This Now This clip shows Dem U.S. House Rep AOC speaking out against Repug Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and his monstrous anti-abortion law, which (as noted yesterday) is being challenged by the Biden DOJ and AG Merrick Garland (from the same fetid ideological pit of right-wing garbage as former Repug U.S. Senator from Missouri Todd Akin’s comments about “legitimate rape” here)...
...and I have to admit that I didn’t know that the Department of Education apparently has its own civil rights division, which is notifying some states that their prohibitions on masks are restricting access from students with disabilities (for public schools I believe)...Sam, Emma and Nomiki Konst of The Majority Report tell us more...
...and sticking with education, this More Perfect Union clip tells us about the effort to get rid of progressive school board members in Prince George County, MD (and no, I’m not letting the Dems off the hook for this one - more here)...
...and this clip from The Damage Report with John and Ben Dixon tells us that Kellyanne Conjob, Spicer and others from the Trump regime got kicked off some military advisory boards now overseen by the Biden Administration, and the subsequent whining and caterwauling from the usual suspects that followed – womp womp...
...and with the focus on the Texas garbage anti-abortion law, it’s a temptation I know to lose track of the Texas garbage anti-voting law, but fortunately, Rachel Maddow reports on that here and interviews attorney Marc Elias who is fighting this legislation and similar awfulness across the country...
...and this great Second Thought video explodes the mythology a bit when it comes to “the self-made billionaire”...
...and Thom Hartmann reminds us that yesterday was the 50th anniversary of the Attica prison riot, and he discusses our ongoing legacy of oppressing people of color and those in high crime neighborhoods as well as some in our corrections system – not saying they shouldn’t be punished as prescribed by a sentence handed down by a judge in a court of law, but just arguing for a little sanity for those who’ve done their time and want to/are able to make a good faith effort to start over...the ’71 riot was the subject of a great HBO movie called Against The Wall...
...and I know I’m overdue again for a new tune, and I hope this will suffice; hang around for the big finish, OK?
