After ruling the NIH grant terminations illegal, Judge Young ended the hearing with an eye-opening speech.

“This represents racial discrimination, and discrimination against America’s LGBTQ community. That's what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out. And I do so.”
THIS IS IT! THIS IS HUGE!!

PLAINTIFF'S WIN!!

Judge Young rules that the NIH grant terminations at issue in these cases are illegal and therefore vacated. BOOM!
"This Court rules that the challenged directives . . . are arbitrary and capricious."

"They are of no force and effect."

"They are illegal and so are each of the terminations before this Court"

"We need Democratic lawmakers to finally acknowledge that their good faith intentions will not be reciprocated by their Republican counterparts."

Couldn't agree more.
"And now, in the latest of a string of appalling actions, a sitting U.S. senator has been assaulted and detained in the state he honorably serves solely because he tried to do his job as a public servant. The good faith experiment is clearly over."

Respectfully this is a bad take, perhaps you forgot about the Mexican Repatriation in LA in the 1930's? The Mexican flag at these protests is to remind everyone that it's happening again and caution not to repeat history. We Californians understand this...

Be careful, friends, when you read accounts of what is happening in LA. We will hear a lot about violence, and it is essential to remember who is defining that term.

AND how much 💰 🤑 💸 are we spending on 🧊? "Immigration" is a money maker.
This parade will cost at least the equivalent of 180 years worth of an NIH biomedical research grant.
NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade.

They departed Texas 5 days ago.

What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel.

Somebody is itching to declare marshall law like his compa, Bukele (el estado de excepción).
What's happening in Los Angeles is self-defense. The administration is putting people's lives in danger, and we have the right to protect one another.
- Trump placed the National Guard under federal control (Title 10), bypassing state authority a rare and provocative move that violates the Tenth Amendment unless the Insurrection Act is formally invoked.

1/6 Today marks the anniversary of the Indian Removal Act, signed into law on May 28, 1830 by President Andrew Jackson. This act remains one of the most disgusting and despicable pieces of legislation in the history of the so-called United States.
