SCOTUS is set to decide a case on sex-based discrimination…they will likely REMOVE EQUAL PROTECTION for #women, girls and #LGBTQIA+ people. Sending us back to the 1800s…unless #Biden publishes the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). @POTUS, make the call now!

The Train’s Left the Station and is Coming Off the Tracks

June 6, 2024. What many don’t realize is that, regardless of the outcome of the 2024 elections or who is in the White House, we likely will have a national abortion ban and women, girls and LGBTQIA+ people will lose 14th Amendment equal protection in 2025. The courts are in control now.Unless, of course, President Biden publishes the Equal Rights Amendment (“ERA”).President Trump blocked the ratified ERA at a time when there was a conservative majority at the US Supreme Court (“SCOTUS”).

Well, people, at this point, things have come down to choosing one of the following: a “Christian” White autocracy or a multicultural mosaic democracy.

I’ve chosen the latter.
You’ve a voice and a choice.
Never fail to use both, wisely.

I'm tired of the "messaging" complaint.

Republicans are unified - because the party and media are controlled by a small number of super wealthy and they have a single goal - expanding that control. Their messaging is constantly adjusting but unified because it is autocracy dictating a message.
