I'm betting there are a growing number of Russian citizens that are thinking Russia made a mistake by invading Ukraine.

I wonder how the American is handling this news.

A new Texas law backed by Republicans, business lobbying interests, & Gov. Greg Abbott strips power from local officials on regulating things like housing, worker protections, the environment, public health, and more. In other words, Texas Republicans are stopping cities from being able to govern themselves.

Historians are learning more about how the Nazis targeted trans people

https://theconversation.com/historians-are-learning-more-about-how-the-nazis-targeted-trans-people-205622

The Weimar Republic, the more tolerant democratic government that existed before Hitler, recognized the rights of trans people, though in a begrudging, limited way. The rise of Nazi Germany destroyed this relatively open environment.

And just like that, extreme conservatives and the members of the 's hard-right "House Freedom Caucus" demand the month of June be boycotted by all god-fearing .

Does it seem weird that many of the men in the GOP said "Amen" is much better than "a woman."

Just a reminder that 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?

Of course not because work requirements already exist.

But how about work requirements for corporate tax breaks? Work requirements for investors before getting carried interest breaks? And by work, I mean real work: not scheming on how to cut healthcare.

But Republicans would rather let the entire country collapse before raising taxes on billionaires.

The war on trans people continues

Indiana just signed their version of “don’t say gay” into law

Indiana ranks 43rd in the nation in education
42nd in the nation for mental health
0 help for opioid addiction

So, what is Indiana’s priority?

To forcibly out transgender students and block all other mention of LGBTQ issues

H.B. 1608 requires school officials to provide written notification to a child’s parent within 5 days of the child asking to be called a different “pronoun, title, or word”
