We hate fascists; and we’re quite averse.
Our democracy keeps getting worse.
So we try to resist
Just a wee little bit,
And make fun of the morons through ✨verse✨.

Next, shadows crawl, whispering near.
A ripple then breaks,
A storm that awakes,
Leaving chaos where calm once appeared.

Today’s unsigned, unexplained #SCOTUS ruling clearing the way for removals of migrants to third countries without any additional process is a disaster—not just on the merits, but because of the government misbehavior that it not only refuses to punish, but effectively rewards.

BREAKING: SCOTUS over liberals' dissent, blocks district court order requiring process before carrying out third country removals. SCOTUS's order allows Trump admin to carry out third country removals without the protections required—notice and opportunity to raise a challenge. No reason is given.

The application for stay presented to JUSTICE JACKSON and by her referred to the Court is granted.

Should certiorari be denied, this stay shall terminate automatically. In the event certiorari is granted, the stay shall terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of the Court.

I worry that escalating war with Iran will be used to whip up more fear and hate for non-white immigrants, particularly those of Arab descent, and be used for unjust deportations.

A law student at the U of Florida — a self-described white nationalist and Nazi — wrote a paper arguing that the Constitution only applies to white people.
The federal judge teaching the class, a Trump appointee, gave him the highest grade and awarded him a prize.
The school defended the decision.
