HORRIBLE. ICE is averaging more than one death a week this year. It's like clockwork. The last death reported was exactly seven days ago.

Food prices climb because Trump's trade policies broke supply networks. Your grocery bills display this economic chaos. Working families pay while billionaires and corporations profit from the disaster he created and Republicans in Congress enabled. #TrumpsWarOnOurEconomy

Let's talk about the midterms. ICE is terrorizing and punishing blue states and cities to suppress your votes using fear from ICE- yes it's already started. Blue states need to wake up and have a plan to deploy the National Guard to protect polling stations & voters from the federal government!

I’m seeing increased use of this word and I just want to gently suggest that if there’s one word you can manage to remove from your vocabulary it should be this one. It was coined by a eugenicist who used it as a diagnosis to forcibly institutionalize and sterilize mentally disabled people.

Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped from Minneapolis. He was my neighbor and he died in an American concentration camp. He was not "illegal," he was a human being made in the image of the divine. May his memory be a blessing, and may the rest of us fight like hell until we stop this brutality.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

As Justice Kagan begins her dissent by pointing out, what is even the point of trial, of fact-finding, of clear error, of standards of review, when the Supreme Court simply ignores every single part of that and decides everything purely on the papers without any real consideration of the facts?

USTICE KAGAN, with whom J USTICE SOTOMAYOR and
J USTICE J ACKSON join, dissenting from the grant of the ap-
plication for stay.
Over the course of three months, a three-judge District
Court in Texas undertook to resolve the factual dispute at
issue in this application: In enacting an electoral map
slanted toward Republicans, did Texas predominantly use
race to draw its new district lines? Or said otherwise, did
Texas accomplish its partisan objectives by means of a ra-
cial gerrymander? The District Court conducted a nine-day
hearing, involving the testimony of nearly two dozen wit-
nesses and the introduction of thousands of exhibits. It
sifted through the resulting factual record, spanning some
3,000 pages. It assessed the credibility of each of the wit-
nesses it had seen and heard in the courtroom. And after
considering all the evidence, it held that the answer was
clear. Texas largely divided its citizens along racial lines to
create its new pro-Republican House map, in violation of
the Constitution’s Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments.
The court issued a 160-page opinion recounting in detail its
factual findings.
Yet this Court reverses that judgment based on its pe-
rusal, over a holiday weekend, of a cold paper record. We
are a higher court than the District Court, but we are not a
better one when it comes to making such a fact-based deci-
sion. That is why we are supposed to use a clear-error

standard of review—why we are supposed to uphold the
District Court’s decision that race-based line-drawing oc-
curred (even if we would have ruled differently) so long as
it is plausible. Without so much as a word about that stand-
ard, this Court today announces that Texas may run next
year’s elections with a map the District Court found to have
violated all our oft-repeated strictures about the use of race
in districting. Today’s order disrespects the work of a Dis-
trict Court that did everything one could ask to carry out
its charge—that put aside every consideration except get-
ting the issue before it right. And today’s order disserves
the millions of Texans whom the District Court found were
assigned to their new districts based on their race. Because
this Court’s precedents and our Constitution demand bet-
ter, I respectfully dissent.

Disability education should not be put into HHS because it's not a health issue, it's an education issue. The idea that disability = health is dehumanizing and, frankly, simply wrong.
