America is historically not great at listening to Black women.

The only member of the Supreme Court who is capable of communicating succinctly, without the air of “listen to me, cuz robes,”.
Of course we aren’t.

No. If we were paying attention we’d be in the streets.
But sadly our descent into fascism will be met with yawns.

Yes. Unfortunately, your court doesn’t, which is part of the reason the president is able to run amok with power.

The thing that stopped the Nazis was another country winning a war against them.

Kudos to this author for a well written and researched piece. Reading this made me remember what real reporting used to be like.

Remember, our Justices are non-partisan. /s

I’ll listen once she defines the term “woman”, even if she isn’t a biologist.

ALL of this was preventable. Activists will always have an adversarial relationship with the government. But thanks to voting & elections, activists can pick their “opponent”.
But some made their choice. They worked harder to sink Harris than to stop Trump, which ensured they’ll face Trump as their final opponent.
Now Trump’s back in office, and what do we hear? Silence.
Sorry but the no kings protests are the not same intense energy as the protests that Biden/Harris had to deal with last year.
Surely, any day now, they’ll bring the same intensity against Trump that they unleashed on Biden and Harris.
Even worse, they turned into “Do something” screechers demanding that Democrats save them. But the screeches to “do something” ring absolutely hollow, when the very same Voters worked their hardest to kick Democrats out of Congress and Presidency.
There is a direct & unbreakable relationship between not voting for Democrats = GOP winning = Democrats not having power.
The solution is obvious: support and vote for Democrats, now and forever without exception (for at least 50 years)

Wasn’t she appointed because she checked a box rather than her actual qualifications

I feel like I’m missing something with this sub. I never see a link to an article on posts like this. How do I find the article?

Nope. At least not enough of us. We still have a lot of citizens thinking this will just work itself out.

If we didn’t listen to Biden when he warned us. Why would we listen to a black woman now?

Was it about ethics for the court that they all shot down?

It’s hard to miss the dual state danger and the shadow docket.

What’s the point of listening to someone who can’t tell the diference between a man and a woman in front of congress?

ICE is spiriting away African Americans to Uganda under their new deal. They started with criminals but I bet the ones snatched from the latest chicago building raid are also sent there.

Republicans aren’t going to be shocked and horrified that they’re doing evil with references to Nazi Germany. They know what they’re doing and they like doing it.

I mean, I read all of her dissents. She’s not “trying”; she’s putting it all on front street, and it’s refreshing.

those of us who don’t like living with our heads buried in the sand are listening. the rest who don’t just can’t imagine listening to a black woman 😒

Amy Conan Barrett’s majority opinion was laughable. Girl go please sit down. Your conservative colleague gave the green light for a federal agency to stop and arrest people based on their skin color, and then had the nerve to say “Well it’s not an inconvenience for them so…🤷🏾♀️”. You also lied during your confirmation hearing! Take several seats sis.
