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.

This is all John Roberts’ fault Trump owes his corrupt and abusive reign to one man.

Once again, this is all John Roberts' fault.

Read @ariberman.bsky.social + @pemalevy.bsky.social on why Trump owes all his corrupt and abusive reign to the chief justice.

Our future in a nutshell.

The ball game is right here. ↘️

The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”

We cannot normalize ICE's cruel deportations. Every human being — regardless of race or immigration status — deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.

Deported Maryland mother says immigrants treated "less than animals," husband vows to bring her back The devastated husband of a mother of four, deported to Vietnam over an old theft conviction, vows to fight to bring her back to Maryland. ​

After months of fighting to be reunited with her husband and four children, Vietnamese refugee Melissa Tran was deported. Text messages shared by CBS News reveal the horrific details of Tran's 48-hour journey — which included an international flight where her hands and feet were shackled. 🧵⬇️

Missouri attorney general involves ICE in push to halt anti-gerrymandering group The attorney general did not provide any evidence to support her claims, which the campaign called false.

JICYMI: Republican pushback against Trumpian redistricting has gotten lot of attention. But, keep an eye on Missouri - where local organizers are fighting the good fight. So much so that MO Republicans are threatening to sic ICE on them.

They are getting desperate ...

Aaron Rupar • @atrupar X.com Q: Stefanik has called Mamdani a 'jihadist.' Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist right now? TRUMP: No, I don't. I met with a man who's a very rational person Lcc ES NAVY 0:19 Qx

Q: would you feel comfortable living in NYC under a Mamdani administration ? TRUMP: I would. I really would.

Donald Trump on Zohran Mamdani following their meeting at the White House: "I can tell you that some of my views have changed. [...] I feel very confident that he can do a very good job. I think he is going to surprise some conservative people actually, and some very liberal people he won't surprise dem because they already like him." ES

So Mamdani met with Trump and, uh…flipped him into being a fan? Right wing (and some left wing) heads are exploding over Trump’s glazing of Z:

"I met a man who’s very rational…I feel very confident that he can do a very good job. I think he is going to surprise some conservative people actually."

From October 1 through November 11, Stop AAPI Hate worked with Moonshot to track hate directed at Mayor-Elect Mamdani and the broader South Asian community in online spaces associated with targeted violence — like 4chan — and the results are alarming.

it just seems plainly clear to me that if you serve the country in any capacity, civil or military, and you are not a conservative white man, the Trump administration wants to make the workplace as hostile an environment as possible so you remove yourself

There’s one person squarely to blame for Trump’s corruption, authoritarianism & assault on democracy: John Roberts. He’s enabled so much of Trump’s lawlessness while somehow escaping accountability for it
