SCOTUS has rejected the GOP's appeal in Missouri. So it's official: the GOP gerrymander in Missouri will NOT be used this November. This virtually guarantees Rep. Emanuel Cleaver's seat, which the GOP tried to draw away, will stay in Democratic. What WILL be on the ballot is the veto referendum.

"Doctors, lawyers and engineers" is an international online Nazi trope. The "joke" is that non-White people are too stupid to be anything other than a criminal or someone who leeches social services. Read a Spanish newspaper about Ceuta, e.g., and you'll see "médicos y ingenieros" in the comments.

The Trump admin had a real theory of war: Put on a show of toughness, tell people how manly you are, disdain law, do war crimes, and you win. Earlier losses came from leaders too "weak" to do that. It was a very stupid theory. But they espoused it a lot, really seem to believe it, and acted on it.

This is the most recent letter from hunger/labor striking prisoners at Delaney Hall ICE facility in Newark, NJ. "We appreciate the support of everyone who is protesting outside the facility. We want you to know that you give us the strength and determination to keep going. Please, DON’T GIVE UP!"

Translation from Spanish to English: We, the detainees at the Delaney Hall Detention Facility, wish to express our objection to the violation of our rights as immigrant human beings. We, the detainees, are demanding our progressive release, based on the fact that our arrests were illegal; immigrants to this country have the right to await our pending immigration proceedings outside of prison; therefore, we demand to be released on bond or parole so that we may complete our proceedings.

Furthermore, we call for greater efficiency in our judicial processes, as well as greater effectiveness and urgency for those who request and sign their voluntary release; we believe it is unjust to keep people who wish to leave of their own free will in custody for up to three months.

In addition to the unlawful and forced detention of most of us who find ourselves locked up here, there is the inhumane treatment that all detainees in this facility endure on a daily basis. The company in charge (GEO) fails to meet the basic conditions necessary to protect our health and our lives. To their administrative incompetence, we must add the following injustices and irregularities perpetrated by ICE and GEO:

Food containing worms or in a state of decay.

Unresolved issues, particularly regarding the bathrooms, which are in terrible and inhumane condition.

Ventilation problems.

Translation from spanish to english: Serious health issues: most people have a persistent flu with phlegm that won’t go away; many have conjunctivitis, urinary tract infections, fever, and coughs.

Medical care issues:

If you're sick, you have to submit a request that takes two weeks to be answered—or you never get a response at all.

Nurses refuse to treat you right away

They only prescribe Tylenol for all ailments

The nurses' exact words: "We're not a PHARMACY"

ICE agents coerce detainees into signing deportation orders

There is no emergency protocol: in cases of falls or attacks, emergency response arrives an hour late

Judges’ rulings are highly questionable; most bond requests are denied without legal basis

Detainees are forced to work, in most cases without pay, or for $1 an hour

We appreciate the support of everyone who is protesting outside the facility. We want you to know that you give us the strength and determination to keep going. Please, DON’T GIVE UP!

We ask all relevant authorities for an urgent response and look forward to hearing from them. With the utmost respect, the detainees at the Delaney Hall facility.

God bless you!

"The Supreme Court is betting on America's amnesia"

OPINION STUART C. LORD | MAY 6, 2026

The U.S. Supreme Court's latest voting rights ruling is dangerous not only for what it does legally, but for what it reveals nationally. It reveals how much historical amnesia now exists in the American bloodstream.

A nation that still viscerally remembered Selma, literacy tests, courthouse registrars turning Black citizens away, poll taxes and the humiliation of being told that citizenship did not entitle you to political power would not treat the dismantling of voting protections as a sterile legal adjustment. It would recognize it for what it is: Democratic regression wrapped in judicial language.

"North Carolina's Voting Restrictions Struck Down as Racist"

By THE EDITORIAL BOARD

JULY 29. 2016

By Hanna Barczyk

The scurrilous attempt by North Carolina Republicans to suppress the rising power of black voters was struck down on Friday by a federal appeals court that concluded that the state's voting strictures "target African- Americans with almost surgical precision."

The decision means that the voting power of black citizens in the important swing state will not be hobbled in November by a repressive 2013 law that the court found was steeped in blatant racism, in violation of the Constitution. "Because of race, the Legislature enacted one of the largest restrictions of the franchise in modern North Carolina history," the court ruled.

The court, in finding that the law was designed as a deliberate tool to reduce the African-American vote, is the latest to beat back attempts by Republican statehouses to interfere with minority and new voters.

🧵 DHS/Kristi Noem responded to Rep. Paul Gosar's letter and questions about the proposed concentration camp in Surprise. Incredibly disturbing that DHS describes this industrial warehouse in the desert as "humane" and overall there's not *much* new information but I'll highlight some answers below.

February 18, 2026

Representative Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515

Dear Representative Gosar:

Thank you for your February 4, 2026 letter to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) about a new U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center in Arizona.

ICE is reengineering its detention structure and acquisition strategy to meet the growing demand for bedspace and to streamline the detention and removal process.

ICE is committed to safe, secure, and humane environments for all those in its custody, no matter what type of facility in which they are housed. All detention centers are required to abide by ICE national detention standards, relevant regulations, or other requirements. Delivered facilities will be safe, energy-efficient, and compliant with all relevant federal, state, and local laws.
Under the previous administration, millions of illegal aliens were released or escaped into the interior, with Arizona on the frontlines of this crisis. These facilities will enhance ICE's ability to arrest, detain, and remove illegal aliens.

Please see the enclosure for responses to your individual questions. Thank you again for your letter and interest in this matter. Should you wish to discuss this matter further, please contact the DHS Office of Legislative Affairs at (202) 447-5890.

Sincerely,
Kristi Noem
Secretary of Homeland Security

Fortune article headline: Scott Bessent has 'got a feeling' that $175 billion raised under the IEEPA is lost to the American people for good

Approximately 47.9 million people in the U.S. lived in food-insecure households in 2024, representing about 1 in 7 households (13.7%) struggling to afford adequate food. This includes roughly 14.1 million children. Additionally, about 5.4% of households (7.2 million) experienced "very low food security," where food intake was reduced and normal eating patterns disrupted.

Approximately 22.6 million renter households, or 50% of all renters, were cost-burdened in 2023, meaning they spent more than 30% of their income on rent and utilities. This marks a record high for the third consecutive year, driven by rapid rent increases and stagnant income growth. Roughly 12 million of these households are severely cost-burdened, spending over half their income on
