A not so rosy view of what today’s decision means. More and more, today feels like one of the darkest days since Felon 47 was re-elected.

The SCOTUS decision is worse than anyone imagined. And not even because of birthright citizenship. The majority is making geography an issue of life and death for political minorities. This is house-divided-against-itself level stuff. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-suprem...

It’s even worse than we thought. Mass deportation chaos—out of control. Impostors posing as ICE agents are playing thugs. Theater for the most hateful, gullible wing of Trump’s base. They get paid per head. They’re grabbing garment sewers, day laborers, street vendors. Easy targets. Not gangs!

Curfew was set for 8pm. LAPD started corralling protestors more than an hour before, not letting them leave, so that they could be arrested for violating curfew. Oh, and all nearby Metro stops were closed, so even if they tried, they COULDN'T leave. www.latintimes.com/lapd-accused...
