In 1922, Florence Ellinwood Allen was elected justice of the Supreme Court of Ohio, the first woman elected to the highest court in any state. She had previously been the first woman assistant county prosecutor in the country and the first woman elected to a judicial office in Ohio.
It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

This is terrific reporting from Susan Milligan in our March cover package. newrepublic.com/article/1909... via @newrepublic.com
Beautiful red roses on a pink background with flowing script saying "Roses are red," Violets budding and blooming. "Violets are blue," Hydnora plants opening up looking like terrifying red mouths bursting from the hard sandy soil. "Hydnora are leafless, bizarrely fleshy, and incapable of producing chlorophyll," A splash of cute red and pink hearts. "And so are you. Happy Valentine's Day."
Botany valentine. Another from years past. New one on Monday!

My statement:
Exclusive: Sen. Tillis assured Pete Hegseth’s former sister-in-law her sworn statement could sway GOP senators to oppose his confirmation. Tillis cast the deciding yes vote.
Go Heels!
This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak.
Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds
