While the courts blocked the DOJ scheme for now, Congress still must act to bar this dirty deal forever.
This Pride Month let’s resolve to keep defending the civil rights and liberties of our LGBTQIA+ neighbors and of all Americans against authoritarian clampdown. Happy Pride and keep pride in democracy.
