Happy #LawyerCat day for all who celebrate!! Today is the 2nd anniversary of Lawyercat. To celebrate, here is the full and complete hearing from start to finish, with a few seconds at the end that you haven't seen! For the next year, may you all be here live and #NotaCat.
There's more to Sanora Babb that this episode...she published Ray Bradbury's first short stories, had an affair Ralph Ellison, and was illegally married to Chinese cinematographer James Wong Howe (CA still had anti-miscegenation laws on the books)... 10/11
...Whose Names Are Unknown is far more intersectional than The Grapes of Wrath. It centers the experience of women. The workers who organize are made up of all colors... 8/11
...But...unbeknownst to her Sanora's boss had shared her notes on Dust Bowl refugees with a writer named John Steinbeck. The Grapes of Wrath made it to the Market before her book titled Whose Names Are Unknown... 6/11
She took meticulous notes on the people at the camps (mostly migrant workers). She wrote about the struggles of organizing working whites due to racist attitudes. About how powerful people take advantage of poverty. She wrote about systematic practices to keep people poor...4/11
White privilege is: facing no consequences for stealing $5M from mostly poor Black children in Mississippi to build a stadium at your white daughter’s predominantly white school and then getting mad and suing a Black man for calling you out about it.

@AFPAction@KochIndustries 8. The reality is that few individuals have spent more money to legitimize Trump and his allies than Charles Koch.
The tens of millions of dollars that AFP Action spent supporting Trump loyalists helped legitimize Trump and sets the table for his 2024 campaign.
There’s no shortage of people willing to throw shade anonymously and seemingly no shortage of publications willing to write it up and recycle beltway gossip. Those still questioning the VP’s role and impact are choosing not to see what is right in front of them.
Sadly, this month, she has also traveled on behalf of a grieving country to mourn with families in Monterey Park, CA and attend the celebration of life for Tyre Nichols in Memphis, TN.https://t.co/B3duKuC8rv
In fact, let's talk just about her January schedule. Since the start of the year @VP has traveled to MI, FL, AZ, NC, and PA speaking to thousands of people about the historic work of the Biden-Harris administration to deliver for the American people.

Thanks to President Biden’s infrastructure bill, remote locations on the Navajo Nation reservation are receiving electricity — for the first time, ever.
