Alito “can act like a brain-poisoned hack on the bench for the same reason that he can shrug off his own household’s association with the most dangerous and demented MAGA conspiracy theorists: There will never be consequences for his offenses.” https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/05/alito-flag-supreme-court-justices-stop-the-steal-ethics-rules-pitiful.html

“In addition to blaming his wife, Alito failed to deny that the flag was displayed at his home — and effectively confirmed his awareness of it as an emblem of the same election denial efforts that fueled the deadly Capitol riot on January 6th.” https://www.takebackthecourt.today/press-release-snowflake-sams-attempt-at-damage-control-confirms-his-guilt

“I don’t find anything unusual about a fundamentalist theocrat who thinks the Bible is the supreme law of the land attending the legal proceedings of an adjudicated sexual assailant and world-class fraudster and con-man for cooking the books to cover up hush money payments he made to a porn star to conceal his adulterous affair,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin. “Do you?” https://www.thedailybeast.com/speaker-mike-johnson-is-the-next-suck-up-to-visit-trump-trial

“Prominent Republicans have seized on campus protests to assail what they say is antisemitism on the left. But for years they have mainstreamed anti-Jewish rhetoric.”

"In a July 2023 email to supporters, the Trump campaign employed an image that bears striking resemblance to a Nazi-era cartoon of a hook-nosed puppet master manipulating world figures: Mr. Soros as puppet master, pulling the strings controlling President Biden."

“The Times also found that House and Senate Republicans increasingly used 'Soros' and 'globalist' in ways that evoked the historical tropes, from just a handful of messages in 2013 to more than 300 messages from 79 members in 2023."

“Asked for evidence that undocumented immigrants vote heavily in federal elections, Johnson said it was just something everyone knows, while admitting nobody can prove it.”

No facts, just white nationalist vibes.

Fox’s migrants-displaced-vets source has been charged with defrauding military charities and the Veteran’s Administration and falsely claiming to be a Purple Heart recipient. Shocker: the network hasn’t mentioned any of it.

Stephen Miller planning the Great Purge: Recruit ‘red state’ deportation army of law enforcement and National Guard to round up immigrants, rip them from their homes and community, and forcibly deport them.

A preview of this deportation army is happening right in front of our eyes.

WIRED this month: “Far-right sheriffs want a citizen army to stop ‘illegal immigrant’ voters.” Of course, widespread non-citizen voting isn't a real thing.

On sheriff “told the audience that he already had a ‘posse’ of 150 deputized citizens.”

For Miller, these sheriffs are dream recruits for his deportation army. Harassing people of color has been a lifelong mission for him, as reported by Univision in 2017. Former classmates said Miller “used to make fun of the children of Latino and Asian immigrants who did not speak English well.”

“The White House is weighing ways to provide temporary legal status and work permits to immigrants in the U.S. illegally who are married to American citizens, three sources familiar with the matter said on Monday, a move that could energize some Democrats ahead of the November elections.”

“The case has become known as the ‘Stormy Daniels hush-money case,’ which has made it easier for the public to dismiss, because it seems like small potatoes. In fact, the argument that the prosecutors have made in court filings is focussed on something closer to election interference. The case is about Trump lying his way into office.”

Chef José Andrés: “This doesn't seem anymore a war about defending Israel. This really, at this point, seems it's a war against humanity itself."

“Andrés also rebuked the Biden administration’s supply of weapons to its longtime ally.

‘What the White House did this week ... It seemed like a very significant shift, saying there would be consequences if they didn't allow essentially more humanitarian aid and take more care of civilian lives. Were you satisfied with that statement?’ Raddatz asked.

‘I think 'there will be consequences' is part of the problem,’ Andrés responded. ‘[There] should be already consequences.’”

"’We cannot be winning a war, destroying the lifehoods of 2 million people,’ he added. ‘This is not a way to create safety for Israel. This is not the way to create safety for the Middle East. This is not the way to create safety for a better tomorrow.’

‘I don't believe in higher walls. I believe in longer tables,’ Andrés said. ‘What is good for me must be good for you.’”

Trump “boasted about speaking to members of a murder victim's family. It now appears he made that up.”

"... I’m trying to imagine what the reaction might be if President Joe Biden publicly declared that he’d spoken to a murder victim’s family members, only to have evidence emerge soon after that those interactions hadn’t happened."

NYC’s largest Girl Scout troop has welcomed hundreds of migrant girls, many of whom "have fled dire conditions in South and Central America and endured an arduous journey to the US."

"I am constantly being asked: Don't you find this a little too political?" said Meridith Maskara, CEO of the Girl Scouts of Greater New York. "If it has to do with young girls in New York City, then it's not political. It's our job."

JUST NOW: SCOTUS is allowing Texas to enforce its extreme “show me your papers” law.

If any folks think that only undocumented immigrants will be affected by , they are sadly mistaken. Governor Greg Abbott’s nativist crackdown has already been profiling and targeting US citizens.
