Now #TheAmericanFascist has appointed an 'envoy' to help convince Greenlanders to ditch Denmark and join the USA. Denmark is shocked and angered, as they should be. Greenlanders are wholly opposed.

There is poetic irony of a Louisiana politician being tapped to lead a "Greenland Purchase" by America. I very much doubt the result will be the same. But there are some interesting parallels.

Lousisiana Purchase (1808)
a) Made possible by squabbles and warring in Europe.
b) involved purchase of 2.14 million km2 of North America for $380 Million in 2024 dollars. Greenland is 2.17 million km2.

It's difficult to fathom just how undervalued the Louisana Purchase was...nevermind the whole — selling Indigenous Lands without Treaty — issue. But hey... that would be another parallel with today's Inuit and Greenland Peoples.

Back in the modern context, America's Fascists just want to do Fascist things like take over sovereign countries and oppress nations, not unlike Hitler, the Kaiser's Germany, the Napoleans, Imperial Britain, Conquistador-ist Spain, and Tsarist-Stalinist-Putinist Russia.

This all needs to be kept -- forefully if need be -- in the past. We cannot allow these regressive dictators to come back.

He must be stopped.

United States of America!
Americans!

Stop prancing around with Christmas presents as if nothing is happening and DEPOSE YOUR PRESIDENT ffs! This is ON YOU first and foremost!!

Jimmie Duncan spent 27 years on death row, convicted in part based on evidence experts now consider to be junk science.

But even after the overturning of his murder conviction and his release on bail, Louisiana still wants to execute him.

Louisiana’s governor eliminated parole for prisoners arrested after Aug. 1, 2024, and tightened eligibility rules for those arrested before.

Then he tossed those rules aside for one group: undocumented immigrants. Why? To have them deported.

In his ruling, Judge Garcia wrote that “it is impracticable, if not impossible, to prevent plaintiffs from being subjected to unwelcome religious displays” w/o stopping school districts from enforcing that #law.
The decision comes amid an ongoing battle over whether states can legally compel school districts to display the #TenCommandments. In June, a panel of judges on the US Court of Appeals for the #5thCircuit said a similar law in #Louisiana requiring postings was “plainly unconstitutional.”

#Trump has been forthright about his intention to bring about a #DeathPenalty renaissance, & now his efforts are coming to fruition. This yr has been a particularly lethal one for the #US’ #DeathRow prisoners. Together, #Alabama, #Arizona, #Florida, #Indiana, #Louisiana, #Mississippi, #Missouri, #Oklahoma, #SouthCarolina, #Tennessee, & #Texas have executed a total of 40 people in the past 10 months by injection, nitrogen hypoxia, & firing squad, surpassing 2024’s total of 25—a significant spike…

Arguments underway in #SCOTUS #VotingRightsAct case

#JohnRoberts first called on Janai Nelson of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund to present her argument. Nelson is representing Press Robinson & other #Black #Louisiana voters.

Nelson argues her opponents “seek stagging reversal of precedent that would throw maps across the country into chaos.”

#SCOTUS is hearing arguments Wednesday over a core provision of the #VotingRightsAct that is designed to protect racial minorities.

Lawyers for #Louisiana & the #Trump admin [the first admin ever to challenge the law] will try to persuade the justices to wipe away the state’s 2nd majority Black congressional district & make it much harder, if not impossible, to take account of #race in #redistricting.

Earlier, Justice #Kavanaugh gave #Louisiana’s lawyer an opportunity to push back on the #NAACP lawyer’s warning of “catastrophic” implications if the court strikes down §2 & the possibility that none of Louisiana’s 6 congressional districts would be majority-minority.

The state’s lawyer says, “I don’t know what our legislature would do,” but adds, “I don’t think the sky is going to fall.”

“It is a separate question as to how we go about remedying that, & the extent to which we need to use #race as a remedy,” Justice #Jackson added. “That’s the question we’re here on today.”

Up next is attorney Edward Greim for Phillip Callais & other #white #Louisiana voters.

In an animated discussion to close up Aguiñaga’s arguments, Justice #Jackson asked him to specify where in §2 another minority district was laid out as a potential solution.

As the #Louisiana solicitor general repeatedly referenced prior court interpretation of §2 as seeking to settle matters of “racial injustice,” Jackson interjected to note that such cases were “so tied up w/race because that’s the initial problem.”

#SCOTUS #law #VotingRights #VRA #CivilRights #ActivistCourt #WhiteSupremacy

#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.
