Even by the measure this Court loves the most —the absurd “history and tradition” doctrine — the decision in Mullin v Al Otro Lado makes no sense at all.

America’s “history and tradition” had been to enable those persecuted elsewhere to find shelter and a new home here. We even have a really big statue in NY harbor underscoring that point.

THAT is what we mean by “the American dream”. We are here because your ancestors and mine found refuge on our shores and, through hard work, made their lives and ours better than could ever have been the case where they came from.

THAT, honorable justices, is our “history and tradition”. This xenophobic and misguided decision sends the country in a new and horrifying direction.

I weep for the dream of America that died this week.

Iran Strikes Ship in Strait of Hormuz, Undermining Efforts to Restore Traffic

The attack, confirmed by U.S. and Iranian officials, came after Tehran threatened to disrupt shipping in the waterway and as Washington sought regional support for its peace agreement.

Supreme Court Expands Trump’s Power Over Immigration With TPS and Southern Border Decisions

The court handed President Trump victories in his push to rescind deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of people and turn away migrants at the southern border.

#prairieland #ICE #crushice Yes, those sentences were way out of line. So were the defendants. There is no excuse for a protest to turn into a violent free-for-all — not on January 6th and not at Prairieland. Justice should be fair and measured. Both groups are guilty, and both should be punished or pardoned equally.

The #Iran #MOU isn't a "peace agreement"; it's a temporary cease-fire, one that leaves Iran in control of the Straits of Hormuz, releases billions of dollars they can use to fund terrorists in #Israel, #Lebanon, and around the world, and offers the US nothing—NOTHING—that we didn't have already.

What a fucking joke. The greatest, most fearsome military in the history of mankind couldn't defeat a country run by backwards religious zealots, thugs, and terrorists. Not because we're incapable, but because our "leadership" (and I use the word lightly, even ironically) is so corrupt and incompetent that in only 18 months they have turned the United States of America into a punchline.

I hope this country can survive 2.5 more years of this, and I hope that it won't take generations to fix the damage being done by this administration. But I am not optimistic about either.

Congratulations 🎊 to corrupt rapist Red Don and his team of “negotiators” 🤣🤣 who sacrificed American lives and perhaps $50B or more of our tax dollars to achieve a worse outcome in every respect than the #JCPOA.

And also congrats to #AIPAC and every other pro-#Israel person or organization opposed to the JCPOA for their assistance in this effort. Couldn’t’ve done it without you!

Together you’re Making #Iran Great Again.

Idiots.

Rewatching The West Wing at this time is an exercise in pure joy and a form of self-punishment. It’s an “if only” experience, one that screams “where did we go so wrong”. It cruelly reminds us of what we could have had at a time when that’s never been further away—and what’s more, may be gone forever.

Let’s see. . . Marco Rubio compared putting a UFC fight on the #WhiteHouse lawn to putting a man on the moon —but that’s not even my favorite part. My favorite part is when he said this country “was founded on doing what no-one else dared to do, and what no one else aspired to do”. 😳😆😂

Sure; we’re the country that does stuff that is so incredibly important that nobody else even wants to do it. Just like the #space program. 🤣🤣🤣

Here lies the #FourteenthAmendment, which could not survive the exsanguination of the #VotingRightsAct at the hands of a compromised and corrupt #SCOTUS.

May its memory be a blessing.
