    2 weeks ago | nbcnews.com | Evan Brechtel

    May 21, 2025, 6:35 PM EDTLawmakers and activists gathered on the steps of the Supreme Court on Wednesday to commemorate the 100th birthday of the late LGBTQ rights pioneer Frank Kameny. The building was shrouded in scaffolding — a work in progress — and the words “EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW” were barely visible through a haze of mesh.

  • Opinion | The children's book that explains the Trump White House

    1 month ago | msnbc.com | Michael Steele |Evan Brechtel

    If you have kids or if you’ve been a kid yourself recently, you’ve probably heard of the famous children’s book “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.” It’s the cautionary tale about how ceding a trifle of something — such as a cookie — to a mouse will only lead to more demands and expectations, each harder to satisfy than the last.

    Nov 14, 2024 | msnbc.com | Alicia Menendez |Evan Brechtel

    Oct 31, 2024 | msnbc.com | Alicia Menendez |Evan Brechtel

feels like this actually cheapens the images by using them to gatekeep and still not elaborating on their importance in the thread so here's some info! "Unfinished Painting" by Keith Haring https://t.co/Pjf1LsqvFV SF Gay Men's chorus https://t.co/9YtwpgaE3x
