This is full-on fascist propaganda that bears an uncanny resemblance to the "Letter Box," a feature of the notorious Nazi newspaper Der Stürmer highlighting lurid accounts of alleged "Jewish crimes."

Here is a map of the affected countries (excluding Tonga), to give you a sense of how much this new ban restricts immigration from Africa in particular.

Of the newly-added country, Nigeria faces the largest impact, with tens of thousands of visas issued every year to Nigerians.

Congratulations. I hope other judges do this.

The period known as Redemption is little known to most Americans — I’d argue intentionally — but it’s the period after the fall of Reconstruction where Black people are stripped of their rights, democracy falls in the South and the system of racial apartheid is entrenched.

It might be easy to find things like this merely petty or superficial, but that would be a mistake. Demeaning, erasing or eliminating celebrations or acknowledgments of Black America is straight from Redemption playbook, and is intended to reinforce the racial hierarchy and signal its reinstatement.

Trump really shivved JD Vance when he endorsed Tucker's interview w/Nick Fuentes, who had been mocking Vance and making racist comments about his wife. Trump basically dumped the Fuentes mess on him.

James Comey’s lawyers say that Lindsey Halligan might as well be any rando off the street, she’s not a legitimate Interim U.S. Attorney.

But if you picked a rando off the street outside the Alexandria courthouse, there’s a good chance they’d have more prosecutorial experience than Lindsey Halligan.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.
