Crazy idea: Democrats should defend immigration and immigrants, run on the idea that immigrants make America great, and stop Homer Simpsoning themselves into the shrubbery every time Republicans try to demagogue it.

Come to Michigan. The “Muslim terrorists are taking over and bringing Sharia law” narrative is everywhere. I’ve been getting multiple texts telling me so every day and mail saying the same thing. Abdul el-Sayed is apparently also a communist. The trans “stuff” has been less noisy but not absent.

The Trump administration is deliberately withholding and redacting documents that legal residents need to prove their status. Claiming they can't find the documents is bad enough. But to turn them over only after redacting them to the point that they're useless is another level of evil.

Many noncitizens need immigration records the government has to prove their legal stay and resist deportation. The government is redacting and withholding those documents, lawyers say.

Meanwhile, the Heritage Foundation gives her a 1% lifetime rating. She is not "republican lite." I don't love the spending by AIPAC & I do have serious concerns re: Israel and Palestinians & the amounts of money we send there, but El-Sayed won't even affirmatively say Israel has a right to exist.

The new racist double standard set up by Alito in the TPS ruling: if there’s any other motive in addition to the racism, the racism doesn’t count, but if the state wants to *prevent* discrimination against black people, that is racist and unconstitutional www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The Roberts Court has been turning anti-discrimination law upside down for years. Its approach came into particular focus in May, with Louisiana v. Callais, in which it determined that not allowing Louisiana’s government to dilute Black votes was racist. In that case, Alito insisted that forcing the state to draw a second majority-Black congressional district would be an “unconstitutional racial gerrymander” because Republicans were entitled to discriminate against Black voters if they argued that their purpose was partisan instead of racist. The Court reaffirmed that position in a subsequent case dealing with Alabama, after a lower court had found ample evidence of deliberate racial discrimination, as opposed to the discriminatory effect of the Louisiana map.

Mullin now sets up an even more impossible double standard. If the government wants to discriminate against Black people, any pretext will do. “As long as there is a plausible basis—any plausible articulable basis—for the government’s action, then the Court will look to that basis as sufficient,” Aderson Francois, a law professor at Georgetown University, told me, “even in the face of evidence that government actors were motivated by animus.” If a Black person wants to prove they’ve been discriminated against, however, no amount of evidence will suffice.
