i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

"In retrospect, the Court’s willingness a quarter-century later in Palmer v. Thompson to allow cities to shut down public swimming pools rather than allow Black people to use them makes a lot more sense." whew Lord
“The Supreme Court decided not to have a Christmas party for 12 straight years because the justices couldn’t agree on whether to invite the Court’s Black employees” is about as tidy an encapsulation of the Supreme Court’s whole deal as I can think of
The Alarmingly Racist History of the Supreme Court’s Canceled 1947 Christmas Party
The Court held its first-ever office Christmas party in 1946. The following year, the clerks suggested inviting Black employees. It did not go over well.

K1: he wouldn't stop following me so I tried to hit him. In hindsight not my smartest move
Me: nope
K1: I mean he then tried to twist my arm
Me: yeah two wrongs don't make a right
K1, with a sigh and a very teenage eye roll: I know I know I know

Fuck the corrupt pair, Witkoff and Kushner. They are selling out the West for Russian bribes. I don't understand why Congressional leaders here in the US are not louder, more outraged about what is happening, more willing to fight.
Zelenskyy rejected Witkoff’s proposal to withdraw troops from Donbas during talks in Berlin, — AFR
Reports say the Ukrainian side insists that any ceasefire must come without prior territorial concessions to Russia. The maximum they are willing to accept is a freeze along the current front line.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

The "plaintiffs" seeking to dismantle the Voting Rights Act (in a case this week at SCOTUS) include:
-a member of the "Trumpettes," a group of women who ardently support for the president
-a retiree who said he didn’t remember signing up to be involved in a lawsuit.
