Wisconsin federal judge ordered a temporary halt to a $4 billion race-based federal relief program for farmers


A Wisconsin federal judge ordered a temporary halt to a $4 billion race-based federal relief program for farmers on Thursday.
A group of White farmers had filed a lawsuit arguing the policy discriminates against them.

Milwaukee District Judge William Griesbach issued a temporary restraining order, noting the White farmers "are likely to succeed on the merits of their claim" that the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA)
"use of race-based criteria in the administration of the program violates their right to equal protection under the law…The obvious response to a government agency that claims it continues to discriminate against farmers because of their race or national origin is to direct it to stop: it is not to direct it to intentionally discriminate against others on the basis of their race and national origin,….

As Chief Justice John Roberts said so many years ago
the way  to end discrimination is to stop discriminating

DUH!

White fragility knows no bounds.

Amazing when atrocities are perpetrated on a people the cry is “Never forget!”and EVERYONE can nod in agreement because it must never happen again.

Yet, when black folks are the ones who have been greatly harmed the general response is, “Get over it.”

”As Chief Justice John Roberts said so many years ago

Yeah, John Roberts, the same dickhead who said racism is over as he gutted the VRA in 2013.

The GOP only has one game plan.

Be scared, white people, be scared.

Leave it to Bill Maher to shine a light into the dark corner of leftist bull shit.



HBO's Real Time host, Bill Maher, monologued on progressives' view that progress has not been made in the United States on cultural issues, such as race relations and gay marriage. Maher called those on the left who believed that the United States lacked any progress had "progressophobia," meaning "a brain disorder that strikes liberals and makes them incapable of recognizing progress."

Maher continued, mentioning the views on gay marriage and racism have changed over the years in the United States. "This is one of the big problems with wokeness," Maher said, "that what you say doesn't have to make sense or jive with the facts or even be challenged lest the challenge be conflated with racism.'

"But saying that White power and privilege is at an all-time high is just ridiculous. Higher than a century ago, the year of the Tulsa Race Massacre? Higher than the years when the KKK rode unchecked and Jim Crow went unchallenged? Higher than the 1960s when The Supremes and Willie Mays still couldn't stay at the same hotel as the White people they were working with? Higher than during slavery?"


Maher concluded his monologue by saying "t's not a sin, and it's certainly not inaccurate, to say we've come a long way, baby. Not mission accomplished, just a long way."

Good for him.

He’s walked an unbroken path as have most white folks in the country.

Bill is a libertarian and libertarian are nothing but Republicans who want to smoke weed.

Libertarians are all about wanting small limited government until they’re up to their asses in floodwaters. Then government can’t get big enough, fast enough.

[REDSTATEWARD]

Whoops!

After Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted about her abuela's dilapidated home in Puerto Rico to "score political points," the progressive congresswoman's aunt said that the situation cannot be blamed on former President Donald Trump.

Libertarians are usually the affluent ones who bought the more expensive lots up the hill,  from which they can look down on the flooded ones and make sympathetic noises and then inspirational speeches about self-reliance.

To be fair, a lot of alabastards with money have tended to fuck with the Island of Puerto Rico over the years, the perverse vultures. It can’t entirely be blamed on impostor maggot trump.

That was not the argument Maher made.

[Hairy Lime]

And add a one party take-over of elections doubles down on the party’s stupidity.

That is happening state by state already.

Despite all that progress we are right now under no less threat from your type and the false gods you worship than we have been at any point in our history.

It’s a good argument for more progress faster right now. I might take it up with the Joes and see if some more of those excellent bills passed by the House can be expeditiously made into laws.

Thanks, Red.

You are a fount of good ideas this evening, however inadvertent.

Oh come on. You know the GOP state legislatures are passing “voter integrity” laws on strict partisan lines based on non existent voter fraud. But then you know that.

http://www.salon.com/2021/06/12/trumps-army-of-god-doug-mastriano-and-the-christian-nationalist-attack-on-democracy/

A party loyal to the Constitution and the American Project writ large would bury these fucks rather than elevate them.

Republicans are no longer loyal and won’t abide peace in this country. They must be systematically torn apart and to a large extent brought down never to rise again.
