“The EU’s highest court has found Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ+ law to be discriminatory, stigmatising and in breach of basic democratic values…”
This is a crucial decision. The court rejected the political claim that LGBTQ+ representation is “propaganda.” We must keep fighting politics that dehumanise us.

BREAKING: Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has resigned.
an image of US actor Joan Blondell (1906-1979) in the 1933 movie Footlight Parade she is a white woman in her twenties with short hair styled in elaborate curls, wearing a black dress with a white lace collar and bow her expression is quizzical and annoyed, as if to say “are you fucking kidding me with this shit?”

This is incredibly frustrating. We have been paying the tariffs passed along to the consumers for over a year. But the companies that paid the tariffs at the clearing house will reap the return of tariffs as profit.
Just do not believe the companies are going to pass that $$ back to us.
John Roberts' wife is not the only Supreme Court spouse to shake down people with business before the court to give bribes. Ginni Thomas has a "consulting firm" (AKA a PO Box for checks) to funnel money to Clarence. #Corruption
If a 600-ton excavator can be converted from diesel to electric, pretty much anything can.

Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"

Black women remain about three times more likely than white and Hispanic women to die from pregnancy related complications, according to CDC data.
Studying that disparity is not “DEI,” and it is not “divisive.”

“Somebody shorted the oil markets today by hundreds of millions of dollars exactly 20 minutes before Trump made his announcement that everything was going to be great. And if you see that once, it could be a coincidence. But that’s happened at least 3x… a pattern.”
