How worried should we be about the extreme right-wing bloc of the Supreme Court? Very worried, says Dahlia Lithwick. ⁣ ⁣ But the fight to protect Americans' civil rights must continue—as Sherrilyn Ifill says, it's democracy maintenance. ⁣ ⁣ Join me and these two brilliant legal minds for conversations that will educate and empower you. This week's You And Me Both is available wherever you get your podcasts.

Marching across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Alabama in 2019 with excellent company—@corybooker and @revjjackson—to mark the anniversary of Bloody Sunday. ⁣ ⁣ On this day in 1965, civil rights activists marching for the right to vote were beaten and tear gassed.⁣ ⁣ Yesterday, @KamalaHarris walked across the bridge as the first woman and the first Black person to be vice president. ⁣ ⁣ She said of our ongoing fight for voting rights:⁣ ⁣ "In a moment of great uncertainty, those marchers pressed forward and they crossed."⁣ ⁣ "We must do the same. We must lock our arms and march forward. We will not let setbacks stop us."

We need a strong democracy in the US to win the global fight against autocracy. And the hard truth is that if Republicans won’t stand up to Trump, they can’t stand up to Putin or Xi. Read my new piece in @TheAtlantic on democracy’s state of emergency—link in my profile.

We all have an important choice to make this fall, because the Republican agenda is clear.⁣ ⁣ Republicans will take away tax cuts like the Child Tax Credit from hard-working families and give them to billionaires.⁣ ⁣ Republicans will claim they’re on the side of parents and family values. But they will do nothing for actual parents or families—nothing on child care, nothing on paid leave, nothing to help working moms and dads get by and get ahead.⁣ ⁣ They will do nothing to invest in our schools or make college more affordable.⁣ ⁣ They’ll ban books but do nothing about guns.⁣ ⁣ They’ll make it harder for people to vote but easier for big corporations to bust unions.⁣ ⁣ They’ll let polluters trash our environment and let Donald Trump trash our democracy.⁣ ⁣ That’s why I intend to work my heart out to elect Democrats up and down the ticket this November. I hope you'll join me.
