Advocates say some tactics used by officers to target Latinos in Trump’s deportation effort draw from Joe Arpaio’s playbook.
“The model was Maricopa County — the very public, very humiliating, demoralizing approach to the raids, and the cruelty.”

#Gorsuch appeared skeptical of Nelson’s argument, pressing her on how & when race can be used in the drawing of maps. His questions cut to the heart of the questions the justices are considering today.
“You’re saying sometimes acceptable for a federal district court to order a map that intentionally discriminates on the basis of race?” he asked. The #Louisiana maps at issue today weren’t drawn by a judge, but courts can order maps re-drawn under the #VRA.
Nelson pushed back. It’s not #discrimination for states to keep race in mind as they draw voting districts to comply with the #VRA & ensure representation for minority votes, she argued.
Under questioning from Justice Elena #Kagan, Nelson describes as “catastrophic” the impact of Secton 2 of the #VotingRightsAct ceasing to prevent vote dissolution, including in legislative districts beyond #Congress.

Addressing the room full of the #US’ top #generals & #admirals, summoned from around the world w/o explanation last week, #Hegseth defended his #firings of #FlagOfficers, which include the top US general, a #Black man, & the #Navy's top admiral, a #woman.
He said the officers he relieved were part of a “broken culture”.

#Hegseth promised sweeping changes to how #discrimination complaints are handled & how accusations of #wrongdoing [#WarCrimes, #rape, etc] are investigated at the #Pentagon, saying the current system has top brass walking on "egg shells."
"If the words I'm speaking today are making your hearts sink, then you should do the honorable thing & resign," Hegseth said.
"I know the overwhelming majority of you feel the opposite. These words make your hearts full."

Following the attack on Pearl Harbor in World War II, the U.S. government sent those of Japanese ancestry to internment camps in remote areas. Eighty years later, many see troubling echoes of that time. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/04/japan/wwii-japanese-americans-internment-history/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #wwii #japaneseamericans #internment #discrimination
BON le personnel de l'Eurostar est vraiment pas sympa ! Le contrôleur vient d'envoyer salement bouler un touriste perdu qui voulait un renseignement. Un autre m'a sèchement fait savoir que je devais mettre mon vélo à l'autre bout du train et plus vite que ça svp. Et maintenant ils refusent qu'un gars en fauteuil roulant s'installe à la place prévue parce que ça risque de retarder le départ. Dans l'immédiat je ne sais pas trop quoi faire, mais on peut signaler ça à qui ?
