An organization that stood up to the Soviet Union, to Guantánamo, to death squads, couldn't withstand one billionaire's private legal war chest and a legal system with no anti-SLAPP protection. The UK is a failing police state ran for the benefit of the wealthy at the expense of scapegoats.

Republicans want to demand all women wear dresses and makeup. The way they're doing this? Pretending it's about a tiny handful of teachers, in all of North Carolina. Why would you pass a compulsory dress code for citizens that applies to 12 people unless you eventually wanted it for 50% of them?
