Charging Courtney Williams under the 1917 Espionage Act for speaking to journalist Seth Harp about alleged harassment at Fort Bragg is deeply wrong. Punishing those who speak out undermines truth and justice. #CivilRights #Whistleblowers #NorthCarolina #SethHarp #CourtneyWilliams #1917EspionageAct

A large portrait of Irene Morgan, an older Black woman with short, dark hair, wearing a light-colored blazer and a white blouse with a bow. In the bottom left corner, a smaller inset photo shows a younger Morgan from the 1940s with styled hair, leaning her chin on her hand and wearing a dark sweater and necklace.
A vintage newspaper clipping headlined "Morgan Vs. State of Virginia" and "Case to be Supreme Court Hot Potato." The center of the article features a black-and-white photograph of a young Irene Morgan, a Black woman with dark, styled hair, looking slightly to the side with a faint smile. She is wearing a patterned jacket over a dark top. The surrounding columns of text detail her legal battle against segregated seating on interstate buses, which led to the landmark 1946 Supreme Court ruling. The paper appears aged with visible fold lines and some handwritten notes at the top.
Irene Morgan (b. #OTD in 1917) was a seminal figure in the early #CivilRights movement.
She refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus in 1944. Her case, 𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯 𝘷. 𝘝𝘪𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘢 (1946), led the US Supreme Court to strike down segregation on interstate travel, paving the way for the Freedom Rides.

The sharply conservative Supreme Court that President Donald #Trump’s 3 "conservative" appointees remade is the first since at least the 1950s to reject #civilrights claims in a majority of cases involving women and minorities, according to a detailed analysis conducted for The Washington Post.
One of the most notable findings of the analysis was the court’s shift on civil rights, Epstein & Nelson said. Since the 3 #Trump appointees joined the court, the share of cases won by the side advocating an expansion of #CivilRights fell to 44%.
In all the other time periods going back to the […]

In addition to #CivilRights, the court powered by #Trump’s picks — Justices Neil M. #Gorsuch, Brett M. #Kavanaugh & #AmyConeyBarrett — has pushed to the right of any modern court on #religious rights & #voting issues.
The court has also entered a new era of extreme #partisanship. None over the […]

🚨⚖️ The rules have changed at the Supreme Court
Civil rights claims are now more likely to fall short than win
At the same time, religious claims succeed nearly 98%
This is already changing who wins and who loses

A judge told Crystal Harris she had to pay her rapist $1,000/mo in alimony. He called it “the law.”
She called it wrong—and changed it.

Supreme Court's expansion of “reasonable suspicion" pushes ICE from worksites into rural areas and movement corridors, raising stop risks and destabilizing immigrant-dependent towns. #Trump #ICE #Immigration #RuralAmerica #Meatpacking #Labor #CivilRights #InvestigateMidwest

This is a really well made video by Rowan Ellis on YouTube, about how moral panics centered around scapegoating work, and how trans people became the current bogeyman to scare people into not questioning increasingly draconian laws.

“All children can succeed. No exceptions.” The Kids at Hope initiative proved it — fewer suspensions, more access, better outcomes.
Civil rights starts in the classroom. Been fighting that fight for years.
