Hoping the promise of discourse without animus holds true. Perhaps a bit carried away with Starter Packs, like a kid in a candy shop, so many lists to choose from to expand my exposure to new ideas!

There is something deeply pathological about Chief Justice Roberts insisting the Supreme Court isn’t political while sitting atop the most ideological supermajority in modern history.
Chief Justice John Roberts says Supreme Court is not political
Chief Justice John Roberts says Supreme Court justices are not “political actors.” He says justices are making decisions based on the law, not their personal policy preferences.

Nobody gave women anything.
Women fought, marched, strategized, endured violence, went to prison and died for it.
