I can't get enough of this video from last July of two of my favorite people talking about the #Dobbs decision. Imani Gandy and Elie Mystal discuss the decision's unintended consequences, this country's hatred of women, #SCOTUS personalities and dynamics and why they stripped voting rights first, Chief Justice Roberts' first job, Americans' ignorance and fear of female anatomy, the job of a judge, and the SCOTUS that doesn't care about reality.

Black professor leads “Teach the Truth” tours in Florida ✊🏾
“I can’t tell the story of the Newberry Six without expressing my disgust for the lynching of a pregnant woman,” said Dunn, 82, a professor emeritus at Florida International University. “As a teacher who has spent 30 years going from place to place in Florida where the most atrocious things have happened, I don’t know how to do that. And I don’t want the state telling me that I must.”

DeSantis is a white supremacist and makes no attempt to hide it.

"...our simultaneous failure to curb democratic dysfunctions like partisan gerrymandering and voter suppression inevitably go hand in hand with our failure to ensure women and girls have an equal chance to engage in and contribute to civic life—or to live freely at all.""

Pay no mind to Republicans selectively (or PARTIALLY) quoting Dr. King today. If he were alive today, they'd hate him; they abuse his words and legacy precisely because he is dead.
@aenesidemusoz @SkipFleming @TonyStark @stopgopfox@libretooth.gr To my way of thinking McCarthy IS a seditionist. He certainly voted not to certify the 2020 election
Reminder: despite white people loving to quote the line from “I Have a Dream” abt individualistic things (judging people), most of the speech was abt systemic racism, incl things that continue to harm now—police violence, housing injustice,voter suppression, insufficient change.
Lawsuits can move slowly, so challenges to voter suppression laws and gerrymandered maps from last year and beyond will hopefully have major updates this year. Here’s what to expect with democracy in courtrooms across the country.
