Supreme Court blesses racial profiling by ICE
The conservative justices don't explain a decision that green lights detaining people for how they look.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Abbott wants Texas Dems to be removed from office for "abandoning" their voters for 10 days. Yet my Congressman Sylvester Turner died on March 5th & Abbott didn't call for a replacement election until November with an expect runoff in December. I'll go 10 months without representation. Weird, right?

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

Healthcare settings have a duty to mitigate COVID. Patients shouldn’t be infected in the place they go to seek care.
What about HCWs? A new study showed 40% had symptoms of Long Covid.
This is a mass disabling event. It’s creating chronic illness patients, while taking HCWs out of the workforce:

1/ I never took DHS's scary-sounding notice that I had 7 days to leave the country too seriously, because it was obviously some kind of mistake. But what about the people the emails were actually aimed at? Let's talk a bit about immigration "parole" and what Trump is doing here

All horrible dismissals of due process. Each and every extraordinary rendition is a mistake and a crime.

As the administration and the Supreme Court have demonstrated, the law is not a moral instrument. And we cannot afford to treat it as such in an era that necessitates widespread resistance.

I think we should name the extent of the administration's law-breaking and call out their lies. We should also tell the truth of people's stories. Sometimes, this will mean pointing out that someone had legal status or didn't commit any crimes. But we can do that without abandoning everyone else.

People will argue that we should be willing to defy the law in the name of justice while also treating criminalized people as disposable. It's incoherent.

Put differently, if the administration scooped up 20 activists tomorrow, myself included, and shipped us off to some nightmarish place, and you heard a news report saying "15 of those activists had no criminal record," I would be one of the other five. Would my fate be important?
