Can everyone just step back and realize how insane it is that the US Supreme Court had to rule on the constitutionality of the US CONSTITUTION and the vote to uphold the Constitution wasn't unanimous!!!
The first paragraph of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s concurrence is a devastating takedown of Justice Thomas’s heinous opinion:
“The Reconstruction Amendments were an anticaste, antisubordination reset for the Nation, not a mere spot treatment for the dark stain of slavery.”
A group of anti-ICE protesters in Texas were sentenced to 30 to 100 years in jail on Tuesday, after federal prosecutors accused them of being an "antifa terror cell."
The activists attended a protest and noise demonstration outside the Prairieland ICE jail in Alvarado, Texas. All nine defendants were found guilty after being tried before a federal judge in Texas.
The maximum sentences prosecutors sought in the case stand in stark contrast to the treatment of January 6 U.S. Capitol insurrectionists, says Sufia Khalid, who represented one of the defendants, Maricela Rueda.
Rueda has been sentenced to 70 years in prison for attending the demonstration, while "the average sentence in the Capitol riots, which had far more serious conduct than the Prairieland Nine defendants, was 26 months."
“Did you reduce the national deficit?” No we didn’t. “What books did you read to gain the knowledge on what federal grants to cut?” There were no books
As we all knew they hired racist, transphobic, homophobic, & xenophobic white men to strip people of grants & their livelihoods
As Black History Month begins, we honor the generations of Black New Yorkers who built this city into the “gorgeous mosaic” we call home. Today, we reflect on the words of Mayor David Dinkins: our city’s first Black mayor (and a democratic socialist!).
As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today. ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.
Thiel and Vance will not be able to replace Trump's cult-like hold on his followers, but this won't matter. The government is destroying all the mechanisms we have to fight back. When Trump is gone, it'll likely be too late.
In case you’re distracted by the shiny buildings in Kushner’s vision for Gaza, their plan is keep Palestinians in hyper-surveilled prison camps where they’ll eventually provide cheap labor for the resorts/high rises they won’t be allowed to live in, all built atop a mass grave.

The Trump administration has rolled out a campaign across departments that draws on images and ideas borrowed from right-wing and white nationalist circles.

Kristi Noam, Nazi slogan on podium today. “One of ours, all of yours.” WW2 SS officer killed, Nazis retaliated—One of ours, all of yours. The Victims:
◦Men: Over 170 shot on the spot; others later executed in Prague.
◦Women: Roughly 200 were deported to Ravensbrück concentration camp, where many died.
◦Children: Most were separated from their mothers; 82 were gassed at the Chełmno extermination camp. A few deemed "racially pure" were taken for "Germanization" by SS families.
•The Obliteration: The village was burned, buildings were dynamited, and the area was bulldozed and replanted to literally erase it from the map.
YOU VOTED FOR THIS??
