The Supreme Court Just Let ICE Detain Americans Based on Race (slate.com)

On Monday, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to use racial profiling in its militarized immigration raids across Los Angeles, halting an injunction that had barred officers from targeting Latinos based on ethnicity. The court did not explain the reason for its shadow docket order, which appeared to split 6–3 along ideological lines. In dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor warned that the decision was “unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation’s constitutional guarantees,” opening the door to violent persecution of Latinos—including American citizens—by “masked agents with guns.” The majority did not respond to this extraordinary charge, perhaps because it is so obviously true.

We already knew continually selling the party as we are better than the other guys while constantly ratcheting to the right was not enough to win elections.

The right is offering Solutions and we know the voters do not know any better. We are not, that we is everybody not supporting the right wing.

It is not a new phenomena that voters have been seduced to the dark side and led into alternate realities. Not just the right wing either. The Democratic sheep are just as responsible for what is happening due to my effort mentioned arguments.

They knew what we were facing and they refused to change. Now the political monster they declined to stop will destroy them, if Democrats were stealing elections for decades systematically, they would have to be punished.

Any assurances they have gotten from Republican power Brokers that that is just performative mean nothing.

I predict indictments will come down this time of the year in 2027 on the Democrats for bogus election rigging charges.

It isn't the people who refuse to change. Given understanding and choice most people would choose socialism (not the bullshit socialist boogieman sold by the rich and powerful but actual socialism) over 0.1% of people owning everything and everyone else barely surviving. The people need to tear down the system, to take back all the money that has been stolen by the 0.1% and to rebuild the society to benefit the workers, not the wealthy. I read that if wealth were distributed evenly in the US that every person would have half a million dollars of personal wealth.

People do still trust the doomed to fail establishment dems though. No pushback on annointing kamala on bad faith arguments that 4 months was not enough time. Not a single challenger.

No challenge for senate leadership, none for house as new leader was handpicked by old.

The party is broken. On the prez no one would cross the establishment, afraid of bad faith bigotry allegations of stepping over the first minority woman, nevermind she was unpopular across the board, never breaching 30 pc approval, offered no real reform, attacked no one s rewing us.

I am done trying to help these people. I want to help real leaders that can win.

So you're supporting Trump and the fascists? They can clearly win.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago

Those supporting the Democratic establishment unwilling and unable to do what is necessary to take the country back from the fascists let alone fix anything are the ones supporting the fascists.

Ignorance is no excuse for betraying America either, I'm very disappointed in you.
