Now those skies are threatening.
They're beating plowshares into swords for this tired old man that we elected king.

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying.

Misogyny. An important read.
One movement has become “the single most important force uniting the American right, bringing together an unlikely constellation of pastors, posters, senators, preachers, influencers, podcasters, and fanboys,” Helen Lewis reports.

This Mother’s Day, let’s remember: Woman didn’t come from man’s rib. He came from *her* womb.
One of patriarchy’s biggest lies is naming the father as the life-giver.

Yesterday, Trump pointed at Rachel Scott of ABC News and said "she's a bitch" after Ms. Scott asked him about rising gas prices.
It will be old news by close of business today.
Once again: Trump is held to a different standard by legacy media.

Before I go to work, I have this to say to my fellow Americans. No matter how much the Republicans might gerrymander, it is your moral duty as a citizen to vote.
You have no excuse to not vote.
Vote. Them. Out.

This is exactly why language matters: “women were given the vote” frames equality as a gift from men, instead of hard won political power extracted through organized resistance.
Nobody gave women anything.
Women fought, marched, strategized, endured violence, went to prison and died for it.

What SCOTUS did to the Voting Rights Act and their rationale for their actions constitutes a vicious attack on Black citizens. It’s not right. It’s not okay. Such things should be stated clearly. This decision is wrong and harmful. It is a moral failing to ignore the reality of racism in the USA.

And by "exonerated", he means he was found liable for sexually assaulting & defaming E. Jean Carroll by a jury of his peers & ordered to pay her $88.3 Million.
