  BIG CUP: THE WEEK’S TOP STORIES

First the good news: The American Library Association pushed back against the dark money-funded book banning craze intended to keep the Republican base in a state of ecstatic rage (Critical Rage Theory?). And the White House looks like Christmas again instead of the Red Wedding from Game of Thrones.

Another day, another COVID variant, as Omicron starts its spread across the globe. Poised to eviscerate women’s reproductive rights, a radicalized Supreme Court showed its hand during oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Expect the obliteration of more freedoms and the Court’s legitimacy in the coming years.
