Sotomayor is reading her dissent in the trans sports case from the bench, which is an extraordinary, rare move reserved for what is essentially considered to be the most grievous injustice from a court majority. She did it yesterday too in the case allowing Trump to fire agency heads.

The biggest mistake women in America ever made was not burning the country down the day Roe v. Wade was overturned. qasimrashid.substack.com/p/the-save-a...

“Equal justice under law” is not a political slogan — it is a fundamental tenet of our Constitutional Republic. When that tenet is shown to be weaker than we thought, we must have the bravery to fortify it.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) seems to have acceded to a court order and shut down the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database for use as a voter registration list citizenship checker. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office says they’re reviewing the case that LAPD presented regarding Brian Palacios, an ICE agent who killed Keith Porter, Jr. while off duty. Saying “cases like this can take several months or more to resolve.”

The Montgomery Bus Boycott lasted over a year. White America fails to appreciate that this is the level of commitment required to bring about change.

If you owe a woman $5 million for sexual assault, you also owe the country your resignation.

It’s good that the Supreme Court confirmed people born in America are … wait for it … Americans. 🇺🇸 But anything less than a 9-0 decision upholding this clear constitutional right is extraordinarily troubling. There's a pattern here that cannot be ignored. www.aft.org/press-releas...

Thou shalt expand and reform the Supreme Court. Thou shalt only support candidates who promise to do so. Can I get an amen?

Congratulations right-wingers, now the soccer coach gets to check your daughter’s genitalia.

Marine biologist Dr. Joan Murrell Owens (b. #OTD 1933) faced racism & sickle-cell anemia kept her from diving. She persevered. With the support of the Smithsonian, she did her marine research thru the study of collection items & discovered a new genus & 3 new species of button corals. #WomenInSTEM

IDGAF if someone has an "unfair advantage" in children's sports because the point of children's sports is for children to move their bodies, play, and build team skills. They should be co-ed anyway, because in the big grown-up world boys and girls and thems need to work together.

Just to reassure Texans, I went to a church primary school where we had to read the Bible every day. There’s no better way to create a generation of atheists.

Huh! Well, these actually are like my favorite pickles already, so... that's good to know? 👍 www.witn.com/2026/06/29/m...

Anyone saying they want to do a genital check on kids before they can play on a sports team needs to get a throat punch and be curb-stomped until they change their shitty life choices

The Supreme Court bans transgender athletes - on the last day of Pride Month. Typical asshole move from SCOTUS.

If transgender people in sports bother you more than a pedophile covering up child rape, then you are disgusting.

The Stonewall Uprising was a riot for equality, love and the freedom to be who you are. We won't let today's bigots erase this pivotal moment for progress and undo everything those brave LGBTQ+ Americans fought for.

Thou shalt vote blue no matter who. Even if it’s a bright young Democratic Socialist. Hey, we don’t make the rules, you do.

"The Extreme Sentences Handed to Anti-ICE Protesters Should Terrify Us All" 30-100 years! Perhaps the most important and scary story you'll read all week:

NOAA was shut down but someone stepped up. www.climate.us

In a just world…the Post Master General David Steiner would have his corrupt ass arrested today…for admitting to his plans to interfere in an election.

Josh Johnson. I haven't laughed this hard in so long. He is spot on! youtu.be/1ZB8PWECBWc?...

Did anyone else catch the irony of Jennifer Hudson singing the song that she sang after she sang the national anthem for Obama's opening of his presidential library? I don't want to give it away. I was so admiring her singing and laughing so hard at the same time! www.youtube.com/live/izvNFrI...

BREAKING: San Marcos just voted to prohibit data centers across the entire city. This is what happens when regular people stand up to the biggest corporations on earth. These corrupt bigshots may have money, but Texans still have the final say.

BREAKING - No ICE Facility in Romulus! We've been fighting this for months and USCIS is now planning to sell the facility. This is a huge win and I will keep fighting against ICE terrorizing our neighborhoods until we abolish ICE! www.detroitnews.com/story/news/l...

8/ Florida's "ghost candidate" scheme ran fake spoiler candidates with no real campaign, bankrolled by PAC money, to siphon votes. The model is portable and still in use. Republicans actually do everything they accuse Democrats of doing. #AllTheyDoIsLie www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

THE LATEST GROUP I'M SUPPORTING - Identifying suspicious (ghost) voter records likely being used to add/change votes "An absentee ballot for a voter in one Florida county gets mailed to a completely different county: Miami… before being forwarded somewhere else entirely."

He's creating ghost voter databases and subbing them in with votes the way he wants, on the back end of the voting process where they are no checks.

Ghost voters in Florida. Please share this widely! youtu.be/zADg0aYiEqA?...

Really need people to stop saying that the Minnesota 15 are going to be fine, that their charges will be dropped like ours. That was four days before trial, was NOT supposed to happen, and only did because of persistent, diligent, and incredible work by our lawyers.

White House correspondents dinner 2017. A trump roast. So much foresight. It's only gotten worse. youtu.be/c89aBPd2hDM?...

On this day in history 160 years ago, Congress passed the 14th Amendment to enshrine the right to birthright citizenship in our Constitution. We went to the Supreme Court earlier this year to preserve this essential right for generations to come.

Washington Nat'l Opera sues the Kennedy Center alleging that the Center STOLE the opera's endowment. WNO had a longterm agreement where KC ran the opera's development back office, and in 2025 KC just ... stopped doing it and seized the funds. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

From Big Tech’s recent attempts to save face, to passing multiple data center moratoriums just in this past week, it’s clear that our people power in this fight is stronger than ever – and STILL growing 💪 Here’s yet another victory from Jackson County, FL!

We wanted to take a moment to thank Judge Angel Kelley of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Judge Kelley has temporarily blocked the National Park Service from

I have to say, removing a usurper king's name from a building really is a great way to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our founding.

A federal judge just ordered the Trump administration to reinstall exhibits and signs relating to slavery ​and climate change that it ⁠had removed from ​parks and monuments nationwide

Trump has now rolled back fishing protections in every U.S. Marine National Monument, opening millions of acres of previously protected ocean waters to commercial fishing. The move threatens critical habitat for whales, sea turtles, sharks, coral reefs, and other marine life.

Robert Reich has the answer… The ceiling on income subject to Social Security payroll tax must be raised. If all income in excess of $400,000 were subject to Social Security payroll tax, solvency would be guaranteed forever, and also expand SS benefits. robertreich.substack.com/p/they-dont-...

Here's a little messed up humor. youtu.be/4I2uCZAOle0?...

Insane self-blinding of the US. They are throwing away their investment in the ocean observation system and the benefits it provides. The only explanation I can think of: they don’t want the people to know what their fossil emissions are doing to our oceans. easternherald.com/2026/06/13/u...

Chief Justice John Roberts has spent years shielding Trump and the powerful from accountability. Enough. Tell Congress to vote for the articles of impeachment filed against him:

Ten years ago, 49 lives were taken at Orlando's Pulse Nightclub. Today, we honor the victims and their families and continue our fight to end gun violence and hate crimes once and for all.
