Here's your reminder that Putin, besides being a serial murderer & war criminal, literally stole & pocketed Robert Kraft's first Super Bowl ring right in front of him... & the Feds told Kraft to let him keep it.

See that #SuperBowl#footwashing ad? Did it make you mad? As a #gay man, #transgender ally, and #LGBTQ advocate, I sure don't like the sponsor! But I'm just getting over a painful illness, and I'm "Thinking about Washing Feet in God's Country."
