#SettlerColonialSCOTUSIsAntiLaborAndCorrupt: conservative court can easily conclude — no deference needed — that a conservative-led agency reached the “single, best meaning” of the law, as Roberts put it. The same conservative court can easily conclude progressive agency actions do not represent the “single, best meaning” of the law. With no real statute of limitations at play and no deference to the agency needed unless it has been specifically and appropriately — as decided by the judiciary — delegated to the agency, the court can do what it wants.

The #SettlerColonialSCOTUSIsAntiLaborAndCorrupt’s “justification comes down, in the end, to this: Courts must have more say over regulation—over the provision of health care, the protection of the environment, the safety of consumer products, the efficacy of transportation systems, and so on. A longstanding precedent at the crux of administrative governance thus falls victim to a bald assertion of judicial authority”- Justice Kagan.

I’ve written before on the dire need to expand the Supreme Court to protect our democracy, as well as the horrifying receipts that the Supreme Court has been arguably the greatest blockade to civil rights and justice in America. Now, the antics from Justice Alito and Justice Thomas further prove that my criticisms of the Supreme Court aren’t just historical critiques—they’re contemporary facts.

far-right figures who often suggest violent action suddenly caring about Palestine–something they couldn’t care less about before October 7, 2023–reeks of federal authorities creating disruptions, fear, and distrust in the pro-Palestinian movement. In other words, it sounds an awful lot like #COINTELPRO, the labeling of Black Lives Matter activists as Black Identity Extremists, and everything in between.

#SettlerColonialSCOTUSIsAntiLaborAndCorrupt: Three South African farm workers have filed a lawsuit against a western Minnesota manure management company Friday, alleging wage theft, substandard living conditions, violations of visa rules and retaliation.
Boehnke Waste Handling of Marietta is a company that pumps, transports and spreads manure from livestock operations to crop fields, where it is used as fertilizer. Since 2021, the company has employed more than a dozen foreign workers through the federal H-2A visa program — a temporary visa for agricultural work that requires employers to offer habitable housing, safe working conditions, travel reimbursement and minimum wage.

#AsymetricBorderRuleLeadsToAutocrats

#Bidenomics: At warehouses nationwide, shifts are being cut and entire facilities being replaced by new automated hubs requiring a fraction of the labor… But this job doesn’t pay for rent, doesn’t pay for anything, because you can’t live off $310 a week in New York City. That’s just pocket money or paying your cell phone bill or stuff like that. In other words, you need a second job.
Evan: I bet Sean O’Brien was just saying that because he knew what the CEO was planning. He probably got a good cut out of it so he kept his mouth shut.
