I’m not sure I’ve ever said this about a Republican, but she is 100% right, there is no reason for this administration to afford this ruling any legitimacy whatsoever.  And I would go even further--even if the Supreme Court upheld this decision, I would say the administration should even ignore THAT.  That institution…

It’s not even shocking anymore sadly. And nothing will be done as usual. 

how much longer can we endure this

Someone named “Harlan Crow” definitely has ancestors who owned lots of slaves.

Harlan Crow? Oh come on. You can’t make a better villain name than that. The line between WWII historian and pure Hitler lover is often blurred. BUT anyone who displays his damn artwork is clearly an admirer. There’s no ambiguity there. Disgusting.

Just....wow.  The many layers to this story are shocking.  Have any of the white Republicans who voted to expel the two black men and keep the one white woman explained their votes yet?  I’d love to hear that justification.  I mean, racism.  JFC.  

And whitey is still on the moon.

They may not even be out of the legislature for long, as the cities they represent can appoint whoever they choose to fill those seats. Pearson and Jones should both be eligible for that. I can’t think of a better way to tell these racist fucks to eat shit than to put Pearson and Jones back in the seats they earned. 

All they have achieved is to turn this two impressive young men into national superstars who will be back in office in no time. If the Tennessee GOP thought they were being trolled by two Gen Z Reps, wait until they find out what it’s like to be trolled by two unemployed gen Z.

It’s truly harrowing. Jones and Pearson are truly powerful presences— and one democratic lawmaker spoke out in defense of Jones pointing that out. That Republicans are just scared of them and what they represent. I truly think the Republicans were just looking for any excuse to try to get rid of them, and jumped at…

It’s amazing seeing how quickly what semblance of democracy the US has, dying before our eyes at increasing speed.

Celebrities! They’re just like the passive-aggressive people you went to high school with and never left your hometown!

I’m an Iowan, an Iowa grad, and a white lady. I’m glad everyone in this story agreed Jill was wrong and I’m glad Angel said what she said. LSU deserves to have their time in the spotlight and shouldn’t have to share with a team they beat just because Jill wants to hand out participation prizes.

Aside from the obvious horribleness of all of this: Can we pause for a moment to consider the batshit insanity of that painting? Can we please? Because it is just peak arrogant rich man. And the result is hilarious. What is with the muscular Native American statue? All of these dudes knew they were going to be in a…

Yet ANOTHER reason why NO public office, especially one in which “we the people” don’t get to directly vote candidates into, should be a “lifetime appointment.” The ONLY method of “accountability” for seated SCOTUS Justices would be term limits. 20 years tops, then forced retirement.

Don’t expect him to go away anytime soon. The GOP in general are so anti-democratic process that they’re taking their cake, their ball and laying claim to any building they’re in. They really don’t care about public voter opinion, because they’re confident enough the voting prowess is effectively manipulated in their…

I mean, what did she think was going to happen? That Roe was going to fall and Republicans were just going to go, “Yay! We won! Nothing more to do here! Let’s all go home and be happy with that result.” The whole point of overturning Roe was so that they could enact these draconian laws, which have always been…

“That’s nice Ann, but, see sweetie: You’re a woman. And that means you’re a second class citizen in the conservative world. So, if we want to hear your opinion, we’ll come into the kitchen and ask for it. Okay sweetie? Okay.”

This is premised on the idea that Republicans still need popular support to win elections to remain in power.
