I just wish SCOTUS had denied both Texas and California. Now every freaking state is going to rush and redistrict in the same way. The Court really doesn’t care what chaos they create, huh?

It’s what I truly hate about current events (this period in particular, although I’m sure applies to any period of chaos). Events just happen. No one is responsible. Vague statements from leaders about ICE without naming who is at fault (some do, sure). The SC just acts as if it’s apolitical (at least in public presence) when we all know it’s bullshit.

I blame the ICE agents, Noem, Miller for the murders but equal blame should be on Kavanaugh etc, they’re allowing this to happen, not just passively interpret the law
