And the United States has the highest maternal mortality rate of any industrialized country, and the conservative branch is fighting with everything they have against any measure designed to prevent maternal mortality … and it’s so weird you’ll never guess it, but the people who are most affected are Black people, and poor people, and other marginalized people, and it occurs to me that you’d only fight to ensure maternal mortality if you’d decided that they aren’t people. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/28/health/pregnancy-childbirth-deaths.html

By the way, Republicans are peeling back child labor laws for migrant children entering the country without parents, and they’re entering the country without parents because the border policy that Republicans insist upon makes orphaned children as likely as possible, and all this will allow these unattached children to work long hours in unsafe environments, which strikes me as something you’d only do if you believed that you were a person and those children were not.

Just to recap, Clarence Thomas let a GOP megadonor take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house and let her live there rent free, pay for his grandnephew to attend a private boarding school — all in secret until now.

How is he still on the Supreme Court?

The supremacist creed: There are people who do not matter, and it is their own fault. They have not earned life, and so any basic need they receive is either gift or theft. It is good if they die, and better if they suffer—but while they suffer, it is best if they can be used.

@ManiacalV Right! "Tennessee GOP expels only the Black members of the 'Tennessee Three' in a bid to clinch the racist vote."

Excuse me, shitty newspaper editors, but it should read "Tennessee Republicans expel two BLACK Democrats from House over gun control protest"

Maybe even add "but not the white one."

Donald Trump could've picked any location and any date for his first 2024 rally. He picked Waco,Texas in the midst of the 30th anniversary of the FBI's siege of Waco for a reason. He's recruiting followers who will commit violence for him. My new MSNBC https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/trump-waco-rally-reveals-danger-death-destruction-posts-rcna76394

Republican lawmakers in Kentucky passed a measure to ban gender-affirming care for trans children

Kentucky ranked as one of the worst places to live in the United States:

44th and healthcare
48th in fiscal stability
Consistently in the bottom 10 for education

Number 2 in the nation for domestic violence

But your problem is trans children? Republicans are nothing but evil.

What did Norfolk Southern do with all the money it saved from cutting its workforce, running longer trains, refusing sick leave, and scrimping on safety?

Over the past two decades, it has boosted shareholder payouts by 4,500 percent.

Corporate greed, folks.
