The U.S. Supreme Court: "ICE can racially profile people it arrests."
Also, the U.S. Supreme Court: "Texas can disenfranchise voters based on race."
Can we all agree that we currently have a white supremacist Supreme Court?

Newsom’s line “it’s about addition, not subtraction” gives the game away.
People who care about principles on the left are just supposed to shut up and accept right wing policies. In reality, the “addition” of right wingers to the Dem Party only works if you don’t lose lefties by alienating them.

Gov. @gavinnewsom says he disagrees with Mayor @zohrankmamdani about the need for a wealth tax on billionaires, which he is “adamantly against” - says Dems are a “big tent party” with both views.

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting.
Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.
