  1. A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

    He had not learned that the majority in a democracy has no more right to tyrannize over a minority than, under a different system, the latter would have to oppress the former; and that, if there is a moral principle at stake, the saying that the voice of the people is the voice of God may be quite as untrue, and do quite as much mischief, as the old theory of the divine right of kings. The distinguishing feature of our American governmental system is the freedom of the individual; it is quite as important to prevent his being oppressed by many men as it is to save him from the tyranny of one.

    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
    Thomas Hart Benton, ch. 6 (1886)

    TITLE: Justice Department Sues University of California Over Alleged Antisemitism

    URL: socialpsychology.org/client/re

    Source: United Press International - Health News

    Federal prosecutors are suing the University of California, alleging civil rights violations were committed in connection with pro-Palestinian campus protests—the latest lawsuit by the Trump administration, which has targeted universities over issues from anti-Semitism to their hiring practices. The lawsuit, filed Tuesday, focuses on an encampment erected on the UCLA campus in April 2024 as protests erupted across the U.S. against Israel's war...

  13. The ruling further confuses the electoral landscape across the #South, as #Republican-led legislatures have raced to implement new district lines after #SCOTUS narrowed the #VotingRightsAct of 1965. It also demonstrates how the ruling from the nation’s highest court has further muddled how lower courts interpret the landmark #CivilRights #law.

  23. I wrote to my senators over two months ago strongly advocating for due process for all. If we don't have due process, we don't really have rights; the government can just disappear anybody at any time.

    I finally heard back from Senator Jim Banks. He did not address any of the points I made, or even the topic of due process and civil rights. Instead he sent a 6800-word screed vilifying immigrants and thanking Trump for securing the border. He finished by naming Renee Goode and Alex Pretty and blaming their deaths on activists:

    "... sustained vilification of ICE agents and federal officers creates a dangerous environment. When elected officials and activists portray law enforcement as the enemy, it undermines public safety and puts officers and civilians at risk."

    We need elected officials who support civil rights and democracy.

    Write your senators and representatives and be sure to VOTE in November.

  24. "Suicides rise in ICE detention; 911 calls detail serious cases of self-harm
    More than 1,000 emergency calls were made over the last year from at least six detention centers around the country, according to call logs "
