A majority of white voters voted for Trump. The Hands Off protests were largely white. True statements, but I'm seeing the bizarre non sequitur floating around that together they mean the protests consisted primarily of white Trump voters with buyer's remorse because of Trump's economic impact.

Republicans in West Virginia passed a bill that would allow health care providers to “visually or physically examine a minor child” for the purpose of identifying their “biological sex” without the “consent of the child’s parent, guardian, or custodian.”

If Russia is going to try to expand by conquering neighboring countries, then this SHOULD be a world war. The nations of the world should neutralize Russia's ability to do that. If a "peace deal" involves Russia getting ANY PART of Ukraine, then Putin knows he can get away with it again.
