Sitting here thinking about all these calls to “save” democracy. How do we save something that has never really existed? To call a thing a “democracy” doesn’t make it so.
Did community service early this morning, giving a presentation on Julian Bond to Albemarle High School students and teachers. Thanks to @LBakerEditor for joining me & to all of who attended. BTW, I did not blow my nephew’s cover, though some figured out that we are kin.
.@GeorgiaPower: As a rate-paying customer, I'm outraged your lobbyists at @Edison_Electric attempted to block @EPA's common-sense limits on power plant pollution. Stop using money from MY energy bill to kill critical climate action. #UtilityMomentofTruth
The case is Bond v. Floyd (1966), in which the #SupremeCourt held that state representatives cannot be punished by the legislature for their constitutionally protected political speech. 🧵2/7 #JulianBond#TenneseeThree#FreeSpeech
1/ What Tennessee did yesterday isn't just reprehensible. It also violates well-established law. In December of 1966, the United States Court unanimously decided a case called Bond v. Floyd. Julian Bond was a Black man, elected to the Georgia legislature.
@EmansReviews It’s disgusting what they’ve done and bullshit. Why they couldn’t stick to the story is unreal. His sister does become BlkPanther but briefly. Should have been recasted period. No Black male superhero for us,no matter how profitable. They couldn’t take it.
