*By the way, this has a rhyme from the past.

Grung_e_Gene, who happens to work in law enforcement, ain’t buying the Trump maladministration’s attempt to justify lynchings extra-judicial killings by ICE. Here’s a bit from his post:

Yet, again the Gestapho imitators at ICE have launched an attack on a person not committing a crime, in unmarked vehicles, while not in uniform, wearing regular clothing, while masked, guns drawn, seemingly without identifying themselves, using their vehicles as a weapon, and thus ended up executing a man.

Farron reports on a federal judge who called out the Trump maladministration’s overt racism.

Ring of Fire’s Josh Gay discusses a Trump-appointed judge’s ruling against Florida Man’s attempt to control what college professors teach.

Michael in Norfolk looks at how Trump and the Trumpettes are reacting to the Supreme Supremacist Court’s decision to uphold the U. S. Constitution–specifically birthright citizenship–and points out what should be obvious to anyone who has been paying attention:

Despite what they may say, one of the underlying motivation for the MAGA base – and the Felon and his minions – is racism.

Michael in Norfolk calls out the goal of the unholy alliance between Trump and right-wing Christians:

It’s an agenda long pushed by far right “Christians” who want nothing less than a de facto theocracy with themselves in charge. Ironically, these same people rail against Iran’s Islamic theocracy and its abuse of citizens even as they seek to impose a theocracy of their own that will abuse and marginalize those who do not subscribe to their hate and fear based beliefs.

According to an article in The Hill, the Squeaker of the House thinks that Congress can find some way to amend the Constitution all on its ownsome in the face of the Supreme Supremacist Court’s ruling that Donald Trump does not have the power to amend it himself.

The Squeaker points to the scourge of “birth tourism,” which, according to figures in the article, amounts to approximately 0.7% of babies born in the U. S. every year–this from the same people who are claiming that too few babies are born in the U. S. every year.

Left unsaid is what’s truly behind the Republican panic propaganda about this issue. Left unsaid is their actual selling point:

• Far too many these babies may be (gasp!) Not White.

They’re selling hate, and they have far too many eager buyers.

Survivors of America’s World War II Japanese internment camps look at the Trump maladministration’s concentration camps detention centers and hear a rhyme.

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.
