Do you know who this is? A civil rights protester?

No. It’s C.B. King, a civil rights LAWYER who was clubbed over the head by a local sheriff when King arrived at jail to check on his client - a white civil rights protester.He continued his work & influenced a generation.

Lawyers under pressure?

Happy #IWD2025 to all my wonderful feminist friends and colleagues, to women and girls everywhere. It does seem a darkly misogynistic time of backlash these days, but, like our foremothers, we fight on - la lucha continua #feminism #speirgorm

Trump Decried Millions Spent 'Making Mice Transgender.' It Was Cancer and Asthma Research President Trump falsely claimed that Biden spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender,' but the real research was for human health.

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.
