The Supreme Court’s willingness to use the 14th Amendment to emancipate white people from Black elected officials—but not to help Black people elect officials—signals its fundamentally racist priorities.

A lie does not become truth because millions believe it. Wrong does not become right because the majority accepts it. And evil does not become good because enough people choose to look the other way. The masses can make evil normal. It can never make it right.

It seems to me that the entire staff of 60 Minutes at this point should simply resign on principle, because getting Pete Hegseth to sit down and asking him “how he felt” instead of grilling him about his massive failures over the past 18 months is journalistic malpractice.
