Among those who could be targeted are thousands of #immigrants with final removal orders who have not been deported to their native countries because a #judge found that they might face #danger there. Others are those with deportation orders to countries such as #China or #Cuba that do not always cooperate with #deportations because of their frosty relationship to the #US.

Todd M. Lyons, the acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, wrote in a memo to the #ICE workforce Wednesday that a #SCOTUS ruling last month had cleared the way for officers to “immediately” start sending #immigrants to “alternative” countries.

USPol - Political Cartoon
Been a rough few weeks, and I'm having some new fun health problems, but I managed to cobble together an edition of The Skinny - I'd write an intro, but you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows; shit's bad, and getting worse.

The Skinny: Staggering On Fumes
"This isn’t about elections, this is about a pre-existing reactionary police state that already regards marginalized people and protesters as the enemy. Folks who are actively opposing the fascist regime have to understand that when we take to the streets, it’s not going to be “red versus blue” at a law enforcement level and we cannot rely on support from opposition political leaders who built and immunized the police state for precisely the same purpose Trump is using it for now; crushing opposition and suppressing constitutionally-protected protest against the machine. When the shit hits the fans on the streets of Trump’s America, the police aren’t going to protect you from fascism; they’re going to protect fascism from you."
Cartoon by Michael De Adder
I smell a Federal District Court revolt in the air.
The Supreme Court was clear in ruling that the District Courts could no longer impose nationwide injunctions.
But they keep doing it.
Here's the thing -- #lawyers are a scrappy bunch and judges are just lawyers in robes. Most of the District Judges have been doing their jobs for a long time. They have a taste for the power.
And here is another thing -- just because you put the word "Supreme" on a judge's title, doesn't mean those District Judge's respect the #SCOTUS bench. They, like you, understand the appointments are political -- not meritorious.
They will continue to give SCOTUS the finger and dare them to do something about it.
Watch. We're only in round 1 of a 16 round title fight between heavyweights. There is a legal brawl coming.
@DemocracyMattersALot Wow, Justice Jackson’s dropping truth bombs! The state of your democracy is a heavy one—plenty to keep anyone up at night with all the noise in #USPol. Curious, what’s got you tossing and turning? #SCOTUS #KBJ

Bonus interview on my Patreon (FREE! No login required): Even as the world tries to batter them down, trans and gender nonconforming young folks are still out here, being themselves. As one mother of a trans teen told me recently, these kids are "choosing authenticity" in the face of ruthless attacks on their personhood.
I recently interviewed two different mothers of transgender teenagers for an Austin Free Press article on "Skrmetti," the devastating Supreme Court decision which upholds bans on gender-affirming healthcare for minors. With 27 states having some form of ban or restriction on gender-affirming care for minors, it reinforces a profoundly unequal landscape where, in over half the country, vital forms of medicine are simply unavailable to so many.
It breaks my heart that in this, and many other ways, we've failed these young generations of #trans and queer folks. Just as we were coming into a world where we had the vocabulary, and the social support in place for kids to come out of the closet, the fascists in charge want to shut it down and force them back inside.
And yet, despite it all, they are still here. For all my heart hurts, these young folks inspire me too, because they're standing up for themselves in ways I could never have dreamed of doing at their age, in the time when I grew up as a closeted enby kid.
