Let’s say it plain: the Supreme Court of the United States endorsed racial profiling today.

"Yes, Brett, it’s just a friendly conversation with your local masked jackboot. Just a totally polite and harmless conversation where, as long as you answer the questions correctly, you do not end up on a plane to a concentration camp in Uganda. What could possibly go wrong?"

Here’s my write up on the most racist decision to come out of the Supreme Court in a while. The court approved of Trump’s racial profiling of Latinos with Brett Kavanaugh saying being harassed based on the color of your skin is “common sense.”
My latest in @thenation

The Supreme Court Just Gave the OK to Racial Profiling

The court’s ruling allowing ICE to resume its indiscriminate round-ups of LA’s Latino residents can only be described as one thing.

WTF- did Trump say he’s prevented or stopped six wars? He’s now trying to be the Prince of Peace?!

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Here are the GOP members of the Senate Finance Committee--consider going to their LOCAL office this week and exhorting them to figure out why DOGE is in your financial records.

Watching the Hegseth debacle. So disgusting that the chair keeps inserting written endorsement of Pete at frequent intervals. Who cares if so and so endorses him. This whole s show is so disturbing.
