Clarence Thomas Just Struck Another Blow to Black Power In his majority ruling in a sleeper case about mail delivery, Thomas opened the door to a new way for Republicans to suppress the Black vote.

In an overlooked decision this week, the Supreme Court ruled that the post office can refuse to deliver your mail, which is KIND OF SIGNIFICANT if you choose to mail your ballot.
To do this work, the anti-democracy wing turned to their favorite β€œblack friend,” Clarence Thomas.

Trump would like the government he leads to pay him billions President Trump is asking the federal government for billions of dollars in damages, putting his own Justice Department on the spot and creating an unprecedented ethical morass.

The IRS already has all your income tax data – so why do Americans still have to file their taxes? A tax expert explains why the US continues to use such a complex and costly income tax system.

The IRS already knows what you need to pay in taxes – so why doesn’t it just tell you instead of putting you through a costly and tax-consuming reporting process?

Answer: Because Congress is catering to tax prep companies.

America is now at the heavily armed secret police doing warrantless door-to-door house raids in search of undesirable ethnicities and/or political dissenters stage. The difference from well known historical cases is down to scale.

Animal experiments mislead medical research and fail to predict human drug effects about 95% of the time.

Human-relevant methodsβ€”like organ-on-a-chip and AI modelingβ€”are safer and more accurate.

A woman was fatally shot by federal officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Wednesday, just days after the Trump administration deployed thousands of new immigration agents to the city. voxdotcom.visitlink.me/w_khiu?utm_s...

DHS and MAGA are spreading propaganda claiming the Minneapolis driver tried to run over ICE. That claim is completely false. Multiple videos from different angles (recorded by people on the scene) clearly show that this did not happen. ICE killed a US citizen. Justice is required for this killing.

We condemn ICE's killing of a Minneapolis woman today and call on federal agents to withdraw from Minnesota immediately.

This tragedy is further proof that ICE is out of control, endangering our communities, and must end its lawless operations before anyone else is brutally hurt or killed.

"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries.
"We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.
