July 3 is #EmancipationDay in the U.S. Virgin Islands. 
 
On this day 174 years ago, in what was then the Danish West Indies, thousands of enslaved people led by their leader General Buddhoe rose up to end slavery on St. Croix. (1/7)

Summary
FDR did NOT whip the Court into submission
Only 1 justice allegedly switched sides, but he was a moderate and had sided with liberals before
The Court didn't invalidate the SSA, but its doctrine could justify doing so
FDR appointed 8 justices – and THIS altered the Court

Russian Revolution would never happen the way it happened, unless the Tsar:

1. Forcibly put the millions of peasants into movement
2. Gave them arms

Sociopolitical peace of the empire relied on peasants staying where they are. Once this changed, empire spiralled into the chaos

Next year in NC:

1) Our state legislature will convene.

2) The GOP will pass a bill banning abortion.

3) The Governor will veto it.

4) A veto override vote will be held.

5) Either Dems will have enough members to sustain the veto, or not.

Those are the stakes this November.
