The Supreme Court is not going to even pretend to be a legitimate court. So discriminating against Black and Hispanic Americans is allowed here now.
The Supreme Court, in a Thursday evening order, put on hold a lower court ruling that blocked Texas’ aggressive gerrymander, a maneuver the state legislature carried out on orders from the Trump administration and the president himself, hoping to preserve Republicans’ majority in the House in 2026.

At one point or another, we're all going to need to see a doctor.
But our health care system remains unaffordable, inaccessible, and deeply dysfunctional. It is unacceptable.
That’s why a strong majority of Americans agree: We need Medicare for All.

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed.
Is it any wonder so many feel abandoned by the system?
People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void. This is why we must fix the system.

It would be even cuter if farmers didn't forcibly impregnate them, mutilate them without anesthesia, breed them for unnaturally high milk yields, separate mothers from their newborns, and send “unproductive” animals to the slaughterhouse after a fraction of their natural lifespan.
