This SCOTUS rulings so far
•Universities using race criteria to counter historical racism in admissions is unconstitutional, BUT
•ICE fascists using race criteria to target people of color is constitutional, BUT
•State legislatures using race criteria to counter historical voter suppression is unconstitutional, BUT
•Trump using race criteria to enact travel bans is constitutional
In short—race criteria that centers white people is constitutional, but race criteria otherwise is unconstitutional😐

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley: "The last 2 weeks we as a law enforcement community have been receiving endless complaints about civil rights violations in our streets from US citizens. What we're hearing is they're being stopped in traffic stops or on the street with no cause and being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they are here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints as they fell victim to this while off duty. Every one of these individuals is a person of color ... it has to stop"

Something that national commenters have been missing: The Charlotte DA whose office handled nearly all of Decarlos Brown's arrests (some of which ended in convictions, some which didn't) was a Republican, Andrew Murray, who Trump later made the US Attorney for western NC #ncpol

"Even as violent crime reaches historic lows across the country, Trump prefers a narrative of chaos that will allow him to advance his own destructive agenda."

I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.'
Below are some brief highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.
Here's the full eye-opening 'debate': youtube.com/watch?v=2S-WJN3L…

BREAKING: The Food and Drug Administration is suspending a quality control program for testing milk and other dairy products.
The agency is citing reduced capacity. It has 20,000 fewer employees as a result of the DOGE cuts under Trump and Musk.
