Dred Scott v. Sanford
A Brief History with Documents.
Paul Finkelman
Today the Supreme Court is debating the constitutionality of "birthright citizenship."
This was something that was settled law when the 14th amendment was passed.
But it was 169yrs ago today the Supreme Court decided that Blacks had "no rights the white man was bound to respect."

Every single person in the entire chain of command that massacred the schoolgirls in Minab, and that is currently carpet bombing Iranian civilians, needs to be tried and jailed in The Hague. Sick, depraved monsters drunk on imperial hubris.

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack
No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.
I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.

I have never been to California and will be in the LA area for the first time. Should I extend my trip and go to Disney? Should I extend my trip lying to myself saying I will go to Disney and then spend the extra day at some bookstores?

Trying to get a local newspaper article from 2013. I paid for subscription for $10. Add $3 to see a single 2013 article--it's a word doc with the text of the article copied. Useless. $13
I called the library from that town. This man finds the article and emails it to me. A 30 second call. $0

I fall back on being a smarmy asshole as a defensive mechanism, but I really did spend a good chunk of last night heaving over the toilet almost throwing up on the verge of tears after reading about this and then checking CNN and the front page story was about the six American soldiers killed.

Ever spend days trying to find some info?
Then finally you explain your days of research to the internet hoping for an expert to hop on and help --- only for some yokel to do the very first search you did and post that like it's in any way useful?
AI has turned every internet interaction to that.

Imaging a human saying to you, "i will only ever tell you what i think you want to hear, based on what i know about ppl like you, how you start our conversation, & what you say during it. Sometimes that will sound like truth, sometimes like errors or lies. Now: Let's talk about your medical history"

After Detention, Families Stranded in Border Town Face Harrowing Journey Home
Parents and children from a detention center in Texas found themselves dropped at a border town shelter with few means to leave.
Moving immigration abductees far from home as soon as possible is designed to cut them off from family, friends, and community resources. It also means that when people are released, it's into a strange place with no helpβand people are rising to meet that need around camps like Dilley.
