Demuth and Tafoya would make history, but race and gender aren’t their pitch
The Republican nominees for governor and Senate describe racism and sexism as formative experiences but reject the idea that race or gender should determine voters’ choices.

From the Magna Carta to the Constitution to the Emancipation Proclamation to 19th Amendment, voting rights (what you might call "Big P" Politics) were always downstream of protests, riots, petitions, mass movements, strikes and good, old fashioned community organizing (that is, "small p" politics).

It is journalistic malpractice that major news outlets are not producing 5-alarm-fire reports to warn the public that the president of the United States is out of his mind.

We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.
