The United States Supreme Court has rejected Donald Trump’s second attempt to reverse a jury’s verdict finding him liable for sexual abuse and defamation of E. Jean Carroll.

Incredible news 👏

Right-wingers want you to forget about slavery, Jim Crow, redlining, and lynchings but they’ll use 9/11 as an Islamophobic weapon and justification for attacking Arab countries. Right-wing Christians have killed far more people over the past 5 centuries than Muslims have.

One more reason why Paxton is not the right choice!

Pastor Alvin Christian (yes, even his name is "Christian"), said in a since-deleted but archived Facebook Live Video that he was refusing to accept food from organizations he had decided were "part of the gay rights movement," while panning the camera over empty shelves and explaining why the food pantry hasn't had anything to distribute recently. The pantry in question, God's Store House Food Bank of Bluefield, West Virginia, had apparently been serving more than 800 families on a daily basis. Now he has nothing to distribute to those people, not because he can't access it, but because he believes the evil taint of LGBTQ apparently ruins boxes of cereal or cans of baked beans.

Ladies, Stand Up, Stand Tall and Show Up. Make sure you know that you're registered and that you know your polling location we need to turn out !!

Serious conversation as we start yet another month of this dystopian world we seem to be enduring......What can we the people do? What are we the people doing to get out of this mess ? Are you registered to vote? Are you involved? The world is watching, what are you willing to do to protect your children and grandchildren?

I have a little bit of a personal connection to this story, as the mother of a good friend of mine was in the tower that day. She was a student worker in the library. When they heard the first shots they assumed it was someone jumping from the tower (she said it so casually too "Oh, we just thought it was another jumper"). They figured it was the sound of a body hitting the ground. Moments later they were told there was a shooter in the tower.

She and her co-workers, except for one who had taken her lunch break, barricaded the door, thinking the gunman was killing people in the tower (no cell phones, news traveled only by word of mouth, and was often not quite right). Her father arrived part way through the shooting and couldn't figure out why she wasn't at the spot where he normally picked her up. Someone screamed at him to get down, a bit later someone behind him was killed.

When the shooting finally stopped it took APD a couple of minutes to convince my friend's mom and the other library staff that it was safe to come out.

The co-worker who was at lunch was 21 year old Nancy Harvey. Nancy who was "visibly pregnant" was among the wounded, shot roughly 100 yards from the tower. Thankfully both Nancy and her child survived.
