"The Massachusetts Department of Correction... formally partners with ICE to transfer people who have finished their sentences." Healey's office has also not responded to my calls about this (and why would they) BUT maybe if a lot more of us call and keep calling, they'll get the drift. 617-725-4005

it is very simple folks. "unqualified DEI hire" is when you're not a white male, "merit-based promotion" is when you are a white male and also pete hegseth's personal assistant. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/u...
“We don’t talk about that out of respect for those officers,” he said. Instead, he spoke broadly of the need to correct for years of “gender and demographic engineering” that he asserted had blunted the effectiveness of U.S. troops on the battlefield.

In a break with protocol, Mr. Hegseth also urged senior Navy officials to include Capt. William Francis Jr., a Navy SEAL who serves as Mr. Hegseth’s special assistant, on the one-star list, current and former Navy officials said. Captain Francis’ lack of command experience made him ineligible for promotion under the board’s rules and he was not selected, officials said.

Note: Virginia supreme court justices are "re-elected" by state lawmakers, meaning the legislature chooses whether to reappoint them or replace them. Two of the four justices in the majority today against the new congressional map will be "up" by early 2028.

The Supreme Court is trying to *fast track* the elimination of Black Congresspeople in the upcoming midterms. Its destruction of the Voting Rights Act has devolved into a pure political power play for Republicans BY the Republicans on the Court. I explain in @thenation.com

The Supreme Court Just Made Its Voting Rights Ruling Even Worse
The court has fast-tracked its decision demolishing the VRA, helping southern states redraw their maps before the midterms.

NEW: In a brief filed with SCOTUS, civil rights groups contend that under the court’s own history of applying “the Purcell principle,” it is too late into the election season to suspend it. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Civil rights groups say Purcell principle prevents Louisiana from suspending elections when votes have already been cast
Black voters are pressing SCOTUS to apply the Purcell principle, which says voting rules and maps shouldn't be changed too close to an election.

There’s a staggering loophole in Georgia law that seems to say that, if a justice loses reelection, they could resign and cancel the election post facto. One of the 2 justices on the May ballot told Bolts they won’t do that. The other (=a Justice who upheld that loophole in 2020) didn’t answer.

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️
