Pauli Murray Set the Blueprint for Civil Rights and Gender Equality
From dismantling βJane Crowβ laws to advancing the rights of protesters, Murrayβs legacy inspires todayβs activism for racial justice and gender equality at the ACLU.
One of the greatest legal minds of the 20th century and a member of the ACLU board of directors starting in 1965, Pauli Murray played a key role in turning our organizationβs attention to gender inequality.
We honor them this Women's History Month.

If there were credible allegations against a Democratic president that he had punched a 13 yr old girl in the face after she bit his penis while he was raping her, Fox would be running that shit on a loop 24/7 and calling for his arrest/execution let alone his impeachment.

re the womanizing, my doomer take is that so long as isnβt too gratuitous, openly demonstrating your willingness to sexually violate women is an electoral plus among most non-queer people and a lot of βmasculineβ gay men

Sanchez: Women's rights should never be used as a pretext for launching wars that serve other interests. If we truly believe in the freedom of Iranian women, the response cannot be more violence. It must be more diplomacy, more support, and more international law.

Israel has been continuously bombing Lebanon almost every day for over a year. Anyone who tells you βHezbollah broke the ceasefireβ is either lying to you, or is just so incredibly biased that their brain genuinely doesnβt register Israeli bombings of Lebanon as ceasefire violations.

But not really tho. Politics is about power and if you do everything u can to allow the Right to consolidate power.. the law wonβt matter because you can coerce people through extralegal activities. If anything putting undeserved trust in βthe Constitutionβ is why weβre in this shithole
