The suggestion here is some sort of moral or intellectual equivalence between the use of tax dollars to accept people you don’t like, and the use of tax dollars to ban people you don’t like.
There’s nothing sophisticated here. Segregationists used this false parity 70 years ago.

1/ I have a BIG new story to share with you.
It’s about LEONARD LEO, the man who’s been called the “hidden architect” of the Supreme Court’s conservative majority.
Our investigation goes deeper, and reveals more, than any story about Leo.
It's 🧵 time…
Make it a point to read the things censors say you shouldn’t. That’s what I’ve been doing the last few days to mark Banned Books Week. Today: The 1619 Project, created by Nikole Hannah-Jones.
Meet Tim Dunn & Farris Wilks—two billionaires from West Texas.
They bought Paxton’s acquittal for $3 million. Now they’re pushing a private school voucher scam.
Their ultimate goal is even more ambitious: transforming Texas into an authoritarian, Christian Nationalist state. 🧵
I can’t think of a better way to observe Banned Books Week than by reading excerpts from banned books. Today: Ruby Bridges Goes to School, by the civil rights icon herself, Ruby Bridges.

The really bad news?
There are 100s of legislators as extreme as Gaetz.
They are in gerrymandered majorities in states. The right’s front line.
They are passing extreme law after extreme law. Directly attack democracy.
And almost nobody is paying any attention to them.

My org @youngblklawyers is calling for the abolishment of a US Senate practice called the “blue slip” — a Jim Crow era relic that was used then and, if we’re not vigilant, will be used now as a tool of hard-right senators to block pro-civil rights judicial nominees in the South.
#APTeacherWeek starts today. Educators, our first two sessions on AP Classroom are now available to watch on-demand.
