Could it be bc this was a Black man,

As great as this is pointing out the irony, it is spot on because isn’t THIS exactly what the Europeans did to the indigenous on THEIR land, & to African ppl trafficked & then taking over their continent? This is an embedded practice. 😳😳🤬🤬🤬

In 1916 the U.S. signed an agreement for control of St. Thomas, St. John & St. Croix, known as the “Danish West Indies,” in exchange for $25 million & a declaration that the U.S. would “not object to the Danish Govt extending their political & economic interests to the whole of Greenland.

There will be a Tremendous loss of lives, once again, to maintain the lifestyle of the “rich & lazy”. Civil War was fought to maintain the source of the financial gains that didn’t belong to those ppl either
focus on the trillions this will cost american taxpayers. Iraq did. Only oil companies benefited.

Robert’s is supposed to be this brilliant legal mind, so doesn’t he realize that after DJT is handed total power, there will no longer be a need for “shadow dockets” or the members of SCOTUS😳😳. I doubt the 9 will just be allowed to go home, jailed for SOMETHING seems more likely. 🤔
The conspiracy by this Court to replace our founding charter with dictatorship isn’t funny, but:
“Every time Trump makes a shadow docket appeal he might as well shout ‘By the power of Greyskull!’, because he’s about to transform from a feeble man who can’t grip a glass with one hand into HE-Man.”
“Every time Trump makes a shadow docket appeal he might as well shout ‘By the power of Greyskull!’, because he’s about to transform from a feeble man who can’t grip a glass with one hand into HE-Man.”
The Supreme Court's use and abuse of the Shadow Docket is *how* Chief Justice John Roberts legitimizes Donald Trump's authoritarian takeover of the government.

The Trump administration has erased the history of slavery, the women’s suffrage movement, and the civil rights movement from new commemorative coins.
They rejected bipartisan recommendations to feature Frederick Douglass and Ruby Bridges and instead will feature white men, including Trump.

This is why whites get so furious to see black ppl living well; nice cars, homes, travel etc.., & are convinced it’s because of criminality instead of hard work. If their identity wasn’t only abt whiteness it wldn’t be an issue
