I just got an interview request from a reporter at an agenda-setting DC publication. It began, "I'm working on a magazine story about political buzzwords (i.e. 'critical race theory,' 'equity,' 'cancel culture,' etc.)"—then went on...
That Clarence Thomas can wear black robes after voting against eight other Justices to protect his wife’s incriminating emails from review in a case involving an effort to subvert an election is all you need to know about the broke-ass nation-of-no-laws emptiness we now are.
With it's ruling in the Alabama case, the Supreme Court has said that there is *not* a map or gerrymander that is too racist for conservative justices. This is exactly how the Court authorized Jim Crow. It's happening AGAIN.

Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Barrett, and alleged attempted rapist Brett Kavanaugh vote to let Alabama use it's racist maps, finding (wrongly) that it's too close to the election do anything about racism.

In case you missed it, Mitch McConnell said the quiet part out loud last night: “African-American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Americans.”
Make sure everyone sees this.
“I think the tragedy is that we have a Congress with a Senate that has a minority of misguided senators who will use the filibuster to keep the majority of people from even voting.“ - MLK
59 years later, we are facing the same tragedy.
