The DOJ was created to increase the capacity for federal prosecutions during Reconstruction esp. those to be brought under the newly enacted KuKlux Klan Act.

Now the DOJ is being used to prosecute a storied civil rights organization whose central mission has been to expose & dismantle the Klan.

Post image When women exercise agency in their romantic lives by choosing to leave partners who no longer fulfill their desires, that choice is frequently a deadly one. The United States has a growing problem with femicide, a phenomenon that scholars had previously been more apt to attribute to lesser-developed countries than western industrial nations. A rise in femicide is the predictable outcome in a country hell-bent on turning back the clock on women’s rights, especially in the Deep South. Black femicide is at crisis levels with Black female victims dying at four times the rate of white women.
So do not fall for the simple “mental health” narrative. Men who kill their wives and children are not just bad apples who needed a free month of BetterHelp.

if you followed me on twitter, if you know me personally, you know how repetitive I am about the words: when you say mass shootings are about mental health, you’re doing the NRA’s work for them

very good article that gets it right

Easy access to guns makes domestic violence especially deadly. We cannot continue to accept a reality where children’s lives are cut short by preventable acts of gun violence.

School Vouchers Are What We Thought They Were The nascent "freedom accounts" program is, predictably, burdened by Republicans’ insistence on religious discrimination—and likely set to benefit those already outside the public school system.

School voucher programs are ideally suited to set up for religious discrimination great job everyone.
