Montana in particular has a surprisingly progressive constitution. It was only enacted in 1972, largely in response to rampant corruption in the state. Montanans have the "right to a clean and healthy environment," included because of the abuses of the mining industry, for example.

While slavery was definitely one contributing factor to the Texas Revolution, it wasn't the primary reason for the revolution, like it was for the US South in the Civil War. The Texas Revolution only kicked off after Santa Anna dissolved the Mexican Legislature, ended the Mexican Constitution, and created a centralized Catholic government. 15 Mexican states rebelled at the same time in response, "Alta California, Nuevo México, Tabasco, Sonora, Coahuila y Tejas, San Luis Potosí, Querétaro, Durango, Guanajuato, Michoacán, Yucatán, Jalisco, Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, and Zacatecas."
Santa Anna led the army to brutally repress each rebellion. Texas was the only rebellion to succeed, largely due to having more people than the other states and supply lines to the US.
Santa Anna's pattern of indiscriminate executions of hundreds of people at a time definitely contributed to the veracity with which Texans fought. Santa Anna was responsible for the slaughter of thousands of people across Mexico, including many indigenous people, and by the end, he appointed himself dictator for life and made everyone call him "His Most Serene Highness."
Santa Anna was a total dick
This is friendly reminder that the owner of Buc-ee's is a prolific donor to Republican candidates in Texas
While there is 100% an element of sexism here, I also think there's an element of these specific people having first names that are more specific identifiers. If you say Clinton, you may not effectively convey which one without more context, and Harris is a very common last name, whereas Trump, Biden, and Obama are very unique names.
People have never hesitated to say Pelosi, Klobuchar, or Slotkin, for example.
Yeah mine is oatmeal with walnuts, honey, coconut, and a bit of cocoa powder with a scoop of cottage cheese. Classic American breakfast 😂
When you say "American breakfast," we do have that sometimes, but what it actually consists of and the quality (e.g. type of bacon or sausage, how the eggs are cooked) varies widely. Where I live, breakfast tacos are much more common than the stereotypical American breakfast though
Here in the US, we learned quite a bit about the UK & USSR's roles in WWII in school, also, but granted this was back in the 90s. We learned nothing about that other country
Trump's attacks on the Pope plus that picture of him as Jesus really seemed to touch a nerve among some of their die-hard supporters in a way we don't typically see. They're really going to keep going after the Pope?
That's...not a simple mistake. Like...what was the plan after the liver came out? It sounds like the guy legitimately believed it was a spleen...
I'm guessing there were some red flags ignored by the hospital prior to this
Guess who paid for your school while you were in it
