I've been Black long enough to have at least some built-in 'yup, people be racist, and yet we move' defense systems But ngl shit can still sometimes be...jarring! Like seeing this, openly and shamelessly, and knowing Gorsuch had him in his chambers, and that he helps pick federal judges. Sickening!

Another data point in “originalism is a fraud.” So much for the law is the law we can’t think about the impact. They rail against “results oriented judging” in public but when their corporate clients make requests they know exactly what to do. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

Over just five days, the justices had decided the issue. Even as they debated the Obama plan’s possible burden on the power industry, in the entire chain of correspondence obtained by The Times, not a single justice, conservative or liberal, mentioned the dangers of a warming planet as one of the possible harms the court should consider.

Not one of them has ever stood in a line for 4 hours or more to vote in person. Not one of them has been turned away at the polls because they are suddenly “not on the list.” Not one has had their pay docked b/c they arrived late to work b/c they went to vote in the morning.

The justice wrote that Trump administration lawyers “informed” a federal judge that “no” deportations “were planned to occur” on Friday or Saturday, so there was no need for emergency action. That is false.
