@Nonilex @Compassionatecrab keep in mind that when Clarence Thomas looks in the mirror he sees a white man.
Today I liberated myself from #LinkedIn.
After recently blogging that I found it pointless, I've decided to hibernate the account.
I get nothing from it. Reading so much fake positivity about how wonderful people are in their business makes me bilious. It's not how real life is! There are up, downs, and challenges.
Women are the fastest-growing group of veterans. Over 600,000 women receive veterans health care, and they have particular mental and physical health needs. Suzanne Gordon reports on how VA health cuts affect them:

Of the case’s 6 #white plaintiffs, #Sotomayor said that “no one’s stopping them from participating in the voting process,” adding that “the state is stopping #Black voters from doing that in many districts, because it’s packing them into areas that whites overwhelm them.”
Beginning his remarks, the #Louisiana solicitor general opened with the suppositions of what he called a “stereotyping system” that assumes one #Black voter would vote like another.
@AlliFlowers I ask once again, can a future sane president rescind or revoke awards that debase the Presidential Medal of Freedom?
New in PN: The 1,287,923 defects in the Comey case ... so far

The Black Panther Party was founded #OnThisDay in 1966.
From a 2016 article commemorating its 50th anniversary:
"The work of the Black Panthers remains important for several reasons. First, they remind us that the problem of police brutality has long been with us [...]
Second, the BPP offers a good model of grassroots activism and ideology in practice."

NPR reported in 2024 that Trump’s circle allegedly urged Netanyahu not to finalize Biden’s ceasefire proposal— to wait so Trump could claim it after his election victory. Netanyahu, facing criminal prosecution at home and needing Trump’s political cover, agreed. The framework sat on the table gathering dust while the political calendar aligned for Trump’s preferred timing.
The cost of that delay: approximately 20,000 additional Palestinian deaths.
#Louisiana appealed to #SCOTUS but
eventually added a second majority Black district after the justices’ 5-4 ruling in 2023 that found a likely violation of the #VotingRightsAct in a similar case over Alabama’s congressional map.
#JohnRoberts & Justice Brett #Kavanaugh joined their 3 more liberal colleagues in the #Alabama outcome. Roberts rejected what he described as “Alabama’s attempt to remake our section 2 jurisprudence anew.”
