was recently told by a scholar of some note that it was out of bounds to compare trump's purge of black people from the federal government to wilson's efforts to resegregate the federal bureaucracy

I wonder if some of the Cardinals voted kind of like Canadians… Where #PopeLeoIV was sort of like an anti-Trump vote?

Habemus Papam. The only thing better than getting off the plane at O’Hare to hear that we have Pope names Leo is that said Pope Leo is a Chicagoan

I have been a feminist forever. I have a born-male child. I get what your saying, but I also felt like I spent my kiddos elementary school years trying to get him to β€œbehave” in ways that were, looking back, impossible

They can rant about woke science, but the truth is that people are interested in cures, discoveries, and breakthroughs. If American researchers are not doing it, the $$ and the treatments will move outside our borders.

FDA making plans to end its routine food safety inspections, sources say Food safety inspections would be left to state and local authorities under the plan being developed by the FDA.

"The plans have not been finalized and might need congressional action to fully fund, said the officials, who were not authorized to speak publicly."
Good luck with that.

The only thing standing between voters and voter suppression is the U.S. Senate. If 60 Senators vote for the SAVE Act, millions of voters will be disenfranchised and we're headed down the path of one-party-rule. We can't let that happen. Call your Senator or message now: bit.ly/4hZ7B…

This is good news. But reporters, please stop just repeating that this task force has anything to do with stopping antisemitism. It is about closing universities and about fomenting antisemitism.

This week, my Somerville constituent RΓΌmeysa Γ–ztΓΌrk was abducted in broad daylight by DHS officials and sent to Louisiana to be locked in a detention center. She has not been charged with any crime.

Prices are soaring, your 401k is in the tank, Social Security phone lines are hours long.

Instead of addressing any of that – this administration is picking a fight with Denmark.
