Reposting some helpful links re systemic/ institutions racism, most from the specific agencies involved, since the last time, they were not organized in one thread. Starting with the criminal justice system: sentencingproject.org/publications/s…

Because of course.

@hakeemjeffries SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act, and Tennessee Republicans immediately went to work to take out Black representation. That should tell us everything. They were ready.

Trump tore down nearly half the White House, without approval, then told you this ballroom would not cost any taxpayer money. Now, Republicans are requesting $1 Billion of your money for security features related to it. #ballroominflation

Five months ago, Allan Dabrio Marrero was detained by ICE during a routine green card interview and transferred across multiple states. Today, through the assistance of my office’s triage center, we welcomed him back home. Allan’s story is a reminder that our immigration system is being weaponized against those simply trying to follow the rules. I will continue to use every tool in Congress to fight back and push for true accountability and reform.

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4a7l1TR

If there is ever a social phenomenon that needs to be studied, it is how the GOP has been able to hoodwink people for decades into thinking that they the party of “fiscal responsibility” when there is absolutely ZERO evidence to support that claim. And I mean ZERO.

It's a bit buried in legalese but this request essentially suggests Justice Alito lied yesterday when he said the Robinson appellants had not shown an interest in requesting a rehearing.

MAGA PASTOR Kevin Jones Who Wore Charlie Kirk’s “FREEDOM” Shirt In Sermon Arrested For Soliciting Minors. West Virginia news confirms Pastor Kevin Curtis Jones of Summit Church in Elkins was arrested for soliciting a minor via computer and distributing child exploitation material, with charges filed recently. NOT A DRAG QUEEN NOT TRANSGENDER NOT AN IMMIGRANT

Ma’am 🔥🔥🔥 “The Congressional Black Caucus is going to be making its way down to Louisiana… Clarence Thomas… should find a piece of his Black self and come on down to Louisiana with us.” @RepKamlagerDove “We will force a House vote on the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. These folks across the aisle…quote John Lewis all the time. They quote Dr. King… and they work actively to degrade their legacy and their work by trying to erase Black history, to erase Black voters, to erase Black progress, to erase Black people, but you cannot erase us.” @RepPressley

They're going after seashells. Read it, again. Children were raped and they're going after a restaurant term made with seashells. You think 47 put all these child rapists in his Cabinet for nothing? It's a fucking pedophile cult, including his wife.

It is good to see SCOTUS issue this stay to immediately restore access by mail to mifepristone.   But this fight is just beginning.   We will stop at nothing to prevent the Republicans from putting a national abortion ban into effect.

Seth Moulton: "Hegseth is an embarrassment to the troops. That's why they call him 'Ranger Pete,' because he's the only Army Major who's never been to Ranger School. The troops don't respect this guy."

Because we're "WINNING too much" -- seriously? Does he really think his base is that dumb?

Today, the Washington Post published an investigation into the use of force in ICE detention centers, based on a trove of leaked ICE records. They also released much of the data behind their story (more outlets need to do this). 🧵

I wonder how much more unpopular this would be if it was polled with the context that Trump’s family is getting military contracts.

The DOJ has lost more than a quarter of its lawyers, with 3,402 lawyers out of a total of 12,955 quitting or being fired. Once the world's largest employer of attorneys and a magnet for ambitious lawyers, the DOJ is now struggling to fill its ranks. ft.com/content/a1316a…

In news that will get very little coverage, Mariska Hargitay's "End the Backlog Campaign" achieves rape kit reform in ALL 50 states, DC, and Puerto Rico. It's women who are going to save us. Thank you Mariska Hargitay.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: “To actually be asked by the president to back off and not help [Epstein survivors] — that’s when MAGA died. That’s when the entire thing shattered for me. We spent 8 weeks shut down. By the way, that was to stop the Epstein resolution from getting a House vote. That’s what that shutdown was about”
