Notably: Sara Cunningham is the founder of an organization called Free Mom Hugs, established in 2014. “I’m a Christian mom with a gay kid living in Oklahoma saying enough is enough,” she says on the organization’s website. “If I don’t fight for my son (and his rights) like my hair is on fire, then who will? It’s time we celebrate our LGBTQ+ children. And I won’t stop until I no longer hear horror stories from the LGBTQ+ community and their mothers.” The organization’s name may sound like a reaction to that other, opposite-minded organization that rhymes with “moms for bigotry,” but Cunningham’s was established well before the barbarians stormed the gates. On April 7 Laura Campbell posted on Facebook: “Hello all, I’m a a loud proud Ally of the LGBTQ+ community, a mom of 2 adult LGBTQ kids and a State Chapter Leader with Free Mom Hugs- Florida. Pride events are taking place all over Florida and we need additional volunteers. If you’re interested in providing love and support to the LGBTQ+ community at this VERY important time. Please consider joining us.” Speaking of which: it’s Pride Prom this Saturday in DeLand, at the Chisholm Center. For 18 and under only. For more on that, go here.

[J. Edgar] Hoover opened a secret intelligence file at the end of 1945. He took unique copies of the reports his lieutenants sent him, and he wrote his thoughts in the margins, bearing down with a fountain pen, bringing forth scrawls of royal blue ink. The imprimatur of his initial–H.-made his words into commands.
Reading his handwritten notes is like hearing him think out loud. His rage was personal and political, bitter and implacable, barking and biting. He had high-soaring ideas, and he had hissing fits. His sense of humor was sarcastic, sometimes petulant. His knowledge was enormous, though his mind was narrow. These files went on for twenty-seven years. They are, in effect, Hoover’s diary; they constitute his secret history of the Cold War. They reveal above all his abiding fear that America could lose the war on communism.

–From Tim Weiner’s Enemies: A History of the FBI (2012).

    The contrast between the debauched profligacy of these phony baloney jet set shitheads and the struggle for survival of the great majority of the people they dupe is grotesque. With no prospect for improvement.
