It's called "end times antisemitism" and I worry about it all the time. These folks will turn on Jewish people, but for now are using discrimination as a shield. Those with a shallow understanding of social justice (like believing in reverse racism) will glaze over this until it's too late.

Crucially, the mother missed the hearing in 2018 because she was a child at the time, and it was her mother’s failure to bring her to the hearing which led to the deportation order. This is depressingly common.

ICE took her mother in Chicago. Now a 6-year-old is left without a guardian or a legal path to reunite in Honduras. A story about the children left behind by deportations—and the lack of infrastructure to care for them in the U.S or for reunification. My latest w/ @nellsalzman.bsky.social

Vox 20 Jun 25 -- Another good plain language analysis of Skrmetti. "Roberts might as well have argued that Jim Crow laws do not discriminate on the basis of race, but instead discriminate based on the color of a person’s skin." @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

The activation of Iranian terrorists in the US that Iran warned of BEFORE our attack - that is exactly WHY Homegrown Stalin ordered the attack. It is the perfect excuse to call up the military against the American people who, on the whole (I hope), might be happier with democracy.

I just finished “The Names” by Florence Knapp. It was so good that while I was reading it, it actually kept me from obsessing about how quickly we fell into facism.

Who is the head of countering violent extremism in America, folks? That would be 22-year-old Thomas Fugate. Experience: Former Garderner and Grocery Store Assistant. Feel safer?

It is true that sometimes New York City is frightening. For example today these men were loitering in the hallway of the 12th floor of the federal building.

I am 10,000% against the US getting involved in this war and think Netanyahu has made a grave mistake here. But can you PLEASE stop saying Israel “just wants to bomb brown people” and behold Iran’s two leaders. Jesus Jehosephat Christ.

The Israel-Iran war is 100% Trump’s war. Had he not withdrawn from the nuclear agreement, this war would never have happened.

🚨THIS STORY IS INSANE. The Trump administration shipped a guy to be imprisoned in El Salvador without trial, in conditions worse than we treat even convicted serial killers, because he was in a picture standing next to someone with tattoos. LITERALLY NO OTHER EVIDENCE.

I wonder if the Latino voters are finally appreciating what the Black folks have been telling them for years: It’s the racism. It’s the genetics. The GOP never did give a fuck about “legality.” They want to eliminate black and brown people because we aren’t white. That’s it. That’s all.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Well, this certainly gives it away. WaPo reports that Brett Shumate, a Justice Department attorney, said “There’s one commander in chief, and the states are subservient to the president.” Not to federal law. To the president. Stop asking if we are there yet.
