BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

A fed judge in August struck down Arkansas’s 10 Commandments in public schools law, calling it part of a “coordinated strategy among several states” to get a sympathetic Roberts Court to revisit “precedent on religious displays in the public school context.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is the hardest I have seen any member of Congress work to try and address transphobia in Congress, and her ability to get nearly all Democratic lawmakers to sign onto this letter is something any first would applaud
House Dems unite to tell GOP to stop "demonizing" trans people with "dehumanizing" slurs - LGBTQ Nation
Rep. Nancy Mace's "tra**y, tra**y, tra**y!" tirade is just one example.

NEW: The White House intervened in a DHS investigation.

The target? Sex offender Andrew Tate.

The WH person? Paul “Nazi Streak” Ingrassia.

Who was previously also Tate’s lawyer.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

2028 watch: The most effective ad for Prop 50 came not from Gavin Newsom. It came from AOC.

Just got back from the federal building in downtown San Diego where our local bishop and other church leaders were leading a vigil for the immigrants unjustly incarcerated there. The leadership the church has shown on this issue is inspiring.

She became a citizen this fall, and her first vote was to oust a Republican sheriff who had just contracted with ICE.

And the sheriff lost.

Powerful example of how it feels to make a difference:
An immigration advocate who registered to vote in Pennsylvania for the first time this fall says she is “full of hope and happiness” because Sheriff Fred Harran, who has closely partnered with ICE, was defeated, thanks in part to her vote.
