by the Supreme Court because Comcast and 45s DOJ want to make an example of him is a far scarier takeaway from that interview. It's excellent and should be required watching for any minority in the US right now. And watch/listen all the way through bc he doesn't get to the case until towards the end.

I can't believe more people aren't talking about the case tbh... doesn't it have implications for not only racial discrimination claims, but even reparations??

Like, it's crazy that there's SO MUCH OTHER fuckshit going on that a repeal of literally the first civil rights statute enacted to protect black people in America doesn't even make news. 45 literally trying to pick up where Andrew Johnson left off in 2019.

A summary of the reconstruction-era law that's at stake:

SCOTUS hearing is Nov. 13
