It's 100 percent worse for Black women in media. Just like it's worse for Black women in nearly every job in the country.

I'd go further—it's not just that so many of these decisions are unsigned and unexplained; it's that there's so little about how the Court even *decides* these cases that is publicly understood:

All the people being fired for telling the truth about Charlie Kirk—many of them women—in the aftermath of his death demonstrates that his legacy was never one about universal free speech.
It was only ever about about straight, white, conservative Christian men spouting bigotry without consequence.

1️⃣ Help Zohran win with a mandate for his agenda.
When it comes to the general election, Z's the frontrunner. But when it comes to delivering his agenda, our team is still the underdog, for the state must agree to fund it.
A million general-election votes for Z would send a clear message to Albany.
