A reminder that in 2010 the Bloody Sunday inquiry found

- the killings were unjustified
- none of the 14 dead (7 of whom were children) had guns
- no warnings were given
- no soldiers were under threat
- the troops were the first to open fire

43 years on, we await the first prosecution.

It was a looong couple of months in DC, but SO great to be there when Biden acknowledged Virginia’s 1/27/2020 ratification and said the ERA is the law of the land.

THANK YOU 🙏 to all who helped on this 100+ year long journey.

Especially Virginia. 🩷🥳🇺🇸
Yes! We did it! The Equal Rights Amendment is now the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution — and is the law of the land.

ACTION: Spread the word! Tell your friends. Share this post with the tag #ERAis28A.

Never quite understood the Cormac McCarthy worship. Tried reading his books a couple of times, but they always left me feeling bored, depressed, or both. Now learning he was a 47-year-old man who abused a 16-year-old girl? Awful. My sympathy goes to that vulnerable young girl—and to his fans.

I’m going to say something historians rarely say.

We haven’t been here before.

We haven’t had a near-authoritarian takeover of our government.

Admittedly, we don’t know what comes next.

There’s a wide array of options.

But know that in the US, this is new ground. And none of this is normal.

I’ll have full thoughts on next year’s Virginia House of Delegates election down the line

But district that jumped out is HD-57

It’s in Richmond suburbs and went to Harris +9% after Biden +5%

GOP Del. David Owen narrowly beat Susana Gibson there last year

Big target for Dems
