This is your casual reminder that executive orders are not laws.
EOs are directives meant to manage the operations of the federal government. Not state governments.

Ida Wells was born enslaved but refused to live in fear. She wielded the power of the press to expose America’s greatest terror—lynching. When the truth made her a target, she didn’t back down. She co-founded the NAACP, fought for Black women’s voting rights, and left a legacy of resistance!
