I think the US just has better reporting. You're kidding yourself if you think we're even in the top 10 worst places for women. We're definitely at or near the bottom of the western world, but Latin America, Middle East, Africa, and much of Asia is worse.
Supreme court is a completely broken institution, and if we don't collapse into fascism, it will be reformed one way or another soon enough.
Yep, conservative Christians will define when a life begins based on their theology, forcing their theology on the rest of us. It only just became official. If you don't like that, you should have voted. Disliking the system or your choices doesn't let you escape from blame when you cede what little control you do have under the system to the people that still use it.
We aren't the leader of the free world. Haven't been for a while now. It will take a lot of change on our part to reclaim that title. It's not too late to try though.
Lady Liberty will be a footnote in the history books, if that, if we don't reclaim our place as leader of the free world, so if you find that inspiring, then don't give up.
Yeah I haven't been following that GRA thing, but it sounds like just the sort of tone deaf, ill-considered, identity politics token gesture that neoliberals would try to pull so they can claim they're contributing to equality and progress without thinking about the ramifications.
The EPA is a joke now. It just seems wrong that it gets abused like this. Seriously, if they refuse to protect the environment, and thus refuse the agency's mission, why not just abolish it? That would be the honest thing to do. Republicans would support it. But they don't, because it at least acts as a vehicle to plunder public money from the American people for the corrupt jerks that get appointed there. And apparently conservatives are fine with public money being stolen by corrupt people so long as it makes "liberals" mad. They would seriously rather have a corrupt EPA than abolish it because it upsets people they don't like. It genuinely seems like conservatives view the EPA as an "own the libs" government program that they're happy to fund because who cares about small government when you can use the government to troll people?
