Justice Brown Jackson's argument for birthright citizenship is very moving. I recommend reading it in full. An excerpt with alt-text below. “The Reconstruction Amendments were an anticaste, antisubordination reset for the Nation, not a mere spot treatment for the dark stain of slavery.” — KBJ

If those people were illegally deported or had reason to fear being deported to Venezuela, their deaths are not an act of God.

A win! A federal court has dismissed the DOJ’s lawsuit seeking access to New Hampshire’s unredacted voter data. The ruling marks the department’s 11th legal defeat in its nationwide effort to obtain states’ private voter information.

The real headline from the birthright‑citizenship case isn’t the outcome. It’s that four Supreme Court justices signaled they believe a president can effectively rewrite the Constitution through executive order.

Pity the tourists and DC residents trying to navigate all the road closures this week. wtop.com/fourth-of-ju...

The ban is heinous for what it does to transgender athletes. But if you think cisgender girls and young women won’t be caught up in the fallout, too, you are woefully ignorant

Pay up deadbeat or she’ll put liens on your properties.

really cannot be emphasized enough that the drafters of the birthright clause very much considered cases analogous to undocumented immigrants and *included them too*

You might disagree with Kavanaugh about the constitutionality of high school athlete genital inspections, but you can't deny he's always been very consistent in his support for nonconsensually groping teen girls.

Everyone should be extremely concerned that birthright citizenship was 5-4 and not unanimous.

Leave it the Wall Street Journal to blame Iran on Frump’s failing “peace” talks

... and thats why i voted to cut health care for millions

This country was one person's vote away this morning from putting any birthright citizen in danger of being deported tomorrow. We are so much closer to the abyss than we think. Man oh man.

This is insane. No one needs this amount of fireworks in the middle of the night. No one except our toddler narcissist president. I won’t be surprised if something goes badly wrong.

I object to AI data centers for the same reason I object to coal mining in the Rockies I don't need AI to survive, despite what the tech bros say But every single person on the planet needs clean water to survive Why are we messing with that so a few rich guys can get richer? #madness

For the GOP, the battle against mail voting is purely a matter of partisan advantage — the pool of so-called "late-received" ballots skews young, minority and Democratic. Today, the Supreme Court rejected Republicans’ scheme to disenfranchise voters. Today, democracy won. https://bit.ly/4v65laF

need to start thinking now about a full package of judicial reforms: new justices, new circuits, new district courts, ethics reforms, docket reforms, and transparency reforms.

Taking a play from Ted Cruz, Texas experiencing high heat/humidity so Ken Paxton heads for the opposite (with someone not his wife). Oops!

Today is a great day to remember how Clarence Thomas's benefactor, Harlan Crow, collects not just Nazi artifcats, but dictator statues like Lenin, Stalin, Ceausescu, and Tito. Because we all collect Nazi sh*t, right? (We don't. Most of us find it vile.) #SheShed 🧵

Impeach corrupt SCOTUS Thomas. He lies, he’s bought, he’s corrupt.

Idk who needs to hear this, but there is no "gender war". Women didn't try to take away men's right to vote, to education, or for property. Women don't write laws that control a man's body. Women didn't built systems that strip men of their any freedoms. This injustice does not go both ways.

Science!!🧬🔬🧪

This is indeed the case and it's perhaps not gotten as much attention as it should. The lower courts are bordering on open mutiny to an unprecedented degree, and it's not just Democratic appointees. The Supreme Court's perceived legitimacy is in freefall *within the federal judciary.*

The RNC thought it had found a new way to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands — if not millions — of lawful voters. It spent millions building a case in an attempt to use disenfranchisement as a systematic tool to gain partisan advantage. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

Today, House MAGAs obliged to their cult leader and passed the SAVE Act. Here are the receipts on the SAVE Act, how it will fully gut voting rights for Black people, women, and low income people, and why we must make sure it does not become law. qasimrashid.substack.com/p/the-save-a...

TIRANA — Albania's 'Flamingo Revolution' hits its 30th consecutive night. Thousands filled Skanderbeg Square demanding PM Edi Rama's resignation over a Kushner-linked resort threatening the protected Vjosa-Narta wetlands. 'Albania is not for sale!' echoed across the capital.

Donald Trump isn't taking the RNC's defeat in the Supreme Court very well. I agree it was a "tremendous loss" for him and the GOP. I am always happy to oblige in delivering him court defeats.😂 Thankfully, it was a great victory for voters and free and fair elections!

Wow!! Paraguay shocks not just Germany but the world! Los Guaraníes for the win! 🇵🇾 #WorldCup www.cnn.com/2026/06/29/s...

Eddie Glaude doesn’t just criticize Stephen Miller. He argues the immigration agenda is rooted in white nationalism. “We have to name the devil that has us by the throat. Stephen Miller is a racist. He’s a white nationalist. White nationalists have seized the federal government.” 💯 #SheShed

Why is Clarence Thomas secretly meeting with Speaker Johnson during the Supreme Court term⁉️

“I think we are seeing a hunger that is not just felt by New Yorkers, but frankly by Americans from coast to coast, for a new kind of politics, one that puts working people at the heart of it.” —Mayor Zohran Mamdani

Watching AOC grow from an agenda focused rookie into a leader able to maintain her focus, integrity, & vision for change has been a journey with promise & hope

When fascism shows up it'll be dragging a cross and waving the flag. Someone smarter than me said that. I enjoyed drawing the concept.

The Supreme Court must be reformed or dismantled at this point. It's a rogue body filled with 6 right wing extremists who want to replace democracy with a white Christian King. If a politician doesn't support Court reform then they arent the leaders for this moment. Step aside.

Portland chuds. Thomas Wayne Allen, Josh Meshal, Chris Sims, and Danny Rebel. They assault people constantly here and never get arrested either. Cops protest fascists everywhere.

Fascinating how you can be a civilian pepper-spraying a bunch of other civilians minding their own business right in front of cops and not get immediately arrested for, y’know, committing a felony.

It’s weird to be clearly living through exactly what was warned about with global warming and still have the concept treated as a future event or hypothetical.

ITV coverage of the Brazil v Japan game during the ‘hydration break’: ‘What did you think of the 1st quarter as we have to call it now?’ We really don’t have to call it that. In fact, please stop calling it that. The start of a very slippery slope.

Our president is officially a rapist today. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I’m not going to hail Barrett and Roberts for allowing us to count our votes. It’s a huge win for democracy, but it shouldn’t have even been a question. That we were one vote away from disenfranchising votes is all the more reason to expand the court in 2029.

Again, if there's a Democratic majority in the House in 2027, I think it's imperative that they start impeaching Supreme Court justices.

The Supreme Court ruled that Donald Trump can fire leaders of independent agencies or commissions, ending 90 years of court precedent that curbs executive power. The vote in the case of Trump v Slaughter is 6-3, (cont.) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...?

🚨VICTORY: Supreme Court holds that federal Election Day statutes do not prevent Mississippi from counting absentee ballots postmarked by Election Day but received afterwards A huge victory for our clients and the Elias Law Group team. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Happy Monday! 🤣 #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsACriminal

If Americans can go to jail for lying to Congress, then why don’t congressmen go to jail for lying to Americans?
