5 yrs ago, we were a few months into the deadliest public health crisis of our lifetimes and Pres Trump was lying about or ignoring Covid-19.
Today, White America proudly embraces the lie that Covid was somehow political—and Project 2025 fully destroys U.S. public health infrastructure as a result.

Please understand, U.S. slavery was never “abolished,” much less outlawed.
The 13th Amendment openly permits human enslavement, as punishment for [any] crime.
“The land of the free” and so-called Rule of Law have always been lies.
The nation’s ongoing slavery practice is one of many examples. 🇺🇸

Many of the impacted families are from right here in Dallas. We’re mourning with you and praying for comfort, healing, & peace in the days ahead.

This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better.
But I love our country — and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation.

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

![12 The majority's contention that I reject "pure textualism' [a]s insuf-ficiently pliable to secure the result [I] seek," ante, at 10, stems from an unfortunate misunderstanding of the judicial role. Our interpretative task is not to seek our own desired results (whatever they may be). And, indeed, it is precisely because of this solemn duty that, in my view, it is imperative that we interpret statutes consistent with all relevant indicia of what Congress wanted, as best we can ascertain its intent. A methodology that includes consideration of Congress's aims does exactly that— and no more. By contrast, pure textualism's refusal to try to understand the text of a statute in the larger context of what Congress sought to achieve turns the interpretive task into a potent weapon for advancing judicial policy preferences. By "finding" answers in ambiguous text, and not bothering to consider whether those answers align with other sources of statutory meaning, pure textualists can easily disguise their own preferences as "textual" inevitabilities. So, really, far from being "insuffi-ciently pliable," I think pure textualism is incessantly malleable that's its primary problem-and, indeed, it is certainly somehow always flexible enough to secure the majority's desired outcome.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zftsnmv3oeatoag66zia5sfu/bafkreifsap53drl2kowrqiooj4egwyh2srwefinphh4vbt3d753igcek2y@jpeg)

Old enough to remember when Trump and Republicans said tariffs wouldn’t affect prices for the American customer.
Now, Trump is insisting Walmart should just “eat” those increase costs, lose money, and NOT pass that loss on to the consumer via raised prices—like every economist knew they have/will.
