Stories like this reveal so much about what kind of person is still willing to identify themselves as Republican these days.

Tommy Douglas, Canadaโ€™s venerable socialist leader and the father of its single-payer health care system, died on this day in 1986.

He is now revered as the โ€œgreatest Canadian.โ€ But in his time, he was a radical and an enemy of the establishment.

in public, the men's hockey team has been supportive of the women's team, going to games, cheering them on, saying they were inspired by the OT golden goal
must be gutting to feel that support and then get first-hand evidence that behind closed doors, when it's just The Boys, they're laughing at you

Hindus and Jews are much more likely to have a four-year college degree than Americans in other religious groups, according to Pew Research Centerโ€™s 2023-24 Religious Landscape Study (RLS).  Seven-in-ten Hindus and 65% of Jews have a bachelorโ€™s degree or more education. That compares with 35% of U.S. adults overall.  On the other end of the spectrum, lower shares of evangelical Protestants (29%) and members of historically Black Protestant denominations (24%) hold college degrees. The shares of college graduates for several other religious groups range from 35% to 45%.
