Rosa Parks on Clarence Thomas: "His confirmation to the highest court in the land would not represent a step forward in the road to racial progress but a u-turn on that road. ...His statements on Brown v. Board of Education case..and even on the Roe v. Wade to me indicate

"that he wants to push the clock back. ...The Supreme Court now appears to be turning its back on the undeniable fact of discrimination and exclusion ...I believe that Judge Thomas will accelerate that trend and that will be destructive for our nation.”

Any “climate agreement” is disingenuous and performative if it’s not rooted in the overthrow of capitalism and its concomitant imperialism and warmongering.

The State bill to takeover the Sports Authority passed a committee vote yesterday. It’s surreal that the city is considering issuing $760M in Sports Authority bonds backed by the Metro General Fund while under threat of this takeover. Here’s the summary CMs got yesterday.
