Did you know? In 1861, 11 Senators and 3 Representatives were expelled from Congress for failing to recognize Lincoln’s election and supporting insurrection. — We can still do that.
UNBELIEVABLE! The membership list of the white supremacist Oath Keepers just leaks — and it includes over 80 Republican politicians, 370 police officers and sheriffs, and over 100 active-duty members of the U.S. military. They must ALL be fired or impeached from duty IMMEDIATELY!
The fact that nearly 70% of divorces in this country are initiated by women should tell you all you need to know about the joy and fulfillment you will supposedly find as some dude’s live-in maid.
Dear Texas:
My Jewish grandmother survived the Holocaust but the rest of her family didn’t. She told me that the Nazis gained power by banning books that challenged their ideology and promotion of propaganda. I find it chilling that you choose to ban a Diary of the holocaust.

it's not about maturity to raise a child. it's about funneling Black, brown, and low income children in to Christian adoptions.
They don't expect a child to raise a child. They expect her to give birth to the state's interest.
It cannot be repeated enough: this extremist SCOTUS majority was created by presidents who lost the popular mandate (one of whom won the presidency in part through the activism of the SCOTUS right wing in Bush v Gore, another who got to appoint an Obama vacancy).
It's easy for people to insist what Russia is doing in Ukraine is not a genocide. Because then they might have to do something about. Instead, they deny genocide, deny a no-fly zone, deny planes. Let's be clear on what's happening: the world watches another genocide.
We fell for it. We said it was "just ads" that "don't work anyhow". And "a bot didn't tell me to vote". Facebook is still an open threat surface. Exploited by authoritarians from Philippines to India to Brazil to Hungary. It's maybe not a world war. But the world is at war.

1 of 53 Republican senators voted against withholding military aid to Ukraine in exchange for anti-Biden propaganda: @MittRomney. He deserves praise for bucking his party, and standing up for democracy over authoritarianism.
