Kavanaugh looking to find the "end point" when the Court no longer has to worry about the intentional use of race to create black districts.
I'd say "WHEN WHITE FOLKS STOP INTENTIONALLY USING RACE TO DECREASE BLACK VOTING POWER" but he thinks white people doing that is cool.

My latest, on a man who supported the war in Afghanistan, came to the U.S. legally, applied for asylum, had two kids, became a bookkeeper, bought an American flag bumper sticker.

Then ICE arrested him. If he's deported, he expects the Taliban to kill him.

since I am engaged in horn-tooting:

I created a tool to systematically consult the records for every volume held at the Spanish Archivo General de Indias, and almost nobody uses it.

It's somehow both wildly underreported and just out in the open that the vice president is either a neo-Nazi or, at a bare minimum, a neo-Nazi fellow traveler.

I think the idea of "cancel culture" persists mainly because it conveniently is some outside force acting on someone rather than them torching their reputation all on their own

Karl Marx: "The theory of communism can be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property."
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: The Trump regime is systematically turning private companies into government-owned companies.

oh he *definitely* on some of those group chats

‼️ this was a striking moment, to me

Louisiana was basically like 'here come these Black people always asking for more' and Justice Jackson was like, 'that's not what the fuck they're asking for, they're saying: stop discriminating against us'

Wait, that's still a crime in this country?
I guess they neglected to make a kickback to the Felon In Chief.

One of the predictions I most hope I am wrong about, but which I feel strongly will happen, is that within the next decade, we will see an open Holocaust revisionist elected to public office in the US. But they won't say outright, "It didn't happen." They'll say they're "just asking questions."

Reading this thread, it appears that a Supreme Court majority is ready to completely nuke what's left of the Voting Rights Act and let the South gerrymander Black voters out of representation.

A 15-year-old U.S. citizen was taken by the feds for 5 hours after an East Side protest, his attorney said. blockclubchi.co/42FrSzH

Lord North in 1775:

Trump’s power depends on maintaining the illusion that he’s all-powerful, and that Americans adore him.

But that illusion is harder to maintain if millions of people are in the streets protesting.

This is why Republicans are trying to discredit No Kings Day rallies before they've even happened.

Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense.

THE WHOLE REASON we're arguing the case this year, after it was ALREADY argued last year, is that Roberts couldn't figure out how to get away from the court's own ruling in Milligan. Now, he's figured it out.

I guess she had a Moe of the Stooges fetish.

Spoiler: Of course not.

At about 0:55, a couple in a nearby car gets out and hurries away with an infant in a carseat to try and escape the tear gas:

My neighbors have filled the Little Free Libraries with whistles so we can warn each other about ICE. Chicago is not afraid.

At a raid on the drop-off line at a local elementary school, hundreds of parents had ICE surrounded within three minutes. ICE gave up and fled.
