Why We Resist

Supreme Court guts Voting Rights Act, greenlights GOP gerrymanders. In a 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court kneecapped the Voting Rights Act (VRA), the landmark civil rights law that restricted racial gerrymandering and racial discrimination in voting for sixty years. Callais ruling may also demolish states’ voting rights laws. The Trump administration is already moving to use the Supreme Court’s gutting of the Voting Rights Act to dismantle protections for Black and Latino voters ahead of the 2026 midterms.  ‘We are ON IT!’: Trump DOJ vows to weaponize Supreme Court ruling against minority voters

CEO pay soared in 2025, 20 times faster than workers’ pay. Analysis finds real wages fell 12% since 2019, with inequality widening in the US beyond global levels

Judge blocks Washington’s new sheriff standards law. Four eastern Washington sheriffs brought the emergency challenge to the law, raising constitutional concerns.

Senate Bill 5974 established new, equal standards for county sheriffs, who are usually elected, and police chiefs, who are appointed. Failing to meet the new requirements or getting state certification revoked is grounds for removal from office under the new law. This leaves open the question whether Rick Kuss, supporter of constitutional sheriffs and a MAGA candidate will be able to run for sheriff against Brandon Myers (D) in Kitsap County.

ICE

Bremerton man detained by ICE, 30 years after a teenage crime

Bounpone Morisath, who goes by Boun, pronounced “Boon,” was detained after arriving for a regular check-in appointment on March 11 with immigration authorities in Seattle, according to his wife, Emily Hassakonburee, and his attorney, Nicolas Olano of Anchorage, Alaska. Morisath, who was born in Laos and immigrated to the United States with his family from a refugee camp in Thailand as a 5-year-old child in 1980, has made regular visits to federal immigration offices for years, part of a complicated legal arrangement that stems from a 1994 arrest in Alaska, when he was just 18.

Alligator Alcatraz was hell, says Montrealer detained by ICE 

Douglas Dixon knew about Alligator Alcatraz, the infamous immigration detention centre in Florida operated by ICE. But never in his wildest imagination did he think he’d end up there in shackles. Now back in his native Montreal after 21 years in the United States following his deportation, Dixon shared his harrowing story with hosts Bill Brownstein and Aaron Rand on the latest episode of The Corner Booth from Snowdon Deli.

Trump signs bill that finally fully funds the government

President Donald Trump signed a bill Thursday that will fund almost every agency in the Department of Homeland Security for the next five months, ending the shutdown that began in mid-February. The House approved the bill, which doesn’t include additional spending on Immigration and Customs Enforcement or the Border Patrol, on a voice vote earlier in the day. Trump enacting the DHS appropriations bill finally marks an end to the annual government funding process that was supposed to be wrapped up before the end of September. 

Back to the Top

Donald Trump doesn’t just want a ballroom. He needs a ballroom, in the way a medieval king needs a bigger throne room to feel safe from invading peasants.

Every event, crisis, or stray headline now somehow circles back to the same conclusion: if only there were a 90,000-square-foot, gold-trimmed, lawsuit-defying mega-ballroom on the White House lawn, none of this would be happening. Security breach? Ballroom. Legal setback? Ballroom. Constitution? Iimproved by ballroom.
