Racism thriving in DeSantis’ paradise. (AP)A.J. Laguerre, Angela Michelle Carr + Jerrald Gallion were slain 8/26 by a gunman w/ swastikas painted on his rifle. Sheriff said the killer, a 21-y-o white man, made clear he was motivated by racism. Each victim was Black.
What todays Supreme Court rulings mean for the LGBTQ community and it’s supporters:
Someone walks into your business with a MAGA hat on…no service.
Someone walks in with a gun hanging from their hip…no service.
Someone walks in wearing transphobic merch…no service.
Someone walks in with Jesus loves me on their shirt…no service.
Someone walks in wearing the confederate flag…no service.
It’s time to fight fire with fire. 🔥
I want everyone to keep in mind that this ruling comes from a situation that never happened. Yup, a hypothetical story from a bigoted lady’s mind was used to now decide that businesses can discriminate against LGBTQ+ folks.
With their rulings on affirmative action, student loan forgiveness, and LGBTQ+ discrimination, the Right Wing Supreme Court fully inserted itself into the 2024 election. Democrats' best move is to make addressing the court's corruption a signature issue https://t.co/Wz8AXLU4oe
HOW? The question will be asked thousands of times today & for years going forward: How can a made up business with a made up scenario take a made up case all the way to the US Supreme Court? As a lawyer, former lawmaker and LGBTQ+ advocate the answer is: A corrupt Supreme Court!
On the last day of Pride Month, an extremist and unelected SCOTUS uses a made-up case to hand out a “constitutional" right to discriminate against LGBTQ people.
What an embarrassment for our country.
I’m sorry. In America, your right to exercise your religion doesn’t give you a right to discriminate.
If your business is open to the public, you don’t retain some license to discriminate based on religious belief. Religious bigotry is still bigotry.
SCOTUS should be ashamed.
Our government has spent TRILLIONS to bail out the big banks and the CEOs who crashed our economy. Our government cancelled MILLIONS in pandemic loans for Members of Congress.
Yet SCOTUS is saying we cannot cancel some of the student loan debt for working people.
@EliseStefanik@mtgreenee You can’t un-impeach a President. That’s not a thing. But you know that Elise. It’s just the new shiny thing to wave to distract people from the fact that your party can no longer govern.
@EliseStefanik@mtgreenee When is Congress going to actually govern? Do anythinbenefiting the American people? It’s unconscionable that you worry more about power and chaos than jobs, health care, infrastructure, and your constituents. You are shameful. Terrible legislators. Most of you should be fired.
When Democrats had control of the House, they passed the American Rescue Plan, a bipartisan Infrastructure bill, the first major gun safety legislation in decades, the CHIPS Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, the PACT Act and the Respect for Marriage Act.
Republicans have had a dude fight, a cat fight and a BS censure vote.
Any questions?
@DarrigoMelanie Alito, like Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and the Christian lady are all bought players. In today’s America, if you’re a billionaire you can fly into space, visit the Titanic, and purchase congressmen and SC justices
