Y’all. DACA recipients can’t continue living court ruling to court ruling. It’s too much not knowing whether you’ll be able to keep building on the life you have because of DACA. It’s never been enough and DACA recipients, among millions more!, deserve stability and permanence.

Reminder that Thomas Jefferson who helped write the Declaration of Independence also said we should rewrite the constitution every 20 years so that dead people wouldn’t rule over modern society.

Make no mistake, the decisions of the last two days - guns & abortion - are not a function of legal, constitutional interpretation. They are solely the result of a change in Court personnel. This makes the Court a more obvious political institution, not one removed from politics

Maybe someday, women in America will have as many rights as guns do.

In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s the U.S. Supreme Court was used as a tool to permit the ending of reconstruction and beginning of Jim Crow. They were very much political in their rulings. This current court’s majority is much of the same. An unjust group of jurist.

Folks are talking about police a bunch, and that's something I might actually be able to provide context for. Police are never, and will never be, required to endanger themselves in any way for any reason. This has been litigated thoroughly.

It's remarkable, the leak of what appears to be an initial draft majority opinion. SCOTUS generally has kept its secrets and has kept confidential its internal processes and deliberations. But the Court does occasionally leak, and it has leaked before about Roe v. Wade. 1/x

I know this seems bad but we can’t just pack the court— people would lose trust in the institution that just told all women to fuck off and die

Abortions will still happen. They just won’t be safe or legal.

My latest is about a bizarre, kafkaesque situation in which peoples citizenship applications are stalling because the paperwork needed to complete them is stuck inside an underground government storage cave that is closed for Covid wsj.com/articles/with-…

Brian Bukle, 62 y/o black man, jailed by ICE for over a month despite repeated explanations he's a US citizen. -Arresting contractors taunted him. -ICE officers ignored his pleas, falsified I-213, put him in deport proceedings. -GEO therapist urged him to just sign deport papers.

Imagine being an IJ and finding that someone lied on their app for asylum bc they had to edit it to include more harm that happened to their family in the 3 months since being detained, calling it "convenient" and self-serving that a family member was beaten and disappeared. 🤬

It's 11p in DC, and less than two hours until midnight in Texas, when #SB8 takes effect. Still no word yet from #SCOTUS on the plaintiffs’ request or from the 5th Circuit.

When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they’re referring to is for white people. This land is stolen land and Black people still aren’t free.
