They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission. They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again. And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.

As J. Sotomayors dissent says, the Republican Justices seem to think the Trump admin is injured “any time a court orders…it to refrain from doing something it would like to do.” But it cares nothing for the people sent to countries they don’t know - places they’re at risk of slavery, torture, more.

Trump declared June "Title IX Month" but both of his Admins have weakened Title IX's protections. Members of the Equality Caucus & @demwomencaucus.bsky.social know: Trump doesn't care about Title IX—he only cares about attacking women & the LGBTQI+ community.

Be warned: Trump will likely use his war with Iran as a pretext to further suppress dissent at home. We must resist his efforts to stifle freedom of speech, make warrantless searches and arrests of Americans, and put more military onto our streets.
