"Color is neither a poison nor a crime." - U.S. District Judge Trina Thompson

"In the ruling, the judge rebuked Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem over her statements that cast undocumented immigrants as "invaders" or "criminals," saying they "perpetuate the discriminatory belief that certain immigrant populations will replace the white population."

"Although the Secretary’s statements ‘may appear innocent or only mildly offensive to one who is not a member of the targeted group,’ the statements are ‘in reality . . . intolerably abusive or threatening when understood from the perspective of a plaintiff who is a member of the targeted group'," Thompson said."

Raw Story · 'Color isn't a poison': Kristi Noem hit with scathing rebuke as court blocks Trump adminBy Daniel Hampton
Continued thread

At the close of a long July for The Skinny on both a personal, and professional level, we managed to squeeze in one last newsletter collecting and cleaning up the best of my blog analysis, for the period of July 21st to 31st.

I don't imagine you'll be surprised to learn the news was pretty grim as our fascist government really got down to the business of embracing terrible friends, and marking out internal enemies. Our horrifying ethnic cleansing project kept surging forward with the only limit to how many brown people we're willing to lock up appearing to be how many people we can physically cram in cages and improvised holding areas inside our concentration camps. DHS wants the police to treat anti-Gestapo activism as a form of terrorism, Trump is making Medicaid spy on you for the nazis, and Trump wants to lock up unhoused people all over the country. Along the way we also talked about why the Paramount-Skydance merger is looking like a Pork Reich political project, what it might (or might not) mean that Trump is waffling on Israel's engineered famine in Gaza, and checked in on the expanding global gulag the regime is creating through deals with dangerous third countries to accept trafficked US prisoners being "deported."

Yeah, a good time was *not* had by all.

The Skinny: Friends and Enemies

"Painting resistance to the mass deportation program as inherently criminal, the DHS threat warning conjures up a picture of a coordinated, media-driven conspiracy to turn Americans against the agency; rather than resistance being an obvious consequence of the Gestpo’s blatantly fascist, and often entirely illegal activities on the streets of America. The real purpose of the threat memo becomes clear however when you realize what the Gestapo is advising police to look out for and protect them from, which very obviously includes protestors, observers filming Gestapo activities, and literally people posting online about this fascist bullshit."

"Les Palestiniens méprisent les tribunaux. Nous détestons voir un juge, sachant trop bien qu'il n'est pas différent de l'interrogateur. Nous détestons la loi et tout ce qu'elle représente dans notre contexte : un outil d'oppression déguisé en légalité. Même les avocats, peut-être universellement détestés, suscitent notre méfiance. Mais pour nous, les tribunaux représentent plus qu'une frustration ; ils sont le lieu où nos conditions oppressives sont traduites en langage juridique, où le poids de la domination coloniale est officialisé avec un vernis de légitimité."

Abdaljawad Omar, in “The ICC warrants: Palestinian skepticism and the glimpse of justice,” mondoweiss.net/2024/11/the-icc

Mondoweiss · The ICC warrants: Palestinian skepticism and the glimpse of justicePalestinians hold deep skepticism of courts based on generations of Israeli abuse. But the ICC warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant are a moment to expose the contradictions of the American Empire and put a crack in the veneer of impunity.

According to sources, you can't move someone with a Public Safety Factor (PSF) designation - which Maxwell had - without waiving it.
