It's been an amazing, news-packed week — with states moving to bring down their Confederate flags following criticisms that they're racist symbols, the Supreme Court upholding Obamacare's health insurance subsidies, and the court legalizing same-sex marriage in all 50 states.
The Southern Poverty Law Center posted a cartoon that perfectly summarizes the week. The cartoon appears to be an altered version of a strip by Bob Englehart that shows the Confederate flag coming down, but not the LGBTQ pride flag rising.
Looks about right.
Contributions are a key part of the future of Vox
Readers rely on Vox for clear, nuanced coverage that not only illuminates the issues, but poses solutions, too. And we rely on help from our readers: Advertising and grants cover the majority of our costs, but we count on contributions to help us close the gaps in our budget. In fact, we’re looking to reach 95,000 individual contributions before the end of the year. Will you make the next contribution right now? Our average gift is just $20 — and it goes a long way in helping us keep our work free. Vox is here to help everyone understand what’s shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. Join that mission by making a contribution today.
