The woman who founded Motherâs Day eventually came to despise the commercialization of it. In 1943, she began a petition to rescind the holiday. People from the flower and greeting card industries had her committed to a sanitarium, where she died.

As a progressive homeschooling parent, the "parental rights" framing drives me nuts. I don't homeschool my kids because it is my right against the government. It's a way to help them learn about themselves and grow in a cooperative community. Safeguards do not impede that goal at all

A core part of the Supreme Courtâs stated rationale for gutting the Voting Rights Act is that racism isnât a problem anymore, so former Confederate states would never disenfranchise Black voters the way those states are doing right now.

Tomorrow morning, we will be dropping a ~12,000 word story on Paul Pressler, the alleged sexual predator who remade the Southern Baptist Convention and helped ordain the marriage between the GOP and white evangelical voters. There is *a lot* in there and I hope you'll read it.

We now know the Iran war price tag is more like $50 billion - hundreds of dollars per household - and counting. It's enough to cover all the health insurance premium credits that the Republicans got rid of for this year, and next. It could save rural hospitals, pay teachers, fix roads.
