#BREAKING: Today, the Supreme Court cleared the way for the Trump administration to strip Temporary Protected Status (TPS) from more than 350,000 Haitian immigrants, putting them at immediate risk of deportation to a country still in crisis.
“The Supreme Court has given the green light to deport over 350,000 people, jeopardizing their safety, all while ignoring clear equal protection principles. It’s a shame that this is the America we’ve come to be.” —President and CEO @DerrickNAACP

Compare Alito’s description of Trump’s racist statements (on the left) to Justice Kagan’s anthology of Trump’s racist statements (on the right). These are passages from this morning’s opinions in Mullin v. Doe.

The reasoning here is absurd enough that it should be part of the story:

“Supreme Court rules that Trump statements that Haitians ‘probably have AIDS,’ are ‘poisoning the blood of our country,’ are ‘eating cats and dogs,” do not constitute racial animus.”

For decades, the Court has limited constitutional remedies for racial discrimination by making it harder to prove that discrimination occurred. We’ve reached the final manifestation of that trend: the president using white supremacist rhetoric and the Court saying “Doesn’t look like anything to me.”

It’s genuinely unclear what kind of statement could constitute racial discrimination at this point. Maybe if you provided a notarized statement explaining that you specifically hate black people because of the color of their skin?

They held him down, shaved his locs against his will, and now the Supreme Court says he can’t even sue for damages.

The Supreme Court ruled that Damon Landor and other incarcerated people have no recourse, even when their religious beliefs are violated behind prison walls.

His faith wasn’t a crime. His locs weren’t a threat. But apparently, his rights were expendable.

This can’t be the end of the story. apnews.com/article/suprem…

    🚨 Leon Black just got subpoenaed. He thought he could dodge our questions about his NDAs with Epstein survivors. He was wrong. His wealth and connections won’t protect him. He will be held accountable.

    Starting today, New York’s law banning most law enforcement officers from wearing masks while on duty is in effect.

    This is a critical protection to help keep New Yorkers safe and ensure accountability.

    If you see someone breaking the law, contact us:

    @RonBrownstein

    @AARP poll-done by a team that includes Trump’s pollster-puts his approval in OH at just 42-55. That’s 13 points (!) below Trump’s OH vote share in 24, and 11 below his OH approval in the 2018 exit. Not surprisingly, w/those #s, it shows Sherrod Brown leading (tho still under 50)

    The Undercurrent
    @NotTheirScript

    This is the DSA co-chair. Let me summarize what he says in this video:

    We’re using the Democratic Party as a ballot-access vehicle, not because we share its goals. We build our own organization, get elected under the Democratic label, caucus with Democrats when it’s useful, and push our own agenda from the inside. We see the Democratic establishment as an obstacle, not a home.

    Are y’all seeing this shit? I need every Democratic state party rules committee to start reviewing their bylaws. We’re not doing this tea party shit.

    You cannot sign a loyalty oath for ballot access, access to our tools and resources (that many of you have offered feedback & money to improve) and then allow people who lie to gain access who are literally LYING to gain access.

    WE ARE NOT FUCKING SOCIALISTS!

    @reesetheone1

    Socialists ain’t changing That.

    You wonder why white voters in the Midwest vote to the right of voters on the east and west coasts?

    Cost of living is much cheaper.

    Chicago is the most expensive city in the Midwest to live in and WAY CHEAPER than NYC.

    @Needle_of_Arya

    the untold story that 45% of the House Caucus are already listed as progressive but no more than a dozen are DSA or DSA-adjacent

    also see that DSA doesn’t recognize the existence of non-DSA progressives, and even ratfucked one of them in favor of a DSA rival on Tuesday
