prefer a Democratic Congress, but just over half plan to vote in the midterms. Millennials preferring Democrats to Republicans won’t matter if they don’t show up to the polls in November. Not voting for the Democrat is a vote for the Republican. Vote!

A toddler who came across the border with her mother seeking asylum died after receiving inadequate medical care in ICE custody, according to lawyers for the mother.

The teacher strikes spreading across Washington state have forced 7 school districts to miss their first day of school, and unless Seattle officials find a resolution soon, more than 53,000 students in the state's largest district could miss school indefinitely.

The New York Times just revealed Betsy DeVos’ plan to let colleges off the hook for sexual assault.

Facebook accused of targeting young LGBT users with 'gay cure' adverts.

Several Women Say Airlines Don't Do Enough To Protect Them From Men Who Masturbate On Flights.

Catholic cardinal calls on Pope Francis to step down over alleged sex abuse coverup.

New research suggests that one night of heavy drinking may continue to impair your brain function for a day or more.

The 20-hour flight is coming—and with it the possibility of a gym, bunks and child care in the air.

Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
