The ERA has been ratified by 38 states and met all criteria to become part of the Constitution. But it remains in procedural limbo, awaiting publication. President Biden could take final action on the ERA and secure gender equality in the Constitution. www.sacbee.com/opinion/arti...

Trump's Cabinet appointments are shocking, but part of a plan. We should be wary of shock, which excuses inaction. We have to get through the surprise and the shock to see the design and the risk.

Important to remember!
Just a reminder for everyone new to the platform, the only thing that matters here is user engagement, so when you come across a troll or a bot, the WORST thing you can do is argue. Just use the robust block feature or ignore them altogether, and eventually the void will swallow them
