Worth noting LBJ used the National Guard to protect and expand civil rights; DJT is doing exactly the opposite.
“.. It's the first time since 1965 — when President Lyndon B. Johnson sent forces to Alabama to guard civil rights demonstrators — that a president has mobilized a state's National Guard without the governor's request ..”

BREAKING: Democratic Rep. Sarah McBride just flipped the script and left MAGA Rep. Keith Self speechless after he intentionally misgendered her. This is amazing.

Hear our prayer, Jesus Christ. 🧐
By me on the Bishop of Washington Mariann Budde, and how her "lecturing" "ambush" (🙄) to the Trump administration – and the world – is a rally to action we should embrace and a reminder of what faith at heart should be (no paywall) www.independent.co.uk/voices/trump...
Bishop Budde’s sermon wasn’t an ambush – it was a reminder of basic Christian values
The very fact that Trump and the right have reacted so badly over Bishop Budde’s ‘meek and mild’ sermon suggests they aren’t well acquainted with either the Bible or Christianity, writes Kat Brown

Jan 20, 1961. A blizzard the day before. Temperatures well below freezing. Without a coat or hat, JFK gave a speech we still quote today. Robert Frost, 86, recited a poem. Steinbeck and Hemingway and Rothko were among the VIPs. A million people gathered in the cold to hear it.
This is the precedent.

I’m a lawyer, but you needn’t be, to know how this’ll be decided. Chief Justice Roberts has been targeting the ACA for years. Roberts sided with the rational justices re: Trump’s “sentencing” to placate American people, fully aware this ACA case was next on the docket.
So many will die b/c of this.

The Supreme Court said Friday it will review the constitutionality of a provision of the Affordable Care Act that requires health plans to provide no-cost preventive care, including cancer screenings, immunizations and contraception, to millions of Americans.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.
Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

If House Republicans really wanted to protect women, they'd release the Ethics Committee report on Matt Gaetz' alleged sex trafficking - not try to ban their colleagues from using the bathroom. Stop the bigotry and release the report.
