#Thread Millions of you have watched the final season of @OITNB and I hope you can’t stop thinking about the characters and their stories. The last 10 years since my memoir was published have been crazy and instructive, and I want to offer a few reflections. #FreeHer #OITNB

I am doing my best not to absolutely lose my shit, but how in the fuck do you publish a profile of the leader of Students for Life and not once mention that they want to make birth control illegal? theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

As a long-time queer I wanna remind folks that safety of trans/queer folks is abt more than "state-sponsored discrimination". It's also state violence like NYPD murder of Kawaski Trawick, a Black gay man cooking at home when he was killed. Eric Adams should #FireThompsonAndDavis
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor

I have a message for our #LGBTQ+ community and to families anywhere living in fear of state-sponsored discrimination:
 We welcome you to New York City where you can be safe and feel safe to love and be who you are.

And here is what an expert said: “Thomas was hiding a financial relationship with Crow.”

Thomas did not respond to our detailed questions.  Crow did.  The sale involved Thomas' childhood home, and Crow wrote:   “My intention is to one day create a public museum at the Thomas home dedicated to telling the story of our nation’s second black Supreme Court Justice.”

Not a question we should need to ask. Yet here we are. My guess is that SCOTUS will decline to hear this case. Note that Dunn's innocence isn't in doubt. The question is whether the Constitution permits Missouri to keep him in prison anyway. slate.com/news-and-polit…

Much like the sheriffs who "don't enforce laws" -- this is not a "separation of powers" problem. This is about ensuring racist hierarchies. It also reflects the problem of tweaking a system that tbqh required major reform.

I’ve been talking for a while now about preemption efforts by legislators that target democratically elected prosecutors, mayors and cities. They are often Black officials minority-majority cities and the efforts are meant to shame and diminish.

Breaking News: A Shelby County commissioner says the Republican state government is now threatening to pull funding for Memphis schools and infrastructure projects if they vote to re-appoint Rep. Justin Pearson to his democratically-elected seat. fox13memphis.com/news/memphis-c…

This is how cops in Uvalde, who stood around while 19 kids were killed, treats one of the victim’s mother. They’ve done more to brutalize parents than to stop an active shooter. They’ll attack a mother with a sign but hide from killer with an AR-15.
