Co-President of @Right2Democracy. Not a fan of the #InsularCases or colonies. Ask me about U.S. territories (or for donne' pika)

[Neil Weare @NeilWeare]

Excited for the opportunity to work with Sumaya Bouadi and Alex Golubitsky on this important new study debunking the myth that overruling the Insular Cases will trigger new federal taxes in U.S. territories. Happy Tax Day!

[RIGHT TO DEMOCRACY 🇬🇺🇵🇷🇲🇵🇻🇮🇦🇸 @Right2Democracy]

Tax Day is upon us, and we have a new report that examines how overruling the Insular Cases would impact questions of federal taxation. Spoiler alert: it won’t.

Sobre los casos insulares… importante. Hay que ver las implicaciones en la práctica de esta determinación.

[Microjuris @microjuris]

🚨 ¡Noticia histórica! El Departamento de Justicia de EE.UU. ha anunciado su decisión de no defender ni extender la doctrina de incorporación territorial establecida por los casos insulares.

🔍 ¿Qué son los casos insulares? Son decisiones del Tribunal Supremo de principios del siglo XX que negaron la democracia y la autodeterminación a los territorios ultramarinos de EE.UU., basándose en opiniones racistas de los jueces de aquella época. 🏝️⚖️

🚨🚨 The Justice Department has condemned the racist Insular Cases.

For nearly 125 years, these rulings have been used to deny U.S. territories equal rights & the right to self-determination. Now, @TheJusticeDept agrees—the Insular Cases deserve no place in our law.

The reasoning and logic of the Insular Cases HAS NO PLACE in the law of the United States. Proud to team up with my colleagues and allies to advocate for the reversal of the case and ensure fair treatment of the residents of the U.S. territories.
