RIP Virginia Norwood, who developed imaging systems for spacecraft including Lunar Surveyor and LANDSAT.

Even when you win, you lose. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Black man won a $137 million judgement.

Judge cut it to $15 million.

New trial cut it to $3 million.

Which is not enough to cause a centi-billionaire to change his racist practices.

The system gets in the way of justice, instead of upholding it.

When they go after stuff like this....

-- White GOP supermajority leaders of Tennessee state leg file motion to expel 3 Black members who openly supported gun control protesters.

-- White GOP reps in North Carolina state leg file bill to ban government-run athletic events from issuing any kind of participant recognition to children.

...the fascists are openly going after everyone and everything.

This is not democracy. TN voters elected these folks.

Republicans love to harp about how their ideas are “what the founders wanted”. Bullshit. This country was founded by people who believed in the freedom to disagree and protest.

If you’re a Republican not protesting this action yourself, you’re also failing democracy.

"This online forever war we’re in is actually contributing to these deaths....The Buffalo shooter was radicalized by the reaction to Christchurch. Who knows who might be radicalized reading about the hate surrounding Nashville?" https://www.thebulwark.com/school-shootings-and-political-tribalism/

I luv this. Who did this?😂😂😂

A reminder for when you hear "This is the wrong crime to indict Trump for because his supporters will rally around him."

This is a cult.

People didn't reject Jim Jones as the poison Kool-Aid was being handed out. People didn't reject David Koresh while he was molesting kids. There is likely *NO* crime or behavior that will make Trump's followers turn away from him.

It's an identity, not a decision one can be argued away from.

@StillIRise1963 Agree and hope you’re referring to the many on here with lame excuses for staying on #Twitter. There are no acceptable excuses for supporting fascism. None!

@statmonkey How about that? We've learned from Parkland that school guards don't help, from Uvalde that cops don't have to save anyone and Nashville that teachers with guns means nothing. 🙄

@Blanco Fascism is happening. Some of us are aware. Others know and don't care (enough), some don't know and some want it. @No_One

@StillIRise1963 @Blanco @No_One I think a lot of us want to so something, but don't know what to do. Talking online gets the word out, which helps, but what can we actually *do*, right here right now, to fight against it? I'm at a loss.

Trump lawyers : we don't want cameras in the courtroom

Press : why

Trump lawyers : because then people will see what he actually says under oath vs. what he says in the street an hour later

Meanwhile over at the birdsite… those new blue checks are amazing! Lol.

One should do it.

⚠️ Via Sherrilyn Ifill:

This is a VERY SERIOUS situation unfolding in #Nashville. Reps who stood w/their constituents who came to state house to demand #guns safety are facing expulsion from the House. Their Member ID badges have already been turned off. This is how #democracy ends.

Olivia Julianna:

...The Tenn. legis is planning to expel lawmakers who stood w gun control advocates today.

They've been stripped from committee assignments & their member ID’s shut off

THIS IS NOT DEMOCRACY.

Rightwing authoritarianism in action.
