THIS is what courage looks like.Today, striking farmworkers bravely stood in front of cameras, the community, and the press, risking their jobs, safety, and future. To speak the truth. About the stolen wages. About the years of being unheard.
This is a movement. And today was a turning point.

Trump refused to leave even after they were practically pushing him away so Chelsea photoshopped him out of their official trophy raising photo. Good move.

Hard to take seriously the red-white-and-blue rhetoric of freedom on a 4th of July where the US president has cut off aid to a democracy fighting for its independence against ferocious attack by a foreign tyrant.

Poor white MAGA voters will support cuts to Medicaid in order to save on “waste, fraud and abuse” the way many Latino voters supported Trump because he was only going to deport criminals.

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it.
- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.
- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

Don't be so sure. Different rules will apply to conservative pet causes. This court has proven time and again it is feckless.

1/ Remember (& you’ll hear this caveat from all the legal commentators) today’s SCOTUS decision in the birthright citizenship case is not about whether Trump can do away with birthright citizenship in an EO. It’s about whether a single district judge can issue a nationwide injunction pausing the EO.
