Patriot Front came out of their moms’ basements, dusted off the Old Navy khakis, put on the white masks so they don’t get fired from their day jobs, and headed to Washington for America’s 250th birthday celebration. Four hundred self-described patriots, not one ounce of bravery.

From Reclaim Rhode Island: feeling inspired by the progressive victories in NYC? Here in RI, we have working class champions too! ReclaimRI.org/canvass
Graphic from Reclaim Rhode Island on a blue background. Large text at the top reads, “FEELING LEFT OUT?” with four headshots underneath. Below, white text asks, “By HUGE progressive victories in NYC?” Large red-and-white text responds, “WE HAVE WORKING CLASS CHAMPIONS HERE, TOO!” Additional text reads, “Because every Rhode Islander deserves housing justice, quality healthcare, and a dignified life.” Six more candidate headshots appear near the bottom. At the bottom of the graphic, large text says, “VOLUNTEER!” followed by “ReclaimRI.org/canvass.” The words “Reclaim RI” repeat vertically along both sides of the image.

When you combine this case with Skrmetti, the Supreme Court has initiated a regime where states can ban medical care to affirm trans youth while states cannot ban efforts to engage in conversion therapy on trans youth. This court is such a joke.

Honestly a weird way to say, "ICE has decided the Constitution no longer applies to them."
Immigrants often don't open the door to ICE, but that may no longer stop officers
It has become common knowledge in immigrant communities across the U.S. to not open the door for federal immigration agents unless they show a warrant signed by a judge
