http://calendar.eji.org/racial-injustice/jul/16 “Under Virginia law at that time, racial segregation was mandatory on state-sponsored transportation. Ms. Morgan insisted that her presence on an interstate bus meant that Virginia law did not apply, and she refused to be removed from her seat. Police physically dragged the young Black woman from the bus, held her in the Saluda City Jail, and convicted her of violating the state segregation law.”

“Ms. Morgan appealed her conviction and, in March 1946, civil rights lawyers Thurgood Marshall and William H. Hastle argued her case before the U.S. Supreme Court. Less than three months later, in Morgan v. Commonwealth of Virginia, the Court reversed Ms. Morgan’s conviction, and held that state segregation laws were unconstitutional as applied to interstate bus travel.” #BetYouDidntKnow.

Estonia's Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur has stated that in order to be prepared for a potential conflict, the country will be increasing its defense spending to 3 percent of GDP and will be purchasing more than 1.2 billion euros worth of ammunition over the next four years. This decision has been made in light of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, which has highlighted the need for increased defense capabilities.

@Huntn00 Exactly. No one knows. None of this has ever made any business sense.

@Huntn00 @breadandcircuses even a couple of million is too many to work together. Cooperative communities tend to scale to about 150 before breaking down, it's human nature. Best policy is to live and let live.

@Huntn00 @breadandcircuses all of the isms do

I have zero patience for “no change” traditionalists in this space. the one thing standing between us and a whole lotta hurt is people practicing fact checking, professional thoughtfulness, and journalistic rigor at scale and everywhere.

yes we need to be able to text search public posts, quote toot, and increase ease for users. sorry there is no room for viewing fedi as your private hobby, the world needs fedi to work well for journalists and organizers

Once again, @SenRonJohnson is ready to throw those on #SocialSecurity under his limo's wheels.

Rant.

The more women assert their independence and strength, the bigger the pushback. It's always been that way. We are criticized more and more harshly for things that men are excused and praised for. We break barriers, and the pushback is often personal and cruel, even from our own families. You know what? That makes me just want to push back more. Call me too old, too independent, too whatever. I don't care. I'll be 100 and still feel this way. Enough already.

Thanks for listening. Carry on
