The 1973 Roe decision was decided 7-2 and written by a Nixon appointee. The 1987 Casey decision upholding Roe was written by a Reagan appointee on a Court w/ 8 justices appointed by GOP presidents.
Rejecting Roe as “egregiously wrong” 50 yrs later = a radical, political act.

So sorry I missed this. The Forum on Outreach and Engaging the Public in the APS organized the 1st ever PHYSICS FIESTA! At a Chicago HS, it featured speakers who discuss their unconventional paths in STEM, Star Wars themed Physics demos, a Latin Jazz band (!), and FOOD TRUCKS!!!

That time I got to tell my hero she was my hero and she clapped and then the Geena Davis institute studied how she was a hero to a lot of people. #IDWGS2022 youtu.be/OLRxFJP1GNA?t=68

I know everyone counting ballots is working non stop but I’m wondering if we could bring in the check out people at ALDI as the closers for this.
