A majority of House Democrats voted against full enfranchisement today, voted against everyone having a voice in the system that governs all of us.

Here's @jerryiannelli on today's full enfranchisement vote, including comments from @RepCori and @RepMondaire: theappeal.org/politicalrepor… Image
This is wild. Ro Khanna voted YES ... but then basically tweeted that he doesn’t actually support the entire point of the amendment.
Meanwhile, in the opposite direction, Seth Moulton said he supported full enfranchisement during last year’s primary, but voted NO today.

One or more #SCOTUS opinions in argued cases coming this morning, starting in 5 minutes.
In today’s first opinion, in US Fish and Wildlife Service v. Sierra Club, #SCOTUS limits FOIA by broadly reading an exception to the public records law. 7-2 opinion by Barrett. Breyer, joined by Sotomayor, dissents. supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf… Image
The final #SCOTUS decision today makes deporting certain undocumented immigrants easier by ruling that the immigrant and not the govt bears the burden of proving that they have not been convicted of a crime that prevents “cancellation of removal.” The 5-3 opinion is by Gorsuch.

They’re just doing whatever the hell they want, and I love it? #GoldenGlobes
We had our first, “I’m sorry. You’re on mute,” of the night.
Daniel Kaluuya was incredible in this. I did love this piece, however, about the ages of the actors in biopics like this: mashable.com/article/judas-…

I was standing in Dupont Circle on Super Tuesday, waiting on a friend, when I read the NYT story about a lawyer who had a college-aged child in Manhattan. I called another friend, and was like, “So, we’re past containment, right?”
This weekend, a year ago, I was doing my “stock-up shopping” that really hit DC in the weeks that followed — mainly because I needed to stock up on a lot because I didn’t really spend much time at home during the day before all of this.
A friend told me to have enough for two weeks, in case I got sick and needed to stay home or if there was an outbreak in my area and I wanted to not need to go to the grocery store during that time.

At some point in the past 24 hours, I went from being happy for anyone getting the vaccine to wanting to see medical/occupational documentation explaining why any non-medical provider under 65 is posting about getting the vaccine.
I know it’s not healthy thinking for me, as I know there are many reasons why people are getting the vaccine under their jurisdiction’s policies and, regardless, it’s not any of my business, but that’s where I am at after a year of this — and I know I’m not alone.
I’d love to read something from the smart people who have been writing their way — and our way — through this pandemic about this! Tell me how to deal with these feelings in a compassionate way that will keep me sane!

It’s almost like people who were primarily attracted to the opposite sex used to hide their bisexuality. And it’s almost like identifying as trans is still dangerous for many people but much more acceptable in some groups, hence likely to result in higher identification.
There’s so much wrong with his thread that it’s really hard to know where to start. But, I’ll at least say that “hetero-appearing” is a completely inaccurate way of describing lives that he knows nothing about. It’s 1980s biphobia with a 2020s twist.
And that doesn’t even get to the full TERF-y anti-trans parts that follow.
