On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

The Supreme Court ruled that the Equal Protection Clause does not protect everybody equally. Instead it upheld the Tennessee law that seeks to eradicate trans kids. My latest in @thenation www.thenation.com/article/poli...

If a legislature banned all treatments, medicines, procedures pertaining to prostate glands, would the Roberts Court sill review with rational basis?

Welp. This strikes me as correct and has sent me spiraling about how we’re doing everything all wrong.

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social: "What is going on with these masks?'...That's not something we can be doing in this country...I keep being shocked that there's not more pushback that [ICE] isn't properly showing who they are as they're trying to arrest people."

Aside from the inhumanity and trauma, what is the cost of all this gear, all this personnel, all this hybrid military-immigration-fascism cosplay? Can a few small government Repubs get on this? Where my Reagan stans at?

The majority opinion is rubbish, but this separate writing is utterly divorced from reality. The ban at issue literally proves widespread operationalized animus.

Justice Sotomayor's dissent in Skrmetti (which she's now reading from the bench) is deeply pained, accusing her colleagues of abandoning "transgender children and their families to political whims" and badly damaging "bedrock" principles of equal protection. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

This is monstrous. Melissa Hortman was kind and smart and worked for decades trying to make life better for Minnesotans. Sending love out to all who knew her and praying for the safety of all of her colleagues and their families.

Trump’s $45 million birthday parade with its tanks and helicopters is an authoritarian ego trip. But the real show of force this weekend won't take place in D.C., it’ll happen in the streets as protesters gather nationwide to declare "No Kings in America!"

My family owes everything to America's acceptance of a refugee named Nicholas Pritzker on its shores over a century ago. My story, however, is not unique — our state and nation have been strengthened by people from across the globe seeking freedom, opportunity, and refuge here.

So video of this 2012 interview is popping up on other sites. Feels super relevant at the moment. Wait for the moment Rubio gets pinned to the wall about his grandfather’s deportation order… (h/t @reuben_reyñoso)

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

“Trump…called for the arrest of Newsom. If you saw all this in any other country—soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened—it would be clear that autocracy had arrived. The question, now, is whether Americans who hate tyranny can be roused to respond.”

“I’m not going to give legal analysis, but I am going to call for grisly extrajudicial violence against a governor,” is a hell of a thing for any lawyer—but especially the Speaker of the US House of Representatives—to say aloud in front of cameras and microphones.

the company line from the Mayor and his dopey police sychophant surrogates, is that misinformation from activists escalated the trauma and panic of yesterday. No. Military vehicles, long guns, covered masked faces and jungle fatigues looking like a junta escalated panic and fear
