I also salute her. So galling to see the blatant hypocrisy of pearl clutching among those who accuse Jackson of bending norms, while the majority of the Court allows tyranny to rise.
So true. So many others, the tens of thousands in government jobs, need to do exactly as she is doing, to speak out and speak truth to power - to disobey illegal or immoral orders.
Reminder, July 17 is the date of the next nationwide protest; Good Trouble Live On. Go to 50501.com to find an event in your community. We will be attending in Katy, TX.
Universities have become hotbeds of utter bullshit. Remember how they pilloried the basketweaving classes of the hippie era? At least baskets are useful.
Sociology of Miley Cyrus, anyone? That's Skidmore.
And most of the money goes to useless bureaucrats with sinecures.
Since when has the left become all about defending the status quo?
If you don't like what Trump is doing in this regard, tell us what is *your* plan!
Trump Guts and Dismantles, and Justice Jackson Speaks Out! I wonder how the Notorious RBG would respond to the current debacle, with a packed court of handpicked "pet" justices who, by all appearances, are there only to smooth the path for Dear Leader. It infuriated me that Barrett scolded Jackson, but I suppose it was because Barrett and the Gang of Six don't like Jackson speaking publicly, but sorry, if ever there was a time in our entire industry when truth needed to speak publicly to power, this time would be it.
wave the flag for Justice Jackson! I hope she will continue to speak out. I feel esp. concerned just now with what is happening to the State Department. we saw this in the first Trump administration- so many experienced people gone. our ambassadors are so important in keeping America in touch with the world. maybe this is why Trump does this. no end to his destructive meanness.
Justice Jackson has discovered the loneliness of leadership..those of us who worked in mamnagement know it well! It's painful, but rewarding...she is a national treasure!
I stand by what I've always said: he's not here to make america great again, but, as you've said, to dismantle it. He touts himself as the savior (Jesus must be cringing), and what has he saved? He promised us heaven and has given us war, chaos, financial ruin, firings, hatred, fear, uncertainty, a loss of our allies, the ruining of the esteem we were formerly held in....not heaven, but hell. And God bless Justice Jackson.
I am struck by the fact that you don't hear so much about how this is God's punishment. (I don't believe in God so I don't subscribe to that view.) Nevertheless, you wonder how the religious right likes their mini-taste of the apocalypse and why they're not speculating about whose to blame. Although I did hear some mention that the Dems or Biden had controlled the weather and caused the floods. If the Dems can control the weather, maybe Texans would be safer if THEY were in charge.
Hurray for Justice Jackson! I hope she joins us in 17 July. Heather Cox Richardson's short (7:30min) video "Why Do We Protest in America? How we Should Protest?" She clarifies how and why protests can be successful. Also, lease visit the link below. Carrie Speranza is U.S. president of the International Association of Emergency Managers. She said recently, "Emergency Managers, if you haven’t begun mobilizing your programs to operate in a world without FEMA, here’s your next Playbook."

She shows us all what proper leaders do. She's a highly educated, well-trained, and thoroughly experienced professional. It's important for us all to compare her brief plan with the plans of our Executive Branch amateurs.
There needs to be rigorous sociological studies of media - all its forms and all its aspects. The webscape now hosts the largest conglomeration of cross-communicating people in the last 14 billion years. It expresses societies' views, thus changing them, and then shares the new views back again. Ad nauseum. Youngsters especially need to understand the social impact of The Media.
Great decision to bring Justice jJackson forward. We need her wisdom and her strength. Once again, women of color remain vital to our democracy (Joined by men of color and yes whites as well). We must build pathways of justice and connect with each other. We must reach to the white working class that sees clearly the myriad trump dangers. We are not MAGA.

Coined by civil rights leader Congressman John Lewis, "Good Trouble" is the action of coming together to take peaceful, non-violent action to challenge injustice and create meaningful change.

I also found "pearl clutching" in my research. ;-)

Besides all the other catastrophes the president is inflicting, how ironic in our age of global warming he should invest the most money in ICE.

quick thought-wish we could exchange Justice Amy for Rosie O'Donnell.

“…..if you haven’t begun mobilizing your programs to operate in a world without FEMA…”.
Terrifying heinous sentence I never could have imagined seeing in print.
From Paris on Bastille Day.
Yes, terrifying.
Worst of the worst (WOW).
Hurray! Hurray! Bastille Day!
Maybe we'll have one, too. someday!
