At Above the Law, Joe Patrice that todays Supreme Supremacist Court has openly exchanged its robes black robes for white (my phrasing, not his).

No summary or excerpt can do his piece justice (just like today’s Supreme Supremacist Court can’t seem to do justic–oh, never mind). Just go read it.

American Stasi, Privatization Scam Dept. 0

Scripps News’s Patrick Terpstra follows the money. A snippet:

As the federal government sought more bed space, the private detention system grew faster, especially in the Texas desert where Scripps News discovered an unmarked plane offloading handcuffed immigrants at the El Paso airport. Some of the detainees were still wearing their work shirts.

ICE was bringing them to Camp East Montana, the nation’s largest immigration detention center. An obscure company called Acquisition Logistics LLC won a $1.2 billion no-bid contract to stand up the soft-sided facilities designed to house thousands of migrants.

A Notion of Immigrants 0

Via The Japan Times, Justin Fox debunks the racist bigots’ bunk. A snippet:

This is a persistent theme in current right-wing commentary about immigration — that recent arrivals to the U.S. aren’t working hard, aren’t following the law and generally aren’t fitting in as past generations of immigrants did. It’s also a load of hooey.

It appears that the Trump maladministration now wants to militarize our national park rangers (and, according to the report, retired park rangers do not take kindly to the idea).

Honest to Betsy, we are governed by ten-year olds using government personnel paid with our tax money in order to play toy soldiers.

We are again reminded that “suffer the children” is not scripture.

Rather, it’s a Republican family value.

Via SFgate, a federal judge has ruled in favor of a coalition of groups suing to stop the Trump maladministration’s attempt to erase those portions of American history that it doesn’t like. Here’s a bit from the ruling:

“Plaintiff has demonstrated a likelihood that Defendants’ efforts, ostensibly taken in the name of restoring dignity, instead seek to rewrite the Nation’s history with a white-out pen,” the court order read.

The story goes on the report that (no surprises here) the Trump maladministration is consdiering an appeal.
