Justice Sotomayor's dissent in Skrmetti (which she's now reading from the bench) is deeply pained, accusing her colleagues of abandoning "transgender children and their families to political whims" and badly damaging "bedrock" principles of equal protection. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

The violence that peaceful protestors in Los Angeles have endured is unconstitutional.
Protesters have the right to peacefully challenge unjust actions of the administration, and it’s up to local & state officials to uphold their rights and keep them protected.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal."
That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

Political violence has no place in a functioning democracy! This weekend, an extremist in Minnesota shot and killed a state legislator and wounded another, both who have been staunch supporters of social justice, including abortion rights.

But we have the people.
And the only thing more powerful than all this billionaire cash are New Yorkers talking to their neighbors.

With early voting starting tomorrow, we're cross-endorsing to defeat the ex-Gov. and win a city everyone can afford. Rank Brad #2!

From supporting right to counsel in housing court to congestion pricing, @marklevinenyc.bsky.social has always been a forceful and efficient advocate for New Yorkers' access to affordable housing. I'm hopeful he can do even bigger and better things as NYC's next comptroller!
