What Maine women who remember life before Roe are saying about Susan Collins

Converse said this week that it had taken down a sneaker advertisement that set off intense backlash as social media users said it was evocative of Ku Klux Klan imagery.
Converse Removes Ad That Drew Comparisons to K.K.K. Imagery
“This should not have happened and we will do better,” said Converse, which apologized for the ad. Critics said it depicted a Ku Klux Klan robe and a lynching.

96% of US diesel fuel is refined in the US.
Almost all of the remaining 4% came from Canada.
The US hasn't imported any oil or petroleum product from Russia since early 2022
Trump's attempt to blame high diesel prices on Ukraine defending itself isn't just ludicrous, it's sickening.

Trump picks the most ridiculous scapegoat for high diesel prices
It's not his war with Iran that's responsible, he claims: It's because Ukraine is being mean to Russia.

It won't be men, for the most part, who end up quitting their jobs to care for elderly relatives. Dobbs, the SAVE Act, anti-trans laws, and this -- all push women out of public life and back into a limited domestic sphere.
Absolutely everybody who knows anything about labor demographics saw this coming miles away. The last 18 months have been a steady stream of “nobody could have predicted” things every minimally knowledgable person loudly predicted.

This is so stupid. Canada is first to help its neighbors when fire or other disaster occurs.
"Sovereignty comes with responsibility" is mob boss talk.
"If Canada will not manage its forests to prevent these fires, the United States will look elsewhere, and act on our own, to protect our people,” said a group of U.S. lawmakers.
