The Taliban have enacted laws that violate human rights since they returned to power. But a new edict goes further.

the biggest threat to free speech in this country is that everyone knows speaking out loudly against the right wing messaging machine, and getting its attention, will result in endless death threats and harassment and they don’t care if you’re one of their own

When people say the South gets what it deserves for voting Republican, remind them that: 1) 45% of Southerners voted for Biden. Trump only won 53% there 2) Half of America’s Black population lives in the South 3) The region has widespread gerrymandering & restrictive voting laws

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
