“Our democracy should answer to the people, not the powerful… Buying elections should never be accepted as the new norm in our democracy.”
@repsummerlee.bsky.social

The Supreme Court got it wrong with Citizens United v. FEC. Corporations are not people, and money is not speech. The path to saving our democracy runs through ratifying a Constitutional amendment to overturn this disastrous ruling.

Attacks on due process, rule of law, checks & balances grow louder every day. Democracy can’t defend itself—it needs us. We call on every citizen to stand with us: defend democracy. empower voters. Protect free and fair elections open to all. #DemocracyMatters @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

Dawn Staley says she would have taken Knicks’ coaching job if offered Staley said she believes she "lost the job" when she asked how the franchise would handle hiring the first female head coach in NBA history.

Dawn Staley continues to fight for all of us. 🐐 “If the Knicks would have offered me the job, I would have had to do it. It’s not just for me, it’s for women, for-to break open that. It’s the New York Knicks, and I’m from Philly, but it’s the freakin’ New York Knicks” www.nytimes.com/athletic/657...

Truth!

Organizations send letter to Congress urging rejection of Trump takeover, support for DC statehood - Free Speech For People DC Vote sent a letter signed by 77 organizations to Congress urging members to reject President Donald Trump’s attempted takeover of DC and cosponsor and pass the DC statehood bill instead.

These “agreements” with law firms have had a devastating impact on nonpartisan nonprofits’ ability to fight back. Even firms that don’t have a direct agreement with the Trump Admin are shying away providing services to causes that challenge the current admin and/or its policies.

Congress overturns D.C. crime bill with President Biden's help The Senate approved a GOP-led joint resolution that would overrule the Washington, D.C., city council's recent legislation to rewrite the criminal code for the nation's capital.

And Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer made this all so very easy by attacking home rule. Only 14 Senate Dems stood up to them and the GOP. Stop talking Pete. www.npr.org/2023/03/08/1...

The 9th Circuit Did What?!?! On Thursday, the US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit issued its decision in Valame v. Biden, the case brought by an 18-year-old man, challenging the mandatory draft requirement as a violation of t...

The 9th Circuit Did What?!?! Read about the latest on the Equal Rights Amendment and what comes next. We need your help! wix.to/0WVYeBX

You need to know.

Last week, the 9th Circuit ruled “We reject as meritless Valame’s contention that the Equal Rights Amendment was ratified as the 28th Amendment to the Constitution.” No oral argument or analysis of this serious constitutional question.

Twenty-five years ago, Congress mandated that the U.S. State Department have an office tracking the scope of human trafficking and working to combat it.

Last week, the Trump administration drastically cut that office's staff.

John Yang has more.

Today is #BlackWomensEqualPayDay. Needing to work an extra 6.5 months to earn what their white male counterparts earned last year is not something to celebrate. Today is a day for education - of the real word impact of racial and gender discrimination. Spread the word.

Supreme Court takes up two cases challenging transgender sports bans The West Virginia lawsuit was on behalf of Becky Pepper-Jackson, a transgender middle schooler who was looking to try out for her school's girls cross-country team.

As predicted, SCOTUS, with lightening speed, agrees to hear the issues it punted on in Skrmetti. We have been warning what is coming for years. LISTEN UP! It is going to bad for the trans community. And women are next. Join us in the fight! www.politico.com/news/2025/07...

Thank you!!!! I will be sending you and Biden Publish The ERA something to boost by Monday!!!

YES!!!!!!!! Sports lets up next month. You in town then?

We have much to celebrate today, but we also must acknowledge the challenges we continue to face, particularly given the recent attacks on DEI. We're seeing in real time that until we all are equal, none of us are. So today, we're doubling down on our commitment to racial justice & equality for all.

SCOTUS just issued the Skrmetti decision. As suspected, they affirmed, appling rational basis (lowest standard of review) & ruling the TN gender affirming care ban for minors doesn't violate the Constitution. We will have additional analysis soon. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Not surprising. What is surprising is the outrage from the Dems. Who did nothing for 4 years while Biden blocked and fought against the Equal Rights Amendment just like Trump did and continues to do. Sick of the BS.
