Mendez v. Westminster: The Pioneering Case That Ended School Segregation Discover how Mendez v. Westminster (1947) challenged school segregation, set the stage for Brown v. Board of Education, and continues to influence civil rights and education today.

Mendez v Westminster (1947) is a landmark federal (SD CA and 9th CC) case desegregating Calif public schools, pre-Brown v Board, and which influenced Thurgood Marshall's strategy in Brown (he also wrote a brief in support). It attacked White/Mexican segregation. blog.counselstack.com/mendez-v-wes...

Who’s running this country: Donald Trump or Elon Musk? Since day one, Elon has created chaos and confusion and put our livelihoods at risk. And he is accountable to no one but himself. The Constitution only allows for one president at a time. Call Your Senators and tell them it’s time Donald Trump fire Elon Musk

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk.

Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️

"Won't someone think of the poor farmers?" Nope, farmers didn't care when Trump threatened groups of people up and down the food chain and farmers still voted for him. So, no, farmers can think of themselves, how about that?

Life goal. Have a partner who looks at you the way that Melania looks at Justin.

I cancelled my subscription, after being with them since the 1990s, when they decided to pull the Harris endorsement. Life has continued as before, without any diminishment in quality. Fuck the LAT.

Dear America,

Why on earth was no one nominated for the pending Jordan vacancy on the 3rd CC? The Delaware Senators couldn't agree on someone? Sheesh.

I am not interested in anyone who would espouse this point of view. Why did you follow me?

How are 95 of my mutuals following this assclown?

I'm not sure we should only blame Ossoff. Yes, he's on the SJC. But he may have gotten wind of a lack of support in the caucus, which would've meant sticking his neck out for a lost cause.

So, Braun has thrown in the towel for the remainder of the year?

True, but under Biden, the Dems disregarded non-return of blue slips for circuit court nominees from red state senators as well (e.g., Ritz and Mathis from 6th CC, Park from 4th CC).

This could drag out all night. At least they'll finally earn their keep.

Love being among this group, thanks!!

Good to see your familiar face here, BDD.

Trump does not control the Senate Executive Calendar or scheduling of Senate Floor votes. The GOP is limited in its ability to implement this kind of blockade. Further, the GOP was confirming judges through December 2020, after Biden and the Dems would be taking over (but had not yet done so).

Maybe there can be a Chicago starter pack. That would help!

There's block lists? *swoon*

I only had two of these in my "following" list. Thanks for putting this together.

Time to bring this out of storage.
