The corrupt Supreme Court gave the green light for the Trump administration to keep targeting people based on the color of their skin and the language they speak.
This overtly racist policy hurts immigrants and American citizens alike. It cannot be allowed to stand.

Hey New Yorkers, mark your calendars for Monday, September 8th. We’re all calling Sen. Gillibrand & Schumer to tell them to draw a line in the sand and oppose any government funding deal that continues Trump’s healthcare cuts or funds his administration’s lawlessness!

Trump and Dr. Oz want AI to decide which Medicare patients get care—and they're giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. Everything about this is sick and wrong. Tell Congress to intervene NOW:
Tell Congress: Stop Trump's Plan to Let AI Deny Medicare Coverage
Donald Trump and Dr. Oz want to let Artificial Intelligence (AI) choose which procedures Medicare will cover for individual patients -- with AI companies being paid based on how much money they save by denying people’s coverage. This cruel ploy comes as Medicare faces an urgent funding crisis thanks to Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill. None of this “cost-saving” would be necessary if Trump and the GOP weren't driving up healthcare costs and starving our healthcare system of funds. Email Congress NOW: Demand that they stop AI-powered healthcare denials and use the upcoming funding deadline to restore healthcare.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

JD Vance said it himself, the Medicaid cuts, the hospital closures, the deficit hike, it’s all “immaterial” so long as Trump gets the money he needs to expand ICE operations everywhere and imprison hundreds of thousands of “illegals” (a definition soon to include the right’s political opponents).
"Alligator Alcatraz" is only the beginning. The "Big Beautiful Bill" passed by the Senate includes a $75 billion ICE windfall that will allow the Trump regime to hire thousands of masked goons and build a gulag archipelago of camps

If the bloated ICE budget gets passed in Trump's Big Ugly Bill, expect more concentration camps, more militarized vehicles patrolling your neighborhood, & more untrained agents with weapons assaulting random innocent citizens in the street for the crime of not being white.

Rather than protect rule of law, with this latest ruling, this Supreme Court once again shows their eagerness to step aside as Trump rips up our Constitution.
This will hamstring the ability of the courts to protect Americans from unconstitutional actions of any administration.
