Supreme Court will hear case on Trump’s ban on birthright citizenship The Trump administration asked the justices to take up the case on an expedited basis in September after lower courts found the policy unconstitutional and blocked it.

The hallmark of fascism is to strip citizenship from those it demonizes

Lack of citizenship makes one deportable. If other states don't permit you entry? In Nazi Germany, this is when concentration camps turned into death camps.

We already have camps (aka immigration detention jails).

When I said FIFA should give Trump Nobel Prize it was a joke. Whoever writes this reality took it as a challenge.

Note: Fox ran a segment on the Chicago ICE Nativity, which is at the church of a pastor who recently went viral for being arrested while protesting ICE.

That pastor told me the church has since seen an influx of volatile messages.

“There’s been some suggestions that I should kill myself,” he said.

I know we were all expecting a different outcome and are deeply shocked by this result but please try to restrain yourselves

(look at his fucking reaction when he sees the medal! this fucking guy! all of these fucking guys!)

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake?

TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded


BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

Don't let the craziness with the Supreme Court distract from the big immigration story; people from 19 different countries, including Haiti, Venezuela, and Cuba, are currently trapped in an immigration limbo, with their citizenship and green card applications (among others) put indefinitely on hold.

USTA bans trans athletes from competing as women to comply with Trump executive order The national tennis governing body's policy change was made with no announcement.

SCOOP: The United States Tennis Association (USTA) quietly updated its player eligibility policy to ban trans women from competing as women in their leagues, tournaments and competitions in order to comply with Trump's anti-trans sports executive order. The policy went into effect on Monday.

When communities view ICE, federal agents, and local police who collaborate with ICE as a political weapon, trust collapses. People become more afraid to report crime & everyone becomes LESS safe esp survivors of domestic violence. A 🧵 w data & examples (1/4) 👇🏽:

Conway: This is a criminal government. Unless you are willing to say that, you’re basically fighting on their terms. They get to lie, and they win that battle because people say, “We shouldn’t use that kind of language.”

But you get to use that language when it’s fucking true.

Affaiblir le syndicalisme québécois, c’est affaiblir le Québec! L’action syndicale a contribué à la solidité du «modèle québécois» et à son filet social et économique.

Lettre ouverte de Louise Harel.
« Législatrice pendant 28 ans à l’Assemblée nationale, je sais ce que le « modèle québécois », son filet social, économique et la promotion de la langue française, doit à l’action syndicale au-delà de la négociation des conventions collectives.»
