#AlabamasGottenMeSoUpset: Many of the remarkable achievements of the #CivilRights movement were forged in Alabama. Yet today, the #whitesupermajorities that control both houses of Alabama’s #legislature, along with Alabama’s white republican #governor, Kay Ivey, continue to #disenfranchise #Blackvoters.

Investigators allowed those misstatements — and others — to stand, despite having nearly a half-hour’s worth of body #camera footage that disproved them. latest in a string of cases where the FID seemed to ignore #evidence that was potentially damaging to #officers who killed people in the line of duty.

#ClimateDenialism: “The #CleanAirAct reduces #pollution,” he said. “It does not provide a #safehaven for international #corporations to dissemble and #lie about their #products, which is what the #defense’s argument boils down to here.”

In the US, the animal farmers got 800 times more public funding.

End the filibuster. Get shit done. Lots of it. Overwhelming amounts of it. Drown out Ted Cruz pretending he cares about an Xbox power choices (in a state where the power structure needs al the help it can get). Drown out the House maelstrom.

And the filibuster? Basically exclusively used to block human/civil rights laws.
**** the filibuster.

Lewis Act, the Assault Weapon Ban of 2022, and the Equality Act. Contact your Senators and tell them that the time to act is now! #TheNewResistance
