The #SCOTUS conservatives used a case literally based on a homophobe’s fantasies to blow a huge hole in our antidiscrimination laws and revive the spirit of Plessy v. Ferguson. #LawFedi https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/supreme-court-303-creative-decision-mystal/
The Supreme Court Has Kicked the Door Wide Open to Jim Crow–Style Bigotry

The court's conservatives used a case literally based on a homophobe’s fantasies to blow a huge hole in our antidiscrimination laws and revive the spirit of Plessy v. Ferguson.

“The refusal to act [to ban assault rifles] is suicidal and perhaps the grimmest expression of our representative government’s failure to support the will of the majority, serve the common good—and respond to the heartbreak and lifelong trauma that survivors and victims’ families and friends must endure.”

TN GOP just expelled Rep Justin Jones for peacefully demanding gun reform.

Jones reminded that the GOP refused to expel Republicans who molested children, abused women, are under federal investigation, & urinated in the chamber. GOP expelled him anyway.

The danger is beyond MAGA expelling Democrats for the "crime" of demanding accountability for gun violence. It's that if this injustice goes unchecked, MAGAs nationwide will do the exact same. This is how fascism & single party rule takes hold.

A spirited speech. Some disappointments but not bad at all! #sotu
