CNN doing the work for the wannabe dictator trump.👇 Outrageously dishonest use of imagery from the Rodney King protests in LA. There is no equivalence of the King protests to Chicago and Portland’s peaceful protests. And Chicago is being targeted with violent ICE and FBI attacks.

🚨 IMPORTANT THREAD 🚨

People are protesting the Broadview ICE facility tonight. This will likely be an extremely high-risk action. I caution you to consider your risk level before attending. I will not attend.

Attendance risks your safety, but also the safety of Broadview residents + detainees. 1/6

More context on today’s SCOTUS birthright citizenship decision.👇 @elienyc.bsky.social covers all the SCOTUS decisions. Follow him. Also his book Bad Law is essential reading IMHO FWIW Just sayin’. Okay, I’m going back to weeping for my 🇺🇸 now. Then I’ll kick the laundry basket and come back fightn’.

ElieNYC @elienyc.bsky.social · Jun 27

The main upshot of today's birthright citizenship ruling (that I'm still making way through) seems to be that each person victimized by an unconstitutional Trump order has to pretty much sue individually.
Trump is free to act unconstitutionally to everybody individually.

My thoughts on SCOTUS' universal injunctions decision, a thread: Unfortunately there has been widespread misunderstanding of what the Roberts court did today. (1/x)

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett @crockett.house.gov · Jun 27

Don’t get it twisted—today’s SCOTUS ruling makes it harder for courts to fully block dangerous policies like Trump’s attack on birthright citizenship.

Once again, they’re bending the law to serve him instead of defending the Constitution.

It’s shameful.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court limited judges' power on nationwide injunctions, leaving the fate of Trump's birthright citizenship order unclear.

*Biden tries to forgive student loans*
SCOTUS: Whoa there, that is, uh, a major question. Which means you can't do it.

*Trump revokes part of the constitution*
SCOTUS: Obviously, we got to give the President the benefit of the doubt on this one.

What happens when it’s family tree presentation day, do a bunch of kids leave the classroom when my daughter presents her family tree? Every time she recaps her weekend? If she wants to read her favorite book (My Moms Love Me) in class?

Breaking news: The Supreme Court ruled that religious parents can opt their children out of public school lessons with LGBTQ+ books, a case that could have implications for schools nationwide.

Trump has wanted a police state with himself sitting at the top as its undisputed boss since his first administration.

The standoff in L.A. shows how truly eager he is to turn America’s vast warmaking powers inward on his domestic foes and critics.
