Like, this decision isn't really about the *law*. The conservatives don't like the policy, and so they killed it, overturning their own precedent because that precedent was 20 years ago and they've decided enough time has passed.

as expected, the court has inverted the 14th. an amendment written explicitly to directly ameliorate the conditions of race hierarchy becomes in conservative hands an amendment that says it’s illegal to try to directly ameliorate the conditions of race hierarchy https://t.co/CeklyHtyBr

Bidenomics is real. It is a revolutionary. And it is producing better lives for Americans. By focusing on it, Biden is doing something else radical. He is not pandering or lying as his opponents do. He is running on the truth of his record. https://t.co/yKWgibXpDi

"Detained" Russian general's hostage-like performance. Do Svidaniya and avoid windows --
General Surovikin’s whereabouts are still unclear, though @MoscowTimes says he’s been arrested. The last time we saw him was on Saturday when he appeared in this video, calling on Wagnerites to turn back. He sounds drugged or drunk. A very odd performance.

General Surovikin has a “window of opportunity” to confess his crimes.
