That six-year-old is William Cho. He and his family went to the mall in Allen, Texas to exchange clothes that he received for his birthday. And his entire family was shot in the process. Just let that sink in. This is America & it’s because we have weak, spineless Republicans.

Alito and Thomas just invent cases to drive their bigoted decisions, no doubt funded by dark money. The man named in the 303 case never asked for a website, and he’s straight and married to a woman. This court has a legitimacy crisis. cnn.com/2023/06/30/pol…
