If Justice Thomas’s radical concurrence in the Puerto Rico case becomes law, equal protection and substantive due process principles would cease being applicable to the U.S. Government — the very view that led to Robert Bork’s 58-42 Senate defeat in 1987

Dark money is poison to a free & fair democracy. It’s time to pass my DISCLOSE Act and close this wretched chapter of American politics.

If I told you in early 2020 that there’d be a time when our nation, liberals and conservatives alike, would ignore rising COVID numbers and declare the pandemic over, you’d have thought I was nuts. But that’s where we are, @mehdirhasan says, we are not all in this together:

Retweeted by Eddie S. Glaude Jr. We have failed our children. Still no vaccine for <5 yo; no therapeutics for <12. Crowded classrooms without masks or other basic risk mitigation. More than 200,000 COVID orphans; many more with lifelong physical or mental health effects. What happened to putting children first?

JERUSALEM (AP) — Medics say 117 Palestinians wounded in clashes with Israeli police at major Jerusalem holy site.
Retweeted by Eddie S. Glaude Jr. Israel raids Jerusalem’s holiest mosque attacking worshippers during prayers on a Friday in the middle of Ramadan… so of course the media kick into gear with the “clashes erupt” headlines that obfuscate what’s happening. We never learn.
Retweeted by Eddie S. Glaude Jr. “It’s…important for us to talk about [the fatal police shooting of Patrick Lyoya] in the context of the panic, moral panic,” says @esglaude, “around rising crime and how that has informed the way in which the country has fallen back into a certain conception of policing.”
Retweeted by Eddie S. Glaude Jr. FWIW, the 20R-8D DeSantis gerrymander would dilute the votes of Black communities in St. Petersburg, Orlando and North FL to benefit Rs in ways that previous courts have struck down. We’ll see what the new, more conservative FL Supreme Court (and possibly SCOTUS) say. twitter.com/MappingFL/stat…
Retweeted by Eddie S. Glaude Jr. The video is just horrifying. My heart goes out to #PatrickLyoya’s family. Another ofcr who believes that execution is an appropriate & legal response to resisting arrest. It is not. So here we go. Again. twitter.com/AttorneyCrump/…
Retweeted by Eddie S. Glaude Jr. New: Body camera and cell phone video released today from Grand Rapids police in Michigan shows when an officer fatally shot Patrick Lyoya, a 26-year-old Black man, in the back of the head at close range as Lyoya was pinned on the ground.

Retweeted by Eddie S. Glaude Jr. We must be mindful of “the seduction of normalcy.” There is NOTHING normal about our current moment. Acting as if it is would be the equivalent of fiddling while Rome burns.
NEW: Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves has signed a proclamations declaring April 2022 as Confederate Heritage Month.

Retweeted by Eddie S. Glaude Jr. Lastly, we can’t approach the midterms and 2024 as if this is just politics as usual. Democracy is on the line. One wonders if we care as much about THAT.
Rep. Murphy expresses her concern about a socialist takeover by the left and the poll data reveals a deep concern about inflation. The cry of socialism is a red herring to maintain the status quo. And the status quo doesn’t give a damn about everyday people. Madness!
Many economists claimed that the Build Back Better legislation would have helped reduce inflation, but we heard cries from the opposition of the threat of a “socialist” takeover. Now there is the complaint that the Democrats aren’t addressing inflation. It’s maddening.
I keep thinking, and I know it is a bit abstract, that we are suffocating under the weight of 18th/19th century sins…still.
