Roberts has always felt that the suggestion that white people might discriminate on the basis of race is a profound moral injustice, much greater than black people being denied the right to vote bsky.app/profile/jayw...
Everything about John Roberts's approach to the Voting Rights Act makes sense when you remember that John Roberts has has always been hostile to the Voting Rights Act, never believed it was appropriate, and has spent most of his 45-year legal career working to hollow it out.
One of the Biggest Cases of the Supreme Court’s Term Is John Roberts’ Decadeslong Pet Project
If there’s one thing the Roberts court has been consistent on, it’s this.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

South Korea’s president said in a speech marking 100 days in office Thursday that Korean companies would likely hesitate to further invest in the U.S. unless Washington improves its visa system for their workers. https://to.pbs.org/4pfFV8R
South Korean workers who were detained in a Hyundai factory raid are now headed home. Here's what else to know
The workers went by bus from southeast Georgia to Atlanta earlier in the day and are expected to land in South Korea on Friday afternoon.

I've read your work and Samuel Bray's on injunctions. You are both wrong, and Ketanji Brown Jackson is right. Our short-term future will demonstrate just how right she is.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson called yesterday's decision about nationwide injunctions "an existential threat to the rule of law."
She's mistaken.

PREACH!!! Leave RBG alone. The 2016 election was our window to change the direction of SCOTUS, and way too many people took their ball and went home, pouting instead of voting for HRC. Call YOURSELVES out above all else.
Blaming RBG for the current balance on the SCOTUS is wack. You fuckers voted to "Bern" it down. Own what the fuck you did! Cowards!

Couldn't have said it better.
We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

If this works in people it would indeed be a game changer. This is the kind of payoff you get from decades of dedicated basic research. The kind that is currently being torn down by this administration.

Very important thread on the last 24 hours. Also, you must subscribe to Sherrily Ifill's substack letter.
I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few:
1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.
