5 out of the 6 Supreme Court Justices who gutted the Voting Rights Act were nominated by a president who came into office having lost the popular vote.
70% of Americans support the John Lewis VRA.
The Supreme Court is historically unpopular.
It is not a democratically legitimate institution.

ICE is not about immigration.
ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets.

An important part of arresting the consolidation of authoritarianism is convincing corporations and institutions that Trump will eventually be out of power and at that point they’ll face consequences for their actions and by that standard this is a good sign
Jamie Dimon says JPM hasn't given to the ballroom because "anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful about how anything is perceived." Adds "And also how the next DOJ is going to deal with."

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

This administration has slashed billions of dollars in foreign aid — and has little data or information to share about why programs have been cut and the impact it has on communities abroad and at home.

Trump's CBP chief is a fabulist psychopath who openly takes pleasure in brutal acts of violence against civilians and freely lies under oath about the atrocities he commits and orchestrates. These are the tactics of terrorists, unleashed on our cities by our own government. slate.com/news-and-pol...

100s of foreign students in the U.S. had their visas suddenly cancelled and were asked to self-deport, supposedly due to convictions and arrests. We found many of these students had no criminal records however.

International students face visa cancellations despite no criminal records
