This is just wrong. If you can't take a stand against Nazis, you have no ethical standing at all. Hate & bigotry should be stamped out, not given a platform in the name of "free speech" (i.e. making a buck). Hope this hurts rather than helps their bottom line, because they deserve a boycott.

Donald Trump has turned the GOP into the anti-science, anti-education, anti-facts, anti-democracy, pro-violence, pro-authoritarian party of crime. Decent thinking people who used to be Republicans know better than to stick around and pretend it’s not.

Inflation is down to 2.97% but prices are still higher than they should be.
As we've screamed all along—the leading driver of high prices was not inflation, but corporate price gouging. And corporations fund politicians to prevent accountability. That is the problem we face.

And Roberts has shown little interest in holding them to account for numerous conflicts of interest.
The Supreme Court is facing a legitimacy crisis, and failing to hold Thomas accountable will only make it worse.
