Implement public election financing, ban Congressional stock trades, limit PACs, adopt strict SCOTUS ethics rules, and tighten lobbyist disclosures. The moneyed elite's grip on the U.S. political system is looking to turn the middle class into serfs.

"The goal of targeting trans women’s participation in sports is to create a federal law that declares trans women are men. Once that precedent is established, then the laws can become more restrictive until it’s no longer legally viable to exist as a trans person under federal law." 👇
I wrote about Speaker Mike Johnson's first priority fore this congress: banning about 20 total trans athletes from sports. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

making Democrats look bad by defending trans women — or look bad by not defending trans women — isn’t Republicans’ end goal here.

But Khurram was not powerful on his own. He was surrounded by powerful women – raised by his step-grandmother Ruquiya Sultan, adored by his eldest daughter Jahanara, and most important of all loved by his wife Mumtaz Mahal. She was his confidante, and to lose her would break his heart.

The reigns of Jahangir saw the artistic highpoint of the Mughal atelier, and with it the moment of greatest celebrity for the master artists at court. Jahangir awarded the brilliant animal painter Mansur and his rival Abu’l Hasan, ‘Wonder of the Age,’ and “Wonder of the Times.”
