If you think George Floyd and/or Breonna Taylor and/or Ahmaud Arbery and/or any non-white person who has ever been killed by a police officer or other bigot deserved to be killed and/or that they brought it upon themselves, you're a racist sack of shit and you don't belong here. #blacklivesmatter

if people don’t know what a megalomaniac Gianni Infantino is, I sat in a room several years ago when Infantino went on a rant about how only FIFA could bring peace in the Middle East.

It was hard not to just break into open laughter listening to this nonsense …

A judge has ordered the unsealing of grand jury transcripts from the 2005 & 2007 investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act compels the DOJ, FBI and federal prosecutors by 19 December to disclose the tranche of materials amassed during investigations into Epstein.

A similar request was rejected earlier this year, but a law passed by Congress last month overrides it.

I agree that this is an important guiding insight...and 90% of Americans don't know this.

What is the role of journalism if not to hammer this point home until people understand d it?

That was further affirmed by SCOTUS in the Wong Kim Ark case. So if yiu believe in originality or stare decisis this is an open and shut case. It's only hard if youre racist AF. (6th in an increasingly inaccurately named trilogy) www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt...

Because some are asking... "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" is a carve out for ambassadors, tribal nations outside of US jurisdiction and invading armies. It decidedly does not apply to children of foreign-born parents (4/3)

I'd also note they already invalidated Section 3 that says that you can't hold federal office if you engaged in insurrection against the United States. These are not judges impartially applying the law. They are racist despots who despise American progress. (3/3)

That this SCOTUS used it to justify striking affirmative action bc it discriminated against WHITE people and now thinks their might be a colorable argument about the birthright part shows only that they are confused about whether the good team won the Civil War. (2/3)

The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”

According to this Supreme Court:

❌ Using race conscious admissions in college to give minorities a fair shot

✅ Using race to profile people on the street to detain for immigration sweeps

✅ Using race to disenfranchise minorities in elecciones

The only consistency is white supremacy.
