The largest part of the Supreme Court's 194-page decision on birthright citizenship is Justice Clarence Thomas's dissent. To Thomas, the 14th Amendment applied only to the freed people after the Civil War. In a concurrence, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson takes on Justice Thomas.

I wrote about how the Everglades experiment fits into the history of concentration camps in the US and abroad, and how it will connect a domestic network of camps to an international one. We’re watching the imposition of a global concentration camp network.

This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.

I dunno if this is what your experience is Iike, but for people who can see that the US has always been deeply fascist, violent, inequitable, and colonial, watching other people come to the realization that the Dems won’t save us and we need community organizing is actually deeply reassuring.
