“the constitution forbids race conscious remedies” would be news to the people who wrote the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments

Griem goes there, arguing in response to Justice Jackson that there can be no race-conscious remedy absent a finding of intentional discrimination.

"It’s getting worse. I mean this neither as an expression of hyperbole nor a cry of alarm. I mean this simply as a factual statement about where we are." And more than three quarters of Trump 2.0 left.

It’s Getting Worse.

The Trump administration’s assault on the rest of us is intensifying.

Supercut of comments from Republicans today alone about the No Kings rallies taking place this weekend. This has to be some of the worst, and most anti-American, coordinated messaging of all time.

Yeah,what wasn't widely mentioned was the absence of Arab leaders at that...."press conference/announcement". Not that they are particularly trustworthy either ,but it was noteworthy. Also, no mention of settlements or two-state solutions.

$20 BILLION of your tax dollars to bail out a foreign leader.

But will Trump “be there” for the millions of hard-working Americans who are about to see their health care costs skyrocket without federal action?

REPORTER: Your message to the people of Argentina?

TRUMP: We love them. We'll be there for them. They have a great leader. A very great leader.

the position of the administration it seems is that it is illegal discrimination and divisive racism for historically excluded groups to organize on that basis to improve their position. it’s basically just a genteel version of david duke’s complaint that there wasn’t a NAACP for white people

Victor Ray @victorerikray.bsky.social · 1d

I know it is beside the point because this administration simply wants resegregation but conferences for Black professional associations have always been open to everyone. Typically, the started as a response to white exclusion, and did not replicate that.

Benjamin McKean @blmckean.bsky.social · 1d

Very bad: OSU unilaterally cancelled the registration of grad students attending the joint conference of the National Society of Black Physicists and the National Society of Hispanic Physicists. And OSU won't fund recruiting at the Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science.

Aside, of course, from the Palestinian state, is there any player in this whole Middle East arrangement who hasn't bribed Trump, his family, or his aides and their family, or done psy-ops for Trump's campaigns?

Since Trump is the all-time “waste, fraud, and abuse” champ, we should retire the phrase. If we really want to get rid of waste, fraud, and abuse we should get rid of the MAGA regime—and before that, boot out the do-nothing MAGA congressional majorities
