HOW IS IT THIS HARD TO BUY A NEWSPAPER IN THIS CITY

The concurrence relegates the interests of U. S. citizens and individuals with legal status to a single sentence, positing that the Government will free these individuals as soon as they show they are legally in the United States. Ante, at 8 (opinion of KAVANAUGH, J.). That blinks reality. Two plaintiffs in this very case tried to explain that they are U. S. citizens; one was then pushed against a fence with his arms twisted behind his back, and the other was taken away from his job to a warehouse for further questioning. More fundamentally, it is the Government’s burden to prove that it has reasonable suspicion to stop someone. The concurrence improperly shifts the burden onto an entire class of citizens to carry enough documentation to prove that they deserve to walk freely. The Constitution does not permit the creation of such a second-class citizenship status.

Justice Sotomayor, not mincing words, also says that today's decision will lead to the "creation of [] a second-class citizenship status" for Latinos, who now will have the burden to "carry enough documentation to prove that they deserve to walk freely."

why does everyone think it’s happening

do stephen miller next

Do you get President Trump if you don't have Peter Thiel funding Hulk Hogan's sex tape lawsuit that shut down Gawker? I say it's a straight line from one to the other.

shout out to The Iron Sheik

Feel better soon, @darthbluesky.bsky.social!

After resigning in disgrace, Cuomo attacked the women he harassed with vexatious, punitive legal filings meant to bankrupt and humiliate them, and threatened to sue them for defamation. He wanted them to shut up. At great personal risk, they didn’t.

Can Brad please run for NY 10

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

NYC: if you can get to Federal Plaza near the Brooklyn Bridge/City Hall subway stops, come support Brad Lander, the latest Dem politician to be manhandled/detained by ICE for no legal reason. Zohran Mamdani is there in support of his fellow mayoral candidate. NYT's darling Cuomo nowhere in sight.

Brad Lander, NYC comptroller and mayoral candidate, is arrested outside immigration court New York City comptroller and Democratic mayoral candidate Brad Lander has been arrested at a federal building in Manhattan as he was trying to accompany a person out of an immigration courtroom.

what is it called when people who aren't cops and don't have a warrant drag you away, because I don't think "arrest" is the word

Seniors in Salt Lake City heading out for a #nokingsprotest in front of their assisted living facility.

Yeah it's really something to see a U.S. senator being hit with the same impossible compliance demands that the cops scream at people before shooting them during a stop

More people should be talking about the utter freak that is Stephen Miller and his white nationalist worldview. He's the architect behind most of this chaos as Trump is golfing, falling asleep during meetings, making money of memecoins and tripping while climbing stairs.

Audra on a full 20 out of 10.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Fired a black person who was qualified, hired a white person with no qualifications whatsoever. The Trump administration in a nutshell bsky.app/profile/axio...

Robert Francis Prevost, now Leo XIV, was named the first American pope of the Catholic Church on Thursday - and his lineage traces back to New Orleans, according to Jari Honora, a local genealogist and historian. When Honora heard the last name "Prevost," he started sleuthing to find out if Leo XIV's paternal lineage might be French Canadian or even Acadian. What he found, to his surprise, was that Prevost's mother, Mildred Martinez, was "entirely from New Orleans," Honora said. In less than an hour, Honora - who works for The Historic New Orleans Collection — was able to track the pope's maternal ancestry to the 7th Ward. The pope has "Creole of color roots" on his mother's side, Honora wrote in a Facebook post. Leo XIV, 69, was born and raised in Chicago and has said that was open to religious life because neighborhood priests were always in and out of his childhood home, as his mother often fed them. "Now we know why her cooking was so good," Honora said. "Both (of her parents) were from New Orleans."

He said Joseph claimed Haiti as his birthplace, “which could very much be true, given the back-and-forth that has always existed between New Orleans and Haiti." Or, Honora said, "he could have deeper New Orleans roots - still working on that." The historian also found that in 1900, the young couple bought a home at 1933 North Prieur Street, a site later demolished due to the construction of the Claiborne Avenue overpass. The family then moved to Chicago about 10 years later, where the pope's mother was born. "Martinez's older brothers and sisters were all born in New Orleans, in the 7th Ward," Honora said. “They moved to Chicago between 1910 and 1912, and like so many Louisiana families, they shifted their racial identity. They moved to a big metropolis and go about what people assume you are." U.S. Rep. Troy Carter, D-New Orleans, expressed excitement Wednesday about the pope's apparent ties to the city. "The news that the first American Pope has roots here in New Orleans, with ancestral ties to our Creole and Haitian families, is nothing short of extraordinary," he said.

More details here: Prevost’s paternal grandfather is from Haiti and his paternal grandmother’s name was Baque. His family switched racial identities when they moved north.
