Students at Staley High School in Kansas City, Missouri, walked out of class on Tuesday to march for Ralph Yarl, their Black classmate who was shot twice on Thursday by an 84-year-old white man after going to the wrong address to pick up his brothers. nyti.ms/3UK71Gj

Tennessee State Rep. Justin Pearson speaks after vote to expel him from the House over participating in gun protests: “Our lives are at stake. And we're going to fight for our lives, just like they're fighting for the NRA." #TenneseeThree

This nation was built on peaceful protest. No elected official should lose their job simply for raising their voice – especially when they’re doing it on behalf of our children.

Republicans think that they won last night. They did NOT win! Here's a video of a 'Covenant Mom' embracing expelled Tennessee Rep. Justin Pearson. - Make sure this video goes viral. - Make sure everyone knows what this man stood for and what Republicans stood against. - Make sure you never forget what happened last night in Tennessee and 9 days ago in Nashville! THANK YOU Tennessee Three!

NEW: These are students at the University of Wisconsin, Eau Clare waiting in a long line to vote in the Supreme Court election right now. Young people are fire up and turning out — & they will save Wisconsin. This is absolutely huge.

It’s not the drag queens. It’s not the pot, not the porn, not the trans kids, not the video games, it’s not the locks on the doors, and it sure as shit ain’t the books about Rosa Parks. You wanna PROTECT OUR KIDS? Then do something about the motherfucking guns.

"They're not 'The Squad' They're Ilhan. They are Alexandria. And they're Rashida. They are people. They are our colleagues ... this is an AR-15" -- Steny Hoyer printed out one of Marjorie Taylor Greene's incendiary tweets

I wrote about why the little expressions of love and kindness coming out of the White House—mask-down kisses, dogs, cornucopias of kale and maybe a baby's crib—feel kinda big. vogue.com/article/why-the-do…

The savvy of it all! A repeat to remind us we've been here before, the same necklace hammering that home. Love how she swapped the House of Reps brooch (which was the focus of much coverage first time) for a funereal dark floral mask. In blue, naturally.

One of the worst outcomes of this political moment is that it’s led a lot of us to mistake decency for bravery.

How dishonorable do you have to be when even Bill Belichick thinks you're bending the rules too far to try to win? :)
Bill Belichick is turning down the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Trump in a remarkable snub of his longtime friend. Belichick was planning on receiving the word—but pressure mounted after a mob of the president's supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol. wsj.com/articles/bill-belich…

Question: @GOP politicians believe their most important mission right now is to: * Quelle the extremists in their party threatening the government. OR * Find a new platform where they can incite extremism. It's the latter, right? Like, that's been their mission this weekend,
