L.A. PUBLIC PRESS: Trump's radical cuts to HIV funding threatens to set us back 30 years in that battle.
HUFF POST: Jake Tapper is living in another world, bitching (for dollars) that Joe Biden — GASP — was secretly very old throughout his term as president, and wanting to litigate that now, when we have a blatantly demented, corrupt liar in office at the moment. The new book even claims Team Biden was considering a wheelchair for the President, but didn't wanna do that before the election. Uh, six months later, he's still walking and riding a bicycle.

... honor the legacy of Fem Queen artistry within Ballroom Culture with a very special showcase featuring the Ballroom Community, including live performances, live storytelling, and a celebration of Ballroom Culture as Queer history, Black history, and with roots in the Harlem Renaissance.
