#ResistanceRoots Frances Mary Albrier was born on this day in 1898 in Mount Vernon, N.Y. She was a civil rights activist, labor organizer and political leader who spent almost 60 years fighting for racial and gender equality, breaking political and professional barriers for Black women. /1
Frances Mary Albrier wearing a Red Cross uniform, ca. 1942. Albrier built a towering legacy as an architect of the West Coast civil rights and labor infrastructure. Over nearly six decades, her relentless advocacy reshaped the social, economic and political landscape of the San Francisco Bay Area. She shattered professional color lines, integrated West Coast education and became a pioneering political representative. Long before the term existed, Albrier lived intersectionality, championing the rights of Black Americans, women, workers, senior citizens and global communities. Her legacy was built on a practical philosophy: She transformed ordinary taxpayers into an organized political force, proving that systemic barriers only stand until someone determines to break them. By the time she died in 1987, she had seen the Ast Bay transform from a highly segregated wartime hub into one of the most diverse political landscapes in America.

The Eighth Circuit has ordered the district court to reinstate Missouri’s 2025 congressional map. But before folks freak out, it also ordered that court to pause such a ruling for long enough that the challengers can (and will) seek further review from #SCOTUS: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...
To allow for appellate review, the district court should administratively stay its permanent injunction until September 28, 2026, at 5 p.m. Central Daylight Time. Without any stay, Secretary Hoskins and local election authorities would be required to immediately begin implementing the 2025 map before the Supreme Court receives or decides any appeal. And without a limit to the stay, PNP could wait to file its petition for a writ of certiorari until the December 21, 2026, due date, see
SUP. CT. R. 13.1, thus preventing the Supreme Court from considering the merits of this case until after Missouri has conducted the November 2026 general election. The mandate shall issue forthwith
