Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting.

Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

The Republican Supreme Court justices believe that facts have a liberal bias
As Justice Kagan begins her dissent by pointing out, what is even the point of trial, of fact-finding, of clear error, of standards of review, when the Supreme Court simply ignores every single part of that and decides everything purely on the papers without any real consideration of the facts?

SCOTUS conservative justices upholding Texas gerrymander is yet another example of how Roberts court has greenlit the many undemocratic schemes of Trump and his party

They’ve now ruled for Trump and his allies in 90 percent of shadow docket opinions www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
The Roberts court just helped Trump rig the midterms

"...if placing “live bombs” is qualitatively different from other Jan. 6 crimes, why did the Trump administration dismiss charges against Daniel Ball — who set off an explosive device in a Capitol tunnel during a fierce battle between pro-Trump rioters and law enforcement officers?"
Following an arrest in the pipe-bombs case, the White House rejected questions about the parallels between this case and Trump’s Jan. 6 pardons.

But the closer one looks, the more legitimate this line of inquiry appears. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
Following arrest in pipe-bombs case, White House rejects questions about Jan. 6 pardons
With a suspect in custody, Team Trump was reluctant to talk about the president’s pardons for others convicted for violent Jan. 6 crimes.

Supreme Court cleared the way for Texas to use redrawn maps favoring Republicans in 2026 midterms

The decision overturns lower-court ruling that the new maps were unconstitutional racial gerrymander.

Victory for Trump & Texas GOP

The J6 Bombing case: let’s assume the DOJ got the right person and will prove that beyond a reasonable doubt at trial, but until then he is presumed innocent. But let’s assume all that.

Officials have not released a name as of this posting.
It took years to find this person. How long do you think it’ll take tRump to pardon them?

“Oversight needs to be broader than this one incident. It needs to cover the entire maritime bombing campaign. And it needs to go beyond the Department of Defense. We need to know how this policy was formulated in the first instance.”

US Citizen, with a valid drivers license, is traumatized by ICE at a checkpoint if FL.

Her crime, per ICE — she didn’t roll down her window far enough.

All of this…because they couldn’t be bothered to check her ID.

What are we doing? Why are these gestapo tactics being allowed to continue?

He said 'They were still in the fight'.

They expect people to believe a boat with 11 people, were drug traffickers.

Trump promised to “protect American jobs.” Reality: 800,000+ layoffs this year — the worst YTD since 2020, per nonpartisan analysts. Meanwhile he’s freezing federal hiring and pushing policies that help corporations, not workers. #TrumpAffordabilityCrisis

•DHS tweets "remigration now,"—an actual Nazi policy
•DHS defies court order & deports a 19-year-old college student
