Did you know Giving Tuesday got started, back in 2012, explicitly to fight against the commercial corruption of Thanksgiving with its Black Friday and Cyber Monday? That’s awesome! And what better way to mark the day than with a Giving Tuesday donation to Mother Jones that will help fight corruption of all sorts, day in and day out. Our finances are rough right now and we could really use a Giving Tuesday boost. Please help us make the most of this heightened day of giving if you can right now.

Trailblazing Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died at 87. The liberal feminist icon made history by becoming the second woman to ever serve on the Supreme Court, to which she was nominated by President Bill Clinton in 1993. Before that, President Jimmy Carter nominated her to a 13-year tenure on the D.C. Circuit in 1980. Throughout her career, she burnished her credentials as a fierce advocate for women’s rights, a reputation she developed while working for the ACLU on landmark gender discrimination cases. This legacy was cemented later, in the Twitter Age, as a symbol of judicial resistance, under the moniker gifted to her by legions of fans, world-wide, for her strident dissents: the Notorious RBG.
Here’s a pictorial look back at some of the defining moments from Bader Ginsburg’s barrier-breaking career.
