More from Sotomayor's dissent in this horrific SCOTUS ruling: "By rewarding lawlessness, the Court once again undermines that foundational principle. Apparently, the Court finds the idea that thousands will suffer violence in farflung locales more palatable than

"Think of the MAGA majority’s shoddy arguments as a flex, a reminder that five (or six) justices are above accountability. That’s the real legacy of the Roberts Court: a steady erosion of rights dressed up as freedom, with little care as to whether their positions are coherent." — @snipy.bsky.social

Today’s unsigned, unexplained #SCOTUS ruling clearing the way for removals of migrants to third countries without any additional process is a disaster—not just on the merits, but because of the government misbehavior that it not only refuses to punish, but effectively rewards. Me, via “One First”:

Remember when people were saying: “the courts are the last line of defense!” There was never a long-term line of defense. With the Supreme Court compromised, and we know that it is, major decisions like this will continue to happen. If you aren’t preparing for a general strike, start now.

Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” lands a $1 billion tax break for Big Oil as EPA staff are told to “pause” oil and gas enforcement. Broadcast networks should give the scandal the attention it deserves.

solstice was around 10:40 last night, so this is the first (full) day of summer. cheers to all who observe! i'd expect to see more seasonal nods, but i guess everyone's too busy scrambling over whatever fresh hell we must deal with.

I just have to say, as a historian of the Reconstruction-era Klan, that masked paramilitaries are very bad and masked vigilantes are even worse and there are causal links between the two and none of this is good for democracy.
