Costco’s shareholders voted overwhelmingly to reject a proposal from a conservative think tank aimed at getting the company to roll back its diversity hiring practices.

I wish every Dem office would read this and internalize it. "The only sensible and dignified course of action is to accept that Republicans are in charge and to focus in on making their unpopular actions as painful as possible...The job of the opposition is quite literally to oppose. Get to it."

I loved and admired this woman. She was one I would follow into battle. A true fighter and ally in every way. God bless you Cecile Richards. Rest in Peace and Power. www.cnn.com/2025/01/20/u...
