By 1980, when his presidency ended, Carter had completely transformed the federal bench, appointing 41 women and 57 racial minorities as federal judges—a 500% increase in the number of women serving on the federal bench and a nearly 200% increase in the number of nonwhite federal judges.

Dirty Dancing teaches that abortion rights are good and you should never date a guy who reads Ayn Rand, which is 90% of what you need to get through life
What’s a good movie that makes a strong political or moral point?

If we protect the most vulnerable among us, which at the moment is trans women of color, then maybe we will all get free.
We are never going to get free by “choosing our battles” and ignoring that the entire country has trained its ire at one percent of the population.
I implore you to be better.

It probably has to do with a poorly worded question, because 61% said the country is in a bad place and 52% said they didnt expect Trump to bring about positive change.
If anything, that survey seems to indicate bluesky users are the majority. But alas, NY Times needs to pump Trump.

Incredible news! Montana’s Supreme Court just affirmed that the state’s gender affirming care ban is likely unconstitutional.
This makes the state the first state Supreme Court to rule that trans medical care is protected.
This applies REGARDLESS of what the US Supreme Court does.
