Cards Against Humanity is donating 100% of their profits to the National Network of Abortion Funds if the order comes from a state restricting abortion access.

If someone selects “I didn’t agree to this” an additional $5 donation is added to their cart. 😂

What would it take for the NRA to lose its tax-exempt status?

• Actively promoting illegal activity.
• If gun companies were found to be running the NRA as a shadow lobbying group.
• Too much political activity (participating in political campaigns). https://t.co/RzZ0rnTHXb

If you don’t know a handful of women who’ve had an abortion, you’re not morally righteous or statistically anomalous; you’re just not the kind of person women trust with their secrets.

One of the fun wrinkles in abolishing Disney World's Reedy Creek is that local governments would have to provide those services using general property taxes instead.

But their ability to adequately tax Disney is limited...thanks to a tax break passed by the Florida Legislature.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: Florida lawmakers voted to revoke Disney World’s special tax status, a step seen as retaliation for Disney’s criticism of the “Don’t Say Gay” law. The move revokes a privilege that effectively allowed Disney to self-govern its theme park. https://t.co/bQ4LsCYquA
