Michael Joseph Jackson – philanthropist, songwriter, producer, vocalist and dancer. The world's greatest entertainer and beloved by so many across the globe: “The King of Pop”. How will you honor his legacy today?

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

Jackson's framing in the dissent is the one worth holding. Green card holders are, by law, "as close to citizenship as one can get absent naturalization." They have gone through the process, paid the fees, established the ties, built the lives. The Immigration and Nationality Act was written with specific narrow exceptions for when that status could be revoked at the border.

The 6-3 majority has now expanded those exceptions to include unproven allegations. You do not need a conviction. You need an indictment and a return flight. DHS can reclassify your status at the border, move you into removal proceedings, and let the conviction come later. Jackson called it a "massive blank check." The sequencing she describes - reclassify first, convict second - is not a procedural technicality. It is the architecture of a system in which legal status is only as secure as the government's current political interest in honoring it.

The Bible Belt is also:

The divorce belt
The teen pregnancy belt
The obesity belt
The murder belt
The poverty belt
The high-school dropout belt
The uneducated belt
The MAGA belt
The prison belt
The disease belt

None of these are a coincidence. They are not simply correlation.

This is cause and effect.

I, Too
BY LANGSTON HUGHES

I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.

Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
“Eat in the kitchen,”
Then.

Besides,
They’ll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed—

I, too, am America.

Mayor @ZohranKMamdani: The Knicks did not just win for New York City. They won like New York City. What is New York if not 99.6% of the world stacked against you? And who are New Yorkers if not people who hear those odds and ask, why are you giving me a head start?
