The Supreme Court ruled 6–3 in Mullin v. Doe, ending TPS protections for more than 350,000 Haitian and Syrian immigrants. In the “land of the free,” the ruling signals a continued shift toward stronger executive control over immigration policy and less judicial oversight of humanitarian protections.

Here’s my piece on the “now-completed demolition” of the Voting Rights Act in @thenation.com The VRA is the most important piece of legislation in American history. It more than anything is what ended American-style apartheid. And now Republicans have killed it.

The Supreme Court Has Completed Its Quest to Kill the Voting Rights Act

In its 6-3 decision, the court gutted the legislation that ended apartheid in this country—and once again gave white people the ability to suppress Black political power.
