Why should we pay attention to red states?
Everybody in this country just lost access to student loan forgiveness because of the state of Missouri.
You don’t need a coup when you can bribe red state AGs.

MAGA folks are boycotting Costco and we're just standing there like, YES. Please. Take your cart full of hate and go complain about free samples somewhere else. We'd like to shop in peace without hearing about your “freedom steaks,” thanks.

This is one way businesses can support the Constitutional rights & lives of people in America-by not making it easy for DHS (ICE, BP) to trample those rights and lives. I love this so much, I will go to this business & spend some money soon.

Brendan Gill is touting endorsements from “over fifty trailblazing women” to bolster his image with women voters. That’s not the same as reckoning with past and present harm.

before the trump admin, this would have been one of the biggest political scandals in history and alone would be solid grounds for impeachment and removal.
Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”
In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

The Supreme Court’s Ethics Code Is a Joke. Big Oil Knows That.
Oil companies want the Supreme Court to intervene to dismiss lawsuits about climate change. Amy Coney Barrett and Samuel Alito both have big conflicts of interest on that front.

Just to be clear: as Secretary for the local NAACP, Parks, a petite Black woman, drove by herself around Alabama and East Texas investigating rapes and lynchings and persuading victims/families to go to court + later volunteered to be the face of the Birmingham bus boycott. She wasn’t just tired.
