We should be trying to increase access to voting, not reduce it. Drop boxes have proven to be a safe and secure way to make voting easier for all Americans. Sadly, Georgia's changes to their voting laws will likely make boxes less accessible to some. npr.org/2022/07/27/111248731…
Roe and Casey are overturned but they're not stopping there. Thomas wants the Court to reconsider Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell as well (pg. 119)... supremecourt.gov/opinions/21…

No ⁦⁦@nytimes⁩, “arming teachers” is not a “debate” that has “resurfaced.” It is a perverse right-wing taking point.

Actually, I would say the gravest, most unforgivable sin is taking bodily autonomy away from every woman who happens to live in a red state...

It’s impossible to overstate the earthquake this will cause inside the Court, in terms of the destruction of trust among the Justices and staff. This leak is the gravest, most unforgivable sin.

This is great piece from @AAlbaladejo and @capitalandmain on the failure of the Biden administration to live up to its promises on immigration policy: capitalandmain.com/biden-pro…

Biden Promised to Protect Sanctuary Cities. So Why is ICE Still Partnering With Local Cops?

Despite campaign promises, Biden hasn’t slowed down Trump’s 'main engine of deportation.'
