Black people don't despise #Thomas because he's a #conservative. They reject him because they say he's a "#hypocrite" and a "#traitor" who hurts his own people to help himself.

Two months before the #CitizensUnited decision…, #attorney #CletaMitchell — later to play a role in #Trump’s false claims about the 2020 elections — filed papers for #GinniThomas to create a *#nonprofit* group of a type that ultimately benefited from the decision. #Leo was one of two directors listed on a separate application to conduct business in the state of Virginia. #Thomas was president. She signed it on New Year’s Eve of 2009, & #Crow provided much of the initial #cash.

#GinniThomas Helped ​Establish​ a ‘Billion-Dollar Force’ Ahead of Citizens United: Report

"NO INFLUENCE PEDDLING HERE, SAYS CLARENCE.
WHAT BULLSHIT!

Ginni #Thomas, and Leonard #Leo, the co-chairman of the #Federalist Society’s Board of Directors, were working behind the scenes with the support of a controversial billionaire

Its mission would be to, at the time, block then-President Barack Obama’s pet initiatives.”

It's clear with #Alito and #Thomas that all you have to do is buy them nice vacations, wine and dine them, and pander/compliment them like you're trying to score, and you'll get at least 2 #SCOTUS judges ruling for you every time! https://www.huffpost.com/entry/alito-recusal-refusal_n_64fb5af6e4b001fc1fdfa0e6

@heidilifeldman @Dahlialith It’s a devastating, spot-on piece. There must be a way to broadly call out the right wing’s “we’re the *real* victims here” m.o. The #GOP is the Party of Personal Responsibility™️ for everyone but themselves. Manipulative, mewling, privileged, “poor us!” bullies. It’s infuriating and insidious.

“You see, it’s not him. It’s you. You’re making the justices fly on private flights. Look what you made him do.”

Clarence #Thomas Discloses Three 2022 Flights on Right-Wing Billionaire's Private Jet

Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse said the filing "won't deter us from fully investigating the massive, secret, right-wing billionaire influence in which this court is enmired."

"For years, Thomas has used his position on our nation's highest court as a way to upgrade his own lifestyle—and that hasn't stopped," Herrig added.

If #Alito and #Thomas care about the #SCOTUS and the nation's faith that it works, they will resign this week.

#Thomas also acknowledged prior mistakes & #omissions in past reports, involving #BankAccounts, a #LifeInsurancePolicy & the name of his wife’s (#GinniThomas) real estate co.

Filings from #ClarenceThomas & Samuel #Alito were made public Thurs, months later than those of their colleagues at the high court, bc the 2 justices had requested 90-day extensions.

In his required annual #FinancialReport, #ClarenceThomas said he opted to fly on the #PrivateJet of his friend & #benefactor, #HarlanCrow, for ONE of the trips on the advice of his security detail. The justices faced heightened security risks, #Thomas noted, after the May, 2022 #leak of the court’s majority opinion to eliminate the nationwide right to #abortion & overturn #RoeVWade.

(except he took a number of similar travel gifts prior to the #Dobbs leak & decision)

"Frederick Douglass, who was born into Southern #slavery, described the South as “a little nation by itself, having its own language, its own rules, regulations, and customs.”

Fewer than 2000 families — six-tenths of one percent of the Southern #population — owned more than 50 enslaved people and ruled the #oligarchy that we call the #Confederacy with an iron fist. The 75 percent of white #people in the South during that era who did not own any enslaved persons generally lived in deep #poverty.

#Women had no rights, #queer people were routinely #tortured and #murdered, #education for both enslaved #Africans and poor whites was generally outlawed, #religious attendance was often mandated, and #hunger and #disease stalked all but those in the #families of the two thousand morbidly #rich planter #dynasties.

#Modern-day Red states are doing their best to recreate that old Confederacy, right down to state Senator Kathy #Chism’s new effort to return the Confederate battle flag to #Mississippi's state flag. Ron #DeSantis and Mike #Pence have both emphasized their presidential pledges to restore the names of murderous Civil #War #traitors to #American #military bases, celebrating their armed defense of the “values” of the Old South.

Today’s version of yesteryear’s #plantation owners are called #CEOs, hedge and vulture fund managers, and the morbidly rich.

They use the power of #political #bribery given them by five corrupt #Republicans on the #SupremeCourt — with Clarence #Thomas’ tie-breaking #Citizens United vote on behalf of his sugar daddy Harlan #Crow — to lord over their Red states, regardless of the will of those states’ citizens."

45. MG Vengadores: En guerra con los dioses. La saga que da nombre al título repite el error de la anterior, mucha preparación para terminar de una forma abrupta y anticlimática, dando un número 100 bastante flojete y descafeinado, pese a encontrarnos con un primerizo y muy interesante Barry Windsor Smith.

A continuación, una saga con los Centinelas que me ha parecido bastante resultona y divertida. Los primeros números de Englehart, con el Fantasma del Espacio y el Segador, cierran un tomo que, al final, acaba siendo muy curioso y variado.

Marcel Cartier - Standing Upright (Thomas Sankara Tribute)

#Thomas #Sankara, the #revolutionary #leader who transformed what was Upper Volta to #Burkina #Faso. Nearly 39 years since his untimely death, his #legacy continues to live on across #Africa and the #world.

44. MG: Vengadores - La guerra Kree/Skrull. Me ha gustado un poco más que la última vez que lo leí, sobre todo por la obvia y valiente crítica al macartismo, pero no deja de "molestarme" que se resuelva todo tan mágicamente en el último número, me parece muy anticlimático todo.
