The red states are really trying it: defying both federal authority over immigration and the Supreme Court’s rulings mandating new Congressional maps. Where do things stand, what’s driving this, and where will it lead? A red state smackdown is overdue. https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/time-for-a-red-state-smackdown?sd=pf
Time For a Red State Smackdown

Last week I wrote about how red state governments have been testing the limits of federal authority and patience. Among the examples I discussed were Texas’s illegal use of buoys and razor wire along the Rio Grande and its intentionally inhumane treatment of migrants, and Alabama’s planned defiance of a Supreme Court order mandating a second majority Black or near-majority Black congressional district.

@jaykuo Just like the '50s and '60s. They love talking tough and "America First" until actual Constitutional law comes in to backhand them into reality.
Oh, but then it's "white people oppressed!" all a sudden. How quickly they turn to victims from their tough talk. #ConservativeMindset #WhiteVictimhood
