I can’t understand why nobody else has made a comment yet! I’m so incensed by judges on the Supreme Court—the highest court in the land, mind you—completely ignoring the Constitution!! WTF?? How can we trust anything they do now? The only ones with any honor and integrity to their oaths to the Constitution are 3 women of color!! I wish that judgements could stop at the lower courts where there are thinking, honest men and women who have not forgotten their oaths to the Constitution. It seems like only in blue states can cops actually get arrested and punished for profiling then killing a black man like what happened in Minneapolis. But now even that’s not true because of this judgement. Yes, there are many kind and honest cops and maybe even some in ICE, tho I would hope they would have left that authoritarian agency by now, but the Supreme Court 6 has now made it ok to racially profile, beat the crap out of anyone—one who just might be a citizen—because they have made profiling legal. Remember—most of our indigenous folks are brown, and many from Mexico are indigenous to this continent too. Think about it. I don’t know my country anymore. I’m 72, I want my country back.

I haven't commented because I'm speechless.

The Supreme Court along with Trump, Vance, the Republican Congress, the Trump/Vance administration and their billionaire financiers are conspiring to weaken and destroy the USA from within, which has long been the objective of Russia and other enemies of the USA. They are trampling the rights of all Americans. They are supporting Russia's murderous assault on civilians in Ukraine and protecting child sex traffickers, some of whom are among them and financing their traitorous activities. It's past time to get louder and more action! At the very least be active and loud enough to let your representatives know how you feel. They are supposed to work for the people!

There are six treasonist B*stereds sitting on the Supreme Court who have thrown our Constitution to the wayside.

But what about if the "AI" is the one that's taking your job? Bill Gates =Microsoft already cut 6,000 jobs

in the engineering departmen and recently cut another 9,000 jobs .

More than 100 companies announces massive layoffs

due to the (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act)

@Marie Riveron I just send this note lo a "Influencer"

(Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act).

You didn't mention the entity responsible for a large percentage of unemployment, which will become the main reason for all the ills you mention,

"AI." is the main reason.

Bill Gates' Microsoft laid off 6,000 software engineers and a few months ago, it laid off 9,000 more. Another 100 companies like Walmart are "massively" laying off the workforce, including all that number of young people. And I can't even send you a copy of the names of the companies covered by:

(Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act).

Is there an error in the article? It says: "Let’s be clear. This is stop and frisk only." Should that read: "Let’s be clear. This is NOT stop and frisk only"?

"This is stop and frisk only, instead of maybe a night in jail, someone can be given a one-way trip to a nation they’ve never even heard of, and we will never know who they were, what they are accused of, their actual status, where they went, and what happened to them there." Probably a punctuation issue. My intention was that like stop and frisk, the stop is based on racial profiling, but the outcome could be far more final and less clear. Stupid commas.

Commas were never my strong point. I should trust grammerly a bit more, perhaps ;)
