I really do think this might be the worst Supreme Court of all time, which is saying something for an institution that coexisted with slavery These motherfuckers are even worse imo bc they are also out here using antebellum reasoning and pursuing antebellum goals but well post bellum!

There isn't an opposition party at the Federal level to address what needs to happen with the Fed and Supreme Courts. I think folks should be honest about that. But we have A LOT MORE SWAY at the state and local levels. That's where I am putting my emphasis.

Alito's choice to retain scare quotes around "LGBTQ+-inclusive" throughout his opinion in Mahmoud v Taylor, even AFTER he defines the term, pretty clearly gives the game away: He thinks the books are sinister pro-gay agitprop designed to indoctrinate children www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

I’m not sharing the post, because racists are stupid and dull, but one of them accused Mamdani of committing “vibe warfare,” which is amazing. I am proud to be alive during a time when even vibes can fight wars.

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

People all over the country are thinking about NYC today. Not just because it's America's great iconic city. But because a Cuomo victory would say terrible things about the Democratic Party & its ability — indeed, its willingness — to be an effective force against Trump's neo-fascist regime.

This man has been nominated by Trump for a judicial appointment. Hearing on Weds "Senior Justice Department official, Emil Bove III, told subordinates he was willing to ignore court orders in order to fulfill the president’s aggressive deportation campaign, according to a whistle-blower complaint."

It’s amazing to me that the main stream press continues to cover (and cover for) Trump without ever acknowledging that he’s very clearly and dangerously out of his mind.

There was a survey a few weeks ago that found half of Americans thought ICE was just hunting criminals. The institutional press have failed to make clear ICE’s primary strategy today is capturing people through the use of compliance traps, and shipping them off to substandard prisons in the South.

There are many Holy Shit moments in this piece, but I keep getting stuck on the juxtaposition of the white supremacist law student who won an award for a paper about why non-white people should be stripped of their rights, and the student who was stripped of a job for criticizing that student.

This will be interesting to see because if Zohran does win, it would in large part be a direct repudiation of their entire brand of politics. They will see it that way, but rather than accepting it they will fight even harder to kill it next time. They fight harder against the left than Trump.
