#SCOTUS remade by #Trump ushers in historic defeats for #CivilRights
The court is the first since at least the ’50s to reject claims in a majority of cases involving #women & “#minorities”.
The shift ends a streak of successive courts expanding protections beginning with the civil rights era. But the historic nature of the current court is also evident in other key areas of the #law over the 5 terms since the 3rd of Trump’s appointees joined the bench.
#SCOTUS kills #VotingRights
The Supreme Court’s decision to upend a key provision of the #VotingRightsAct [#VRA] has plunged the nation into a dizzying new era of partisan conflict, most likely ushering in a forever #redistricting war that could produce fewer competitive seats in #Congress & further #polarize #US politics.

Appeals court orders judge to end contempt investigation of #Trump admin #deportation flights
A federal judge must end his “intrusive” contempt investigation of the Trump admin for failing to comply with an order over flights carrying Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador last year, a divided appeals court panel ruled Tuesday.

if #MAGA #GOP #Republicans were doing this in #PuertoRico, trust that they had the same vote-buying scheme across all USA prisons.
as i have said before: Puerto Rico is the fascist gringolarchy’s #civilRights #humanRights #abuses and #genocide laboratory.
go look up Wikipedia for how gringos killed Don Pedro Albizu Campos, the afroboricua leader of our decolonization and independence movement.
the fascism they do there is a trial run for how they’ll do it here & elsewhere.

After a year-long “investigation”, the #Trump #DOJ concluded that #Yale School of Medicine “discriminated” based on race in its admissions, favoring Black & Hispanic applicants over White & Asian ones, the agency said Thursday.

I wrote to my senators over two months ago strongly advocating for due process for all. If we don't have due process, we don't really have rights; the government can just disappear anybody at any time.
I finally heard back from Senator Jim Banks. He did not address any of the points I made, or even the topic of due process and civil rights. Instead he sent a 6800-word screed vilifying immigrants and thanking Trump for securing the border. He finished by naming Renee Goode and Alex Pretty and blaming their deaths on activists:
"... sustained vilification of ICE agents and federal officers creates a dangerous environment. When elected officials and activists portray law enforcement as the enemy, it undermines public safety and puts officers and civilians at risk."
We need elected officials who support civil rights and democracy.
Write your senators and representatives and be sure to VOTE in November.

My look at the latest #TrumpAdministration horror: "#OMB’s proposed rule explicitly bars funding for anything connected to #diversity, equity and inclusion. It even seeks to police the actions and behavior of funding recipients on their own time, cutting off money to anyone affiliated with a group the administration considers 'anti-American,' defined so vaguely that it could mean anything the party in power doesn’t like. That could be membership in a #CivilRights organization, an #environmental group or a group supporting #LGBTQ people." https://48hills.org/2026/06/politicized-federal-funding-rule-could-spell-disaster-for-california-aid-programs/
Trump said Wednesday that #ICE should continue traffic stops after 2 deadly #shootings in 1 week, contradicting new policy to halt them. To remove criminals from the country, “we CANNOT give up one of ICE’s most important and effective Crime Fighting tools, THE TRAFFIC STOP!” Trump posted on social media.

Happy birthday to Frederick Allen Hampton Sr.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Hampton
Today he would have celebrated his 78th. Except the U.S. government ended his life at the age of 21. Simply for seeking equality for Black Americans.
Fred founded the Rainbow Coalition. An organization intended to create class solidarity, with a focus on marginalized people. He aimed to unite poor and working-class people across racial lines against shared oppression.
https://www.pbs.org/independentlens/documentaries/the-first-rainbow-coalition
They intentionally murdered him in what is called a “justifiable homocide.” That such a thing exists is an atrocity.
