Meaningful dialogue about 9/11 and its aftermath is as critical today as it has ever been. That UCLA professors organized a symposium on these topics should be celebrated, not attacked. Academic freedom is a foundational pillar of democracy and must be protected at all costs.

6 Supreme Court justices should not have ignored or endorsed the craven racism and illegality of those at the highest levels of power. Pierre Damas Bel should be alive and thriving. The tragedies pile on, and seem unending.

The Supreme Court is on the verge of a major TPS ruling. New documents show the government lied in official documents in terminating TPS for 350,000 Haitians. “Courts must rule on the law and facts. Here the facts indicate something very different from what this administration has publicly stated.”

What a powerful story of the horrors our government is inflicting on members of our community, with the complicity of the Supreme Court. The kidnapping and transfer to countries in which people have never set foot. Shame on us forever for this. And we must continue to pay attention—and resist.

The Supreme Court is baldly rubber stamping Trump’s decisions, without a word of explanation or justification. This is not justice. This is not law. This is the nation’s highest court providing cover for lawlessness. And too many people will suffer. People who deserved more, better.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

An important legal victory: a judge held Trump’s termination of humanitarian protected status for Venezuelans was likely illegal. Because of the leadership of the NTPSA and brave individuals, 350,000 people have the right to work and live without fear of deportation. The fight continues.

About 350,000 Venezuelans who sought refuge in the U.S. were set to lose their work permits and protection against deportation next week. A federal judge delayed that action.

Where people are labeled by the U.S. government as terrorists for happening upon a protest (see Ranjani Srinivasan), be highly skeptical of, “trust us, we’re dealing with the ‘bad guys.’”

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Every one of these stories should be looked at as a failure of America's media. We failed to inform people correctly and they voted accordingly. There doesn't appear to be any chance this will cause some broad reconsideration of how media companies work sadly. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
