Them They / She Her Just trying to keep up. I don't practice speciesism. I know very little but love a lot and I'm rooting for the underdog.
Reverend Jesse Jackson was a trailblazer and a fighter.
I had the privilege of speaking with him about his vision for a fairer, more equal and just country.
He has given a generation of leaders hope that we can and should keep fighting for that vision.
He will be missed.
Also, Jesse Jackson loudly stood up for gay people at a very serious moment when hate and fear against us was at its peak in the AIDS crisis. This was a real risk but the right thing to do. And it’s a reason I despise modern Democrats who waffle and hedge on trans rights. BE MORE JESSE JACKSON ⭐

He also ended the show w/one of the sickest burns ever directed at Duke: "You're not even a legitimate Klansman"

When disease was controlled, we decoupled it from the military. That let us forget that infectious diseases threaten national security. We're about to learn why.

The rule of law depends on good faith compliance; judges can't effectively monitor and respond to every betrayal of the government's obligations under the Constitution and the law.
As others have noted, judges are going to have to start holding people in contempt or things will get even worse.
