A new Colorado law includes requirements that dozens of cities provide multilingual ballots during local elections, bridging a major gap in access for voting in those races.

Remember: it was never about legal immigration. It was always about cruelty.

As a bookstore that sells pamphlets and magazines, the criminalization of such materials feels pretty close to home. So let's take a closer look at the materials the federal government is claiming tie readers to "antifa terrorism." We can pick out six titles in these grainy photos. 1/

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Republicans were really hoping to win control of Pennsylvania's state supreme court before the next presidential election.
But Democrats swept 3 seats today.
It's now very unlikely the GOP can win an outright majority on the court before at least 2029:
