Judging by their rulings, the conservative justices of the Supreme Court believe that the use of race to improve political and economic outcomes for minorities is intolerable, but using race as a proxy for who does not belong in this country is permissible.
The Supreme Court says colleges can’t consider race. But ICE can.
So much for the justices' promise of a "colorblind Constitution."

NEW @motherjones.com: Pardoned J6ers are using Kirk's killing to call for civil war

Stewart Rhodes will rebuild Oath Keepers; Proud Boys call for "retribution"; & ex-insurrectionists are coming "out of retirement."

Experts fear they could incite others to violence. W/ @kieraevebutler.bsky.social:
Pardoned insurrectionists are using Charlie Kirk’s death to call for civil war
“Charlie Kirk's assassination pulled me out of retirement. More work must be done.”

After her hearing at 26 Federal Plaza, a woman was detained and escorted toward the stairwell. Her husband, confused and in shock, was guided toward the exit. Minutes later, he broke down in the elevator. They entered together, but he left alone. This happens here daily. #ICE

I have had issues & been hearing from people having trouble just ACCESSING their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access.

It's written as one but it was not a slang term for thinking you're "special" at the time. It's a legal, banking, & accounting term. It's literal, not sarcastic. It means people genuinely are entitled to receive it. They're employing spin. & the ABA, lawyers, are ready to sue over it.

This is the most chilling article I've read, well, ever. Within 90 days, for example (or sooner) Social Security recipients will likely see delays receiving their monthly checks. It will affect over 70 million Americans, more than half of which need this to survive. That's just part of it:
"You'd think the past decade would have snapped us out of the fantasy that our institutions—or, even more fantastical, the U.S. electorate—will rescue us."

This Repub CR, that they claim will keep the government open, is a perfect example of why you must read bills.

Inside the text, you’ll find cuts everywhere, and so much money taken from vets you wouldn’t believe it. These guys are frauds.

Nice try! Hard NO! Throw it in the 🗑️

I fight through my tears everyday to keep you updated on Social Security & dismantling of major health care programs.

I want you to know there are MILLIONS of grassroots people working on this. The judicial cases DO matter. We must live in hope NOT fear. As someone on SSDI, I get it. NEVER GIVE UP!

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
