Wear yellow. It doesn't need to be an entire outfit (but could be 😀). A bandana, a hat, a shirt - any bright pop of yellow will work perfectly! @indivisible.org 1/

Everything about John Roberts's approach to the Voting Rights Act makes sense when you remember that John Roberts has has always been hostile to the Voting Rights Act, never believed it was appropriate, and has spent most of his 45-year legal career working to hollow it out.

One of the Biggest Cases of the Supreme Court’s Term Is John Roberts’ Decadeslong Pet Project

If there’s one thing the Roberts court has been consistent on, it’s this.

Donald Trump once said that keeping the government open is the president’s responsibility. By his own measure, he’s failed. Lousy leadership & staggering incompetence!

Bayard Rustin was one of the most influential organizers of the civil rights movement, leading key protests like the 1963 March on Washington for racial justice.

Bayard dedicated his life to fighting for equal rights for the Black community, LGBTQ people, and economic justice.

Black and white photo of Bayard Rustin in a suit sitting at a desk with papers on it. Text on the graphic reads "When an individual is protesting society's refusal to acknowledge his dignity as a human being, his very act of protest confers dignity on him." The quote is attributed to Bayard Rustin, civil rights activist, organizer for the 1963 March on Washington

Last Friday, all but two senior staff members in the federal Department of Education’s Office of Special Education Programs received reduction-in-force notices.

These layoffs are a major blow to the agency that's in charge of the money needed for the roughly 7.5 million disabled students.

Trump's new layoffs hurt disabled kids

"This is absolutely a violation of federal law."

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

New from me:
newrepublic.com/article/2014...

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.
