very funny that some of the same people who spent years calling anyone sympathetic to BLM a “racial essentialist” are now up in arms that a ugandan-born south asian man would describe himself as african and asian because, of course, you can only choose one

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

What new horror did the Supreme Court unleash this afternoon?
At @lawdorknews.bsky.social, I explain: “In short, seven justices are allowing eight people to be sent to South Sudan.”

SCOTUS allows Trump admin to send eight men to South Sudan with no process
Sotomayor, joined by Jackson, dissented, calling their colleagues' actions in the case "indefensible." It was one of several alarming signs for the nation on the Third of July.

The bill passed?
I mean… I’m not surprised…
But like… there are still SO MANY PEOPLE who have absolutely no idea just how fucked we are.
This will have decades-long repercussions.

While we slept, Republicans jammed through a rule vote. Trump cut a deal with GOP holdouts, and they folded. Now the final vote is happening this morning. Jeffries is using his “magic minute” to delay and share the stories of people who will be hurt by this horrible disaster bill. Tune in.

I continue to be struck by this language of “in accordance with the president’s priorities,” which treats the executive branch as an extension of the person of the president, and not a mechanism for instituting the will of Congress

I keep thinking about how Trump, during his first term, talked about building an alligator-filled moat to use against immigrants, and few really took him seriously, and now he talks about sending Americans to CECOT and it gets brushed off the same way

$45 billion for ethnic cleansing
It’s one thing to say they want to deport 20 million people, it’s even one thing to go nuts brazenly doing whatever you can as the executive branch to make it happen, but the fact that they’re going to give ICE an additional 45B shows how committed they are to seeing this through.

the Senate's small-state ultra-bias is never more maddening than when one senator uses it to get benefits for her 740,000 constituents while openly acknowledging the bill she's supporting will harm the nation's 339 million other residents.

Worth putting it on the record here, though you probably already know it: “Alligator Alcatraz” is a concentration camp.
Hmm, let’s see… mass detention of civilians without trial or traditional legal protections on the basis of identity (race, religion, ethnicity, political affiliation) rather than any criminal act, often for an indefinite period and done principally to expand political power. Check.

The Senate has passed the GOP megabill thanks to Murkowski's deal with Senate leadership that ensured Alaska does not have to be subjected to a lot of the bill's provisions.
Collins, Tillis, Paul voted no, resulting in a 50-50 vote with Vance breaking the tie.

In addition to its massive cuts for the nation's poorest residents' health care & food security, the Senate GOP's bill would add $3.3 trillion to the national debt, cut taxes for the richest, and eliminate most climate programs passed as part of the 2022 IRA.
The Senate just passed the largest cut to low-income programs in a single law in history. It would rip health insurance from more than 10 million people & take food assistance away from millions of households, including families w/ kids.
It now goes to the House where we have a chance to defeat it.
