💯 Heads were exploding on social media because people didn’t take time to ask WHY she did what she did and to learn how this works. Justice KBJ is a gift from the goddesses and I just hope the 6 lunatics don’t wear her down to a nub.

I await the day when the Democratic party CELEBRATES increasing their vote shares of Black, Brown, API, and Indigenous votes as much as they celebrate winning Trump voters.
It tells me about what and who you value. And so far you ain't doing so well.

Explanation of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's ruling.
The pause will send it back to the First Circuit where a final ruling will be made. That will actually be the final ruling and speed up SNAP’s return. I expect the First Circuit to vote to release the SNAP funds.

Absolutely this. Again and again and again.
When people celebrate the individual genius of folks in science, they should also
mourn the collective loss of genius of folks who were actively discouraged or disadvantaged from a career in science because of the same person(s)

The same people offering full throated defenses of a man with a Nazi tattoo suddenly can’t process that the Supreme Court Justice that most consistently calls out MAGA must have a good reason to rule in a way that goes against her well established record. No nuance at all ever when it comes to BW

The federal government is putting its full weight behind purging Black people from public life and the press and opposition party is silent as it does so.
“The Committee’s unfounded accusations, dependence on clearly compromised sources, and selective presentation of ‘evidence’ represent an unprecedented abuse of congressional power—designed not to find the truth, but to silence leadership that refuses to yield to political pressure.”
