Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown.
Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

A Maine woman retired early to be a caregiver for her terminally ill mother.
Now she’s facing cancer herself, and because ACA subsidies won’t be extended, she is losing her healthcare.
Her costs are going up for $49,000 a year.
This isn’t healthcare, it’s eugenics.
Medicare for all.

A baby died of whooping cough in Kentucky… it’s the third child death from the disease in the past 12 months.
Measles and whooping cough are highly preventable with vaccination.
Sadly none of the children or their mothers were vaccinated.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food.
The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of what are called "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

I haven't heard anything from American architects about Trump removing their Professional designation. In the UK it took me nine years to get my professional accreditation, which I still have. It's incredibly hard won. There's exams! You've got to study law. It's a Thing.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Downgrading women's profession to trades, occupations or "just jobs" gets to the root of systemic misogyny. Sure, it's funny to joke about male insecurity but they aren't insecure. They are furious because they've lost power over women. It's costly them money. Abusing us too is just icing for them.
