Right-wingers are waging war on Reconstruction. Yesterday’s decision in Trump v. Barbara was a narrow 5-4 victory, but the reactionaries are not going to stop. Shame on some people for serving as foot soldiers for MAGA. My essay for @liberalcurrents.com: www.liberalcurrents.com/the-war-on-r...

According to Thomas's preposterous interpretation, the 14th Amendment is blatantly contradictory. It advances a race- conscious remedial measure, and then *in the very next sentence* proscribes all race- conscious remedial measures. 2/2
