"The Baltimore Sun frequently employed prejudice as a tool of the times. It fed the fear and anxiety of white readers with stereotypes and caricatures that reinforced their erroneous beliefs about Black Americans." baltimoresun.com/opinion/editor…
The Sun editorial board: "Distrust of The Sun has been handed down through generations of Black Marylanders, deservedly so."
This Sun editorial includes incredible archival reporting — that reminds me of sections of @ClintSmithIII's similarly incredible book. Image
After all of that, it also essentially ends with an acknowledgement of work that remains.

A real must-read: baltimoresun.com/opinion/editor… Image

Mike Lee questions Nina Morrison, EDNY nominee and Innocence Project litigator, on whether prosecutorial misconduct has tainted "thousands" of cases over time.

(It has!)
Ted Cruz, unremarkably, was even worse than Lee.
Hawley is up, and he's doing the same. (Hawley's reliability on "law and order" is undercut by his view of the events of Jan. 6.) He's going after St. Louis DA Kim Gardner now (re-elected in 2020 by her constituents), who the Republican guys leading the state dislike.

Breaking: #SCOTUS blocks a lower court ruling that required Alabama to draw a new congressional map to prevent the dilution of Black people's votes under the Voting Rights Act. The vote was 5-4, with Roberts joining the more liberal justices in dissent. supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf… Image
Note that, as has been the case with Roberts before in these splits this past year, he does not necessarily join Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan on the substantive question. Here, he specifically questions the underlying voting rights precedent, but says that is the law now. Image
As I wrote last month at @gridnews, this is the Supreme Court now. (The "3-3-3 court" it ain't.) grid.news/story/politics… Image

I've been dealing with #SCOTUS this afternoon, so just seeing this.
This is irrelevant.

BREAKING: Supreme Court blocks enforcement of Biden administration OSHA workplace vaccine-or-test mandate and allows enforcement of HHS health care worker vaccine mandate.
The #SCOTUS ruling was 6-3 on blocking the OSHA workplace vaccine-or-test mandate, with the three Democratic appointees dissenting.
The ruling was 5-4 on allowing the HHS Medicaid/Medicare vaccine mandate, with Roberts & Kavanaugh joining Breyer, Sotomayor & Kagan to stay lower-court injunctions, allowing the rule to go into effect. Thomas & Alito both wrote dissents, joined by Gorsuch & Barrett.
