the maga constitution doesn’t allow any institution, public or private, to explicitly work to ameliorate racial inequality but allows the government to racially profile
BREAKING: By an apparent 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court halts an injunction that had prevented immigration agents from racially profiling Latinos in central California.
Sotomayor, dissenting, says the decision is "unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation's constitutional guarantees."

Right?
The fact that Ms. Ona Judge escaped that family and was never recaptured makes me so happy.

Bravo to Sen. Alsobrooks for her question.
“We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule as Whites because their immune system is better than ours.” — RFK Jr
This is the deadlier version of the racist myth that Black people feel less pain, leading to denied pain meds.

I mean yes, there is such a concept in Christianity. It appears quite notably in the letters of Paul, for instance, where it’s a concept he *relentlessly* argues against, and in the Gospel where it’s a concept Jesus very much repeatedly scorns. So it is technically in there!

Senator Maggie Hassan just asked RFK to define Medicare parts A B C and he couldn’t. Most of us on Medicare know that traditional Medicare are parts AB&D and part C is also known as Medicare advantage. He doesn’t even know that from the endless commercials even on Fox News. Absolutely UNQUALIFIED! 🤬

I've seen memos from FOUR different agencies today that order an immediate BLACKOUT of all government data, reports and information.
This will have immediate life and death consequences and must NOT be allowed to stand.
