The first Jim Crow was enacted under the auspices that racism is a necessity and a great and natural moral good.

The second one is being enacted under the auspices that racism doesn’t exist if you claim you don’t see it and anyone who questions your motives about that is oppressing you.

Roberts has always felt that the suggestion that white people might discriminate on the basis of race is a profound moral injustice, much greater than black people being denied the right to vote bsky.app/profile/jayw...

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.

All the right wing grifters are out in force writing opinion pieces about “WOKE.” Just a reminder: the term woke comes from AAVE during the civil rights era, it meant being awake to social and racial injustice. Imagine being mad at that and using it as an insult

Once American democracy made it possible for a Black man to be elected president, American conservatives decided that it had to be destroyed

While Vought traces the “leftwing revolution” back a hundred years, to the progressive era, there is no question that the election of Barack Obama was a radicalizing moment for him and many key thinkers on the radical Right - as were the multiracial protests in the summer of 2020.

Our sister galaxy, Andromeda (M 31). She is looking on from a distance, and slightly furrowed with concern.

A large spiral galaxy with a prominent disk and small central spheroid is centered on a black background dotted with stars. There are brown dust spirals in the disk, and some slight warping of the disk is apparent. Two bright dwarf galaxies are visible nearby.

Quick lil reminder:
Picking on the physical characteristics (weight, height, etc) of someone who's clearly just a trash human being isn't the dunk you think it is.
