In 1938, kindergarten teacher Helen Hulick wore slacks to court to testify as a witness in Los Angeles, CA. Judge Arthur Guerin was appalled & rescheduled the case, instructing her to “return in a dress.”

The next day, Hulick showed up in slacks again, declaring, “I will stand on my rights…I like slacks. They’re comfortable.”

She was sent to jail. https://web.archive.org/web/20210315143406/https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-11-15/from-the-archives-wear-slacks-to-court-and-go-to-jail #HistoryRemix

From the Archives: Wear slacks to court and go to jail

On Nov. 9, 1938, Helen Hulick, 28, wore slacks during a court appearance to testify against two men. Judge Arthur S. Guerin rescheduled her case, asking Hulick to return wearing a dress.

Just before the election, Right Wing propagandists were trying to accuse @marcelias of being some dirty trickster for, you know, defending democracy.

Now Elias has tricked AZ Republicans into vigorously defending the right to cast a vote and GA election officials in GOP-leaning counties to offer MORE early voting.

What will he think of next?

I see you are eating strawberries with fresh whipped cream. I, too, like fresh whipped cream.
