A ProPublica analysis revealed a stark pattern across the Deep South, where about 200 majority-Black public school districts educate 1.3 million students. Alongside those districts are private academies filled almost entirely with white students.

Something to remember for #ausvotes. There's no Liberal Party or National Party in Queensland. There's only the Liberal National Party for all 3 levels of government. The LNP is the banner they campaign on here.

BREAKING: A woman in Georgia just got ARRESTED for having a miscarriage. Charged with “concealing a dead body” because she didn’t call the cops fast enough. This is what happens when you let forced-birth extremists make the laws.

Nearly every Republican in the Senate voted to overturn a Biden Admin rule that limited bank overdraft fees to $5.

This rule, initially established by the now gutted CFPB, was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually.

The GOP is the party of junk fees.

Neo fascists dismantling the USA are the same weak, scared nerd boys as ever - afraid women prefer black men, accepting asian men as lesser threats. It’s all about them and their “superior” reproductive fitness. Crazy to understand this grows in some men who feel ignored by women or unable to breed.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Elon Musk's PACs have spent over $13M backing Trump loyalist Brad Schimel in Wisconsin's Supreme Court race. 

If Schimel wins, the court could uphold a total abortion ban, attacks on unions, and gerrymandered maps — and change state law to benefit Tesla. 

Follow the money.
