Men didn’t “provide” for women all these years. They restricted our ability to provide for ourselves. When women were denied education, careers, property ownership, credit, and financial independence, dependence wasn’t a choice. It was the system.

Federal immigration goons use their vehicles to confront a crowd of demonstrators protesting ICE in Tacoma, in what eyewitnesses say was an attempt by the suspected Feds to intimidate them. You can see the crowd stand their ground, and the goons drive off.

Supreme Court expansion is ‘a concerted effort to intimidate the court,' Justice Alito says
Despite Americans' eroding trust in the Supreme Court, Alito says he's not discussed growing calls for expanding the court and setting term limits.

If Trump just takes money appropriated by Congress for a specific purpose & seizes it to use it for an entirely different purpose, what is the point of having a Congress or appropriating money for anything? I’m sure the Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins must be concerned.

At a time in history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction — fawning over the most dangerous authoritarian America has ever witnessed. Do not forget this.

Calling alleged rape “bad decisions” isn’t a defense of due process. It’s victim-blaming dressed up as an op-ed. If anyone thinks the Cornell 7 are experiencing an unfair rush to judgment, imagine if they were Black men. There would be another Trump-style Central Park Five ad. Or worse.

How many 50-year-old roofers there are? Zero. One reason unions fight for high wages is because careers are SHORT.

Funny. I cannot recall any "diplomat" seeing their net worth rise by roughly 📈 $100 million to $200 million since taking the position. Yet Jared Kushner has. So, spare me any BS about his job description. It has nothing to do with diplomacy.
