Dior is accused of “cultural appropriation” for allowing Jennifer Lawrence to advertise its latest Mexican-inspired collection. Never mind that Mexican women modeled the collection when unveiled, and Dior Magazine features photographs shot in Mexico by Mexican photographers.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

I agree that our party should, and must, evolve our leadership. But changed leadership should reflect an actual, evolved mission; namely, an increased commitment to the middle + working class electorate that put us here. Otherwise it’s a just new figure with the same problems.

With Republican secretaries of state pursuing voter suppression tactics in states across the country, it’s more important than ever that we elect officials who will make sure every eligible citizen can vote. Kudos to @iVoteFund and @KatieHobbs.

Sorry Chief Justice John Roberts, but you do indeed have “Obama judges,” and they have a much different point of view than the people who are charged with the safety of our country. It would be great if the 9th Circuit was indeed an “independent judiciary,” but if it is why...are so many opposing view (on Border and Safety) cases filed there, and why are a vast number of those cases overturned. Please study the numbers, they are shocking. We need protection and security - these rulings are making our country unsafe! Very dangerous and unwise!
