Our armed forces fight for higher ideals: that all of us are created equal, for freedom; so that people in the LGBTQ community can be free to be true to themselves. These 2 celebrations are connected. Today’s GOP doesn’t believe in freedom.

Can’t we make space to honor everyone? Gimme a break!

If this is happening outside courts, why aren’t there officers protecting these people?

Interesting article. Definitely resonates. I believe we wouldn’t be here but for social media- it’s an easy vehicle for brainwashing people. What a study.

Hate and cruelty lead to nowhere. It’s hard to fathom how most of our GOP leaders are fine with this: a poorer, sicker, weaker nation.

I read his book, Just Mercy. The story starts in 1989- the racism in the south was shocking to me. This particular guard is transformed by an experience with Bryan’s client and it opens his heart. It was one of the best parts of the story.

Oh- I’m bummed I missed this. What a lovely message in every way!

It’s horrible. Bryan Stevenson- a black lawyer who started the Equal Justice Initiative, was repeatedly body cavity searched by a white prison guard upon entering a prison in Alabama while there to see a client sometime in the 90s (?). It does happen. (I believe the guard later regretted it)

This needs an angry face or a “bird,” not a heart!

“I don’t like him either, but….” That’s there excuse over and over. As if not liking him gives cover for their support of the most vile, hate-filled bully ever.

In 4 months this regime has destroyed our alliances, trading partners, science, trust, our leadership and standing in the world. America alone is America diminished. Thanks, MAGA. We are no longer the leader of the free world. My heart breaks for all who have given their lives to protect freedom.

My husband and I were there in 1993-we stayed on Galiano Island and went whale watching off the west coast of Vancouver Island. Beautiful place!

Not Chief Justice Roberts. Kevin Roberts as the head of the Heritage Foundation said this.

If this Big Gross Bill gets through the senate, the courts will be kneecapped. It takes away the ability of the courts to hold officials in contempt.

And he spread lies about Biden’s response to hurricane Helene. Will his voters ever learn?

Can blue state legislatures pass laws that allow their residents to withhold federal taxes to put pressure on Trump? I’m thinking outside the box here. Why should taxpayers be forced to uphold this sh*t?

I’m just stunned the GOP is just sitting there letting it all happen. Many of them know this is really bad for our country. We’ve lost allies, trading partners, soft power, great minds, research, tourism, our standing in the world. For WHAT?

I’m sorry- it’s the Still Face Experiment.

Incredible. Have you seen the baby face experiment? Babies are hardwired to connect- their very survival depends on it.

And none of it will matter if this Big Horrid Bill passes in the senate. It takes away the ability of judges to hold officials in contempt.

At tremendous cost, is right. We were leading the world in scientific research. Destroyed in weeks.

Bitching about one judge using an injunction to enforce a law nationwide. When the GOP favors that law, they go judge shopping and totally support injunctions that support their pet causes. They also favor states rights until it bumps up against their ideologies. Then they want federal law.

Ectopic pregnancies are no joke. Ohio actually tried to pass a law in 2010 to force doctors to transfer the fertilized egg of an ectopic pregnancy into the womb- which is impossible. These lawmakers are nuts. They pass laws with zero consultation from professionals

If this bill passes, it’s my understanding that these cuts won’t go into effect until 2029- so if a Democrat takes the helm (god willing), the voters will blame the democrats. The GOP is awful.

Black America has always known what we are witnessing and experiencing right now in America. Personally, that has been one good thing about this horrid time: I have become much more aware of their struggle, and my privilege.
