Happening Now!

Hundreds of students are walking out of a Florida High School in support of trans student athletes, after their principal and volleyball coach was removed from the campus for allowing trans participation in their girls school volleyball team.

Incredible.

Oh! What about this one?

"Yes! No! A First Conversation about Consent" - developed by experts, this book introduces the concept of bodily autonomy and consent.

This book was challenged because it spread "misinformation about consent."

"Soon the attackers and critics will move on... If the next time a friend becomes the focus of hate, may we all speak up a little sooner and a little louder to at least say this is my friend. If we do that, we may say we learned," Bubba Copeland's friend David White said.

Bubba Copeland's son Carter spoke today at his father's funeral, recalling how they bonded over music and how he treated all with kindness. "I will choose happiness when others choose bitterness...Regardless of the hate, I will respond with love." https://t.co/CDQUxreCJI

This is Willie Jo Price.

She's been working in the cafeteria at the Library of Congress for 42 years & won’t get a paycheck or backpay if the government shuts down.

Fighting tears, she told me she worries if she will be able to pay her bills by the end of the month.

VICTORY: Today, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Alabama’s attempt to defy its orders to draw a fair congressional map.

The state must follow through in drawing a second district where Black voters have an opportunity to elect a candidate of their choice by the 2024 Elections.

[ACLU of Alabama @ACLUAlabama]

Today is a major win for voting rights.

SCOTUS rejected AL's attempt to deny Black voters a 2nd majority district. After many attempts by the state of AL to eliminate fair representation, a Special Master and cartographer have been directed to draw the map for the 2024 Election.

@katiewr31413491 @SenatorDurbin @JudiciaryDems She never liked sports until she found roller derby where the only people excluded are those who identify as male.

@katiewr31413491 @SenatorDurbin @JudiciaryDems I know you would be upset if your child found something they loved but were told it wouldn't be fair to a few other players for them to participate.

@katiewr31413491 @SenatorDurbin @JudiciaryDems Let's do studies to see if injury rates are higher in teams with trans girls, mixed gender or teams with no children assigned male at birth.
