New in PN: Stephen Miller's radically bogus idea of "plenary authority"

"Miller’s contention about ICE officers 'having to street battle against antifa every night' is objectively absurd. Courts cannot possibly be required to accept anything Trump says, no matter how disconnected from reality."

Stephen Miller's radically bogus idea of "plenary authority"

This is not how the Constitution works.

We remember trans icon and civil rights advocate Miss Major Griffin-Gracy. A pillar in our community, Miss Major's lifetime of challenging work fundamentally changed and improved the lives of so many — especially Black trans women.

Our statement from HRC President @kelleyjrobinson.bsky.social:

"All of us at the Human Rights Campaign feel a profound sense of loss at the passing of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy.

She held many roles throughout her life: prison reform and civil rights activist, HIV outreach and prevention educator, executive director, executive producer. To many, though, she was best known as 'Mom' — as she mentored and looked over so many younger trans women in the community. A pillar in our community, Miss Major's lifetime of challenging work fundamentally changed and improved the lives of so many, especially Black transgender women. From Stonewall to her HIV activism to her support of so many transgender and gender nonconforming folks in the South, her legacy is powerful and lasting.

We owe her a debt that can never be repaid." — Kelley Robinson. President, Human Rights Campaign

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.
