Today, we reflect on the words of Mayor David Dinkins: our city’s first Black mayor (and a democratic socialist!).

The Trump admin’s whole case regarding Haitians in Ohio is racism, xenophobia, and lies. There’s literally nothing else to it.
Legal status, proper papers. No criminal record. Employers, neighbors, local leaders say they’re a benefit to the community.
It’s showy, bigoted cruelty, nothing more.

I can’t get over how increasingly desperate and worried district judges are — they are doing all the right things — and how they’re being betrayed by appellate judges and a Supreme Court, both too cowardly to stand behind their decisions.
Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."
Astonishing thing for a judge to do.
