Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett.
All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

It should be illegal to buy a company with debt and then sell it off to a foreign owner, but that fight was lost long ago. Anyway, now the Saudis own a truly distressing portion of American entertainment, from Hollywood to Video Games to Sports. This is not neutral behavior. Anyway.

This iconic 1971 photo of Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes has always said so much without saying a word.
Two women. Two raised fists. One shared fight for equality.
Dorothy passed in 2022. Now Gloria is gone too.
Two giants who helped change America.
Rest in power, Gloria. ✊🏼✊🏾

Can anyone tell me why X still seems to be the default? Why is anyone, especially officials in any capacity, still there? You understand what you're supporting when you support Elon, right? So think. Then act accordingly.

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

A shithole nation isn’t a poor country that can’t feed its children. It’s a rich country that refuses to do so.
