Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security.

That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.

Those phrases come from this woke/DEI document that uses at least one word, "equality," that has now been flagged by the Trump administration for removal from government websites and documents unless permission is granted. https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/declaration-transcript

I'm not kidding that the word "equality," a word used in the Declaration of Independence, has been put on the verboten list by the Trump Administration. https://bsky.app/profile/peterbakernyt.bsky.social/post/3ljtm4iacu22v

On the bright side, I have it on good authority that we may continue to use the words Orange and F*** face. Silver linings.

Expecting anything but ignorant ignorance from world class ignoramuses is delusional

Broke: The first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln, places the concept of equality as invoked in the D of I at the center of the US Political/Constitutional system to a previously unprecedented degree.
Woke: The last Republican president declares the word "equality" to be un-American "wokeness."

Nazi Richard Spencer in 2014: "Alexander Stephens, Vice-President of the Confederate States of America… cut to the heart of the social order he was opposing… Ours, too, should be a declaration of difference and distance—´We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created unequal.´ "

Also gotta love how they include so many random words like “community,” disparity,” and “at risk”

Oops wait probably can’t say “include” now! Too inclusive!

To be fair when the founding fathers wrote that they were straight up lying and they knew it

It’s almost as if the “Constitutionalist” descriptors in the Twitter bios every MAGA, libertarian, and every other variety of RW dipshit were always bullshit.

I’m shocked, shocked I tells ya that the people literally wrapping themselves in the flag didn’t care about the “for which it stands” when that wasn’t “invading people with stuff we want”.

Good thing women never saw the ERA ratified or we might be upset to be on this list

Sooo I take it the Census Bureau is going to stop doing the American Community Survey. (Just joking: they've fired everyone at the Census Bureau, so they couldn't do it anyway.) And they're going to have to rename traumatic brain injury, or maybe we just won't talk about it anymore.
