This Supreme Court case in Louisiana is about one thing, and one thing only: reinstituting Jim Crow by way of ensuring that Black Americans are taxed without receiving representation in Congress.

Everything else is noise and bluster.

This stolen Supreme Court is going to send us back to the 1860s.

That’s the least of how they and everyone else were scammed.

$40 billion could modernize water systems in every lead-poisoned town in the US and bring high-speed internet to rural America, but instead it's going towards bailing out Argentina

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

That should be the journalistic automatic, no-news reaction. Unfortunately, we are in a place where that is an improvement from earlier behavior, and is news.

Six people had their visas revoked due to their social media posts.

Six people are being deported because of what they said online.

Six people have had their freedom of speech suspended.

It won’t stop with these six people.

Either we all have freedom of speech or none of us do.

A man in my law school class was an obese, alcoholic, extreme right-wing republican, who was disbarred for making sexually harassing phone calls to boys. After rehab, he came out of the closet, and became a physically fit, liberal Democrat. We became close friends until he died of cancer in 2019.

Exactly. Hate is taught. People of all education levels are capable of rejecting the hate they were taught, IF they want to.
